I must've failed so many classes in high school and college because of the goldenage of PC games: Starcraft/BW, DIablo/Diablo2, WC2/3, Fallout 1 and 2, Baldurs Gate, Monkey Island series, Unreal/Unreal Tournament, Half-Life, Half-Life2, Team Fortress, Counter Strike, Heroes of Might and Magic 1-3, Descent, Myst, MechWarrior series. Sometimes I look back and wonder if I didn't play as many games where I would be...but then I listen to soundtracks like this and remember all the good times I had. So glad I can cherish those memories with so many friends. Hope you guys are all in a good place in life and to remember not to take life for granted. Cherish everyday. Fight the good fight.
Its 1998-1999. The internet slowly getting better, Pc games too. So used to play Nes and N64. Some good soundtracks in those childish games. Then you hear this music at 58:26. The zerg broodwar theme. Few words could describe how i felt.. Back then to have experienced this game before 9/11, the 90´s. The soundtrack, gameplay, story, multiplayers with friend. Something ill never forget, i feel lucky.
Yeah! i was 10 years old when i first started playing this, dial up internet, downstairs in the dark cold cement floored basiment, this music hit hard, heart racing when i moved my units through the black map, was the coolest game i have ever played.
Thank you for posting again! I enjoyed listening to this while playing long games of Homeworld II and was sad to see it gone. The protoss -> terran -> zerg order makes for a nice buildup in energy over the course of the whole video
First played in 2001 in PC cafe (gaming club), got my own PC only six years after. Of course they had all games pirated, and Brood War had no music. I remember playing with music first time at friend's home, was shocked.
That just made the experience all the more immersive to me at 12. And as someone who loved playing Zerg in multiplayer matches at school, it'd drive people who didn't understand how to properly play Zerg mad.
The two were developed in the same studio so that would make sense, if there was something Blizzard was known for BEFORE the controversies was that they loved referring to their previous works in future IPs.
I never cared much for the Protoss soundtrack but in this remaster it's so beautiful and majestic that really made me appreciate it. I also have a much better audio system now than '98 that lets me pick all the little nuances.
I always loved the Protoss soundtrack. It perfectly conveys the loss, resilience, and hopeless struggle for survival of a once proud and powerful race that now faces extinction.
😢Love god and love all people. Trust, hope and do good in god. 😂Believe in the gospel Jesus Christ for Jesus Christ shed his blood and died for the sins of the world and he was buried and rose again from the dead three days later. For Jesus Christ God almighty and the flesh and if you believe in the gospel you are spiritually reborn into the family of God.
Cant wait until the first gamers end up in retirement homes and shit like this is blasting through speakers. Or better playing Starcraft. Jeremy:"OMG you cheated!" Me:"No i didnt. Skill issue, you noob. Dont pee your pants!" Jeremy:"I already did. This morning. Nurse had to clean it, lol"
3:55 is where my favorite part starts. The Protoss music makes me feel the sci-fi theme of the game the most. The Terran music is good, but not as good as the Protoss music.
(I will never read a reply) The fact 2:42 can send a shiver through my body shows what a masterpiece this was alone. It's not just the song, but the connections my brain has made with knowing the amazing story, voice acting, and gameplay came with it. It's not just some boomer jargon when I say "They really don't make them like this anymore". And it's been this way for a while. Since the moneymaking and shareholder patterns are impossible for companies to avoid nowadays, I can safely say we will likely never see a game that ever comes close to this in any shape or form. Been 25+ years and nothing has even released that is 1/10th as good as Starcraft 1.
Best thing we can do is encourage more new private companies that don't go on the stock market to make more games to replace the established guard. Gaming is finally coming back in strength especially with Godot being close to being fully operational to make RTS and more complex-bigger game types (Grand Strategy, etc) I'm building a few smaller games until we skill is well then I'll make a StarCraft successor with other people. Or who knows maybe make a fanmade game that focuses on some unexplored parts of the games and new time periods
