StarCraft!
I think this game will never die. Still 97685 players using starcraft on Bnet and the game came out in 1997!

It's my fav game of all time.

Oh and BTW, I'll accept any challenge from any of you players on a map that we both know. Or maybe we could even make a 2vs2 or 3vs3. No money maps please, that is only for noobs. BGH is somewhat ok but I'd prefer a map that no one uses. A BW map.

I've played it once. Didn't like it I'm afriad. But I have a friend who is hocked. And the cousin of my neightbour is Champion of Norway in the game, and has been in some kind of World Championship, so I guess it's quite alive yes... Then, on the other hand, there are still a few who plays Civ2 still, right?

Yes, I don't know wht it is, but there's something about Starcraft that just 'clicks'. I used to be hooked on it.. to the extent where I played it for 36 hours straight once. I stay away from games that have that effect on me now.

StarCraft is the best Real Time Strategy game I've played and the one I've liked the most. However, I'm afraid I can't play online because

1) I suck, specially when not playing Terran (are they the easier to play with?).

2) I've serious problems defeating Terrans, specially against tanks.

3) I'm not sure about the status of my StarCraft copy and thus, if I'm able to connect to Battlenet.

First time I played Starcraft, it took a long time before I finished it (It was a 1 on 1 against a friend of mine)... not because both of us sucked at it, but because both of us more or less fell asleep I guess... it was just WAY TOOOOO BORING!!!

I never played a second game... and the other player haven't touched RTS games after that...

Protoss are the easiest imo. And terran the hardest.
But I'm good with all 3, I'm a pro at SC.

Use air, Mass zerglings, Ultralisks, Zealots, spawn broodling, plague, recall units near them, anything. Tanks are powerful, but dumb.

Ironically, starcraft made me hate RTS.... EVry RTS game that came out after BW I ended up hating.. (except RA2 which I casually played)

Terrans Suck. But not by much.

One thing I didnt like about WC3 was one the best improvement in the game. Micromanagement is much easier to do. Its actually a good thing, but it makes scrub players actually play lot better than they do in SC IMO.

Such a lame comeback.

Of course, you could only master the mindless and boring games.
