1:44:05 “ Wow, does that mean they’re gonna send backup for us?”

“Not enough minerals” 💀

The dialogue is perfect but mannnn those voice filters.

The fact that Jack Ritschel(RIP) could sound so different as Duke, Zeratul, DuGalle, and the Overmind is testament to him, but mannnn the writing and sound design.

Absolutely lightning in a bottle.

Stukov: *gets shot in the chest*
Gerard: "no!"

*Background starts playing terran banger*

"Its a zerglin' lester. Smaller typa zerg." I still say this randomly out loud to myself 20 years later

I love that everyone has extremely reasonable motives throughout the entire story. Yeah, it’s all goofy science fantasy, but if the characters are legible it doesn’t matter what the setting is. In particular, Aldaris and his character arc are extremely underrated, and I didn’t fully appreciate it until going back through the whole story again.

Zasz prophetically questioned Kerrigan's motives and authority at his own peril.

Man, the music from the old blizzard games was just unmatched brilliance, diablo (tristram theme especially) the modernish western style of the terrans, the otherwordly themes of the zerg etc...
Blizzard used to really care about creating brilliance and used to be one of the real gems of the gaming world. sigh how times have changed.

Blizzard lived long enough to go from the hero to becoming the villain.

While all those old companies like westwood etc... died heroes.

I find it funny how Kerrigan still says “Yes, Cerebrate?” to the player even when the player is the Protoss Executor

Back when games still had soul
The entire direction of this was visionary

All the in-game dialogue and scenes are gold! thank you for including them.

Wow. I completely forgot how Raynor and Fenix became such BROS.

I miss this old game.   I remember playing online as Zerg with my Uncle.   Great memories and lots of fun.

Man I forgot how awesome Tassadar was. Still my favorite hero character Blizzard made.

The galaxy rarely sees such inspiring people.

Thank goodness they didn’t re-record all of the audio. It’s so good especially for it’s time.

I never played one, only got 2, so i came here to actually learn the story after seeing so many "StarCraft in X minutes!" Videos..

All I can say after watching this much, is Fenix really is a G. En Taro Tassadar

Thank you for this video, this is to me the literal best way for distilled story telling of SC lore

Brings me back to the summer of 99', me and my friends played this online the whole time.  Good times

3:44:51 For 2 decades, I never knew there was a hidden level, and it shows where Duran went, the Hybrid shenanigans, and why Zeratul is doing what he's doing, tying it with SC2. Here I thought the Hybrid concept only came from SC2 and Narud being what he is in Heart of the Swarm was woah. It was actually here, in SC1, hidden.

Holy moly man

Really great video. I try to replay this game every 4-5 years but it is mainly to hear this dialog and to hear the wonderful soundtrack and sounds effects so this video has replaced my need to do a full playthrough. My life for Aiur.

This game is just so well made the characters the accents it so real. Perfect dystopian future vibes.
