When Blizzard was still Blizzard. Dark, political and mature.

For all you Terran players out there, this is what happens when you abandon your marines...

I played this when I was about 11.. I remember one time, my dad told my he was busy with something, and my response was "Your Vodka can wait, my good father."
The look on his face was priceless, and I didn't actually know what I was saying haha

I love how SC1 had such a dark setting. SC2 cinematics were like a drama show

Starcraft 2 cinematics: "We gotta fight for our people" "Hope and courage" "I love you Jim" "I luv u 2 sarah"
Starcraft 1 cinmatics: "WHERE'S THE AIR SUPPORT?!" "Thank God for cold fusion! *drinks beer* " *marines getting massacred by zerg* "I luv u sarge"

Man I remember when my brother made me play this and I was scared of the opening cinematic... That was the real deal.

Watching these cutscenes on a windows 95 computer in 2000 was my peak dopamine

And after 17 years I can still feel the atmosphere in this cinematic. But I already forgot every cinematic in SC2.

It's been over 15 years, and I still remember the marine asking where is air support, at the time I had no idea what he was saying because english isn't my first language, but the image of the zerg running towards him from all sides as the ship left told everything I needed to know

The intro in the trench is completely inspired from "Apocalypse now" Love the Christmas lights

I remember when I saw this intro as a kid, seeing the cruiser abandon the men in their trenches, I immediately knew what war can be and never got inspired by war since; it's one thing to be a brave fighter thrilled by action, it's another thing to know that you're just a puppet easily sacrified

Average battle life span of 4.8 seconds was practically doubled to 9.6 seconds with the addition of the battle field medic.  this is what a 25 second training time gets you in the Koprulu sector.

Gerrard DuGalle and Alexei Stukov...My all time favorite characters in a game. The destiny of Admiral DuGalle was worthy of a novel

Better flame animations than most cinematics now a days on that lighter xD

And this, gentlemen, is what armor 3 looks like.

My father was a huge Starcraft fan
So when I was three years old,
I made marine for the first time
At the six years old, I could beat five computers
This game gave me a lot of memories
But Blizzard doesn't seem to love this game any more
It was a great time. Jim,

damn. this cinematic is so impressive that i still get goosebump. the absolute despair that marine felt. endless wave of zerg rushing toward you makes you feel so helpless. the zerg ,endless, mindless, the most effect killing machine coming at you without fear swarming you and tear you apart in a matter of a second.

Starcraft 1 cinematics were dark, grim and gritty... it looked mature and realistic...

starcraft 2 cinematics is so hollywood-ishly CGI abused... they look visually stunning though... wasn't bad either...

But starcraft for me should always have that dark tone the way it was on SC1

Am I the only non zerg player who finds SC1 zerg a lot more terrifying and creepy than the cartoonish and funny zerg in SC2?

WHOS IN CHARGE HERE?!?!?
WHERE IS THE FUCKING AIR SUPPORT?!??
