The History of Starcraft 

Hi everyone! As mentioned in the video if you see anything inaccurate please mention it along with a source in under this comment. Thanks so much!

I never played the standard mode but I spent hundreds of hours playing custom maps. So many great memories. Brood War was the best computer game of its era, maybe of all time. Truly a masterpiece.

Starcraft is literally a cultural icon. There is so much history in the game. It goes beyond just being a popular game... it influenced so much. E sports literally was created because of Starcraft as well as DOTA, which was a starcraft UMS map first before warcraft three. Such a cultural influence. For example I loved watching starcraft so much I decided to learn Korean and now I speak Korean and the whole experience has merged into a lifestyle.

Very nice!! I’m not a Starcraft fan but I like a good story! All I can say is I went to South Korea before and the hotel TV had one channel, I assume on cable, that was 24hours of streaming Starcraft! Years before twitch or the Tube! So I love that you put that in there!!

timeless game

Great production for such a small channel. You deserve more subs.

Wow This is truly a great video and i learned so many new things, also hope u don't mind if i'll use this in my Esports class to educate people about starcraft, i really think this video deserves a ton more views and u deserve alot more subscribers.

I enjoyed this video a lot! Great stuff man very well made with well sourced info

You forgot about Starcraft Ghost and Starcraft universe. Those are two other parts of the history. Ghost being a huge let down and starcraft universe being made.

I will say that StarCraft remastered was really impressive to me, it somehow captured what my mind IMGAINED everything looked like back when I was a kid, being able to zoom in and actually see units in detail was so damn cool.

Great video and information. I didn't realize it was so popular is spawned televised viewing of the game play. I still have my copy of the original Starcraft. Keep up the good work!

love it, thnx for creating a great video like this!

Still playing SC2 today. Coop mode is awesome.

Another great damn video, man!!! Of course, you’re gonna have to do a follow up Warcraft one now. 😆

Excellent and informative video. Been a long time Starcraft fan since 97 and really been enjoying 2. A legendary series. Thanks for the good video.

Great stuff. This reminds me of the old gametrailers All Your History videos, which is most definitely a good thing.

Wow, a great video, thanks, it's sad to see you have so little subs and viewers, keep up the good work!

Starcraft - what a fantastic enterprise! Now I mean the original from 98! It got it´s title, it really kicked but and I would say it´s still the best RTS of all time! These games aren´t done anymore. The story is fantastic - and the love and devotion for the game must have been crazy at the time. I enjoyed another vid also that included that they hadn´t been able to finish the battlenet code even just prior the release and what craze it was to send people with the cocurrent projects over to the other office to race against the clock. Fun fact from the vid was also the cast which included actors such as the one behind Mr Burns in Simpsons:) There was such a devotion for this game; they really gave their all, actors included. I just love the fact that the actress behind Kerrigan - Glynnis Talken Campbell - for many years as I checked hadn´t even a picture at IMDB. Still holding millions of fans around the globe! That´s genuine achievement! I still collect those Kodak-moment pics of her that I´ve been able to pic up during the years from the studio where one can see the focus lended over to the character. It´s really impressive. Even though the second game completely undermined the first, including the characters, it talks for what a milestone it was; managing to lend value to just crap, enough to make it work (through the original game). Like inflation in national economics. I was so furious how much they had drained characters such as Kerrigan in the second game and I´m so relieved that Glynnis Talken Campbell was denied the role for Starcraft 2. The reason escapes me. That although makes the character intact and untouchable for ever and furthermore - it did´t draw the actress down with it. Nothing against Tricia Helfer - not at all. She could only work with what she had. Starcraft made the benchmark for its entire genera to come and still managed so beautifully to keep the game universe open for all that wanted to continue to develop the world it in their own way. I have never seen anyting like it - ever! Not since Tolkiens´Lord of the Rings.

I remember watching korean TV in the 90s where they play Starcraft. It looked like the e-sports that we know today

The video ends wrong saying that Starcraft Remastered releasing was bad because it had many bugs. But that was only a state of the releasing, now the game attracts new players and is the favourite Starcraft version of korean pro players. Anyway the video was great. I watched this 2 times. Thanks!

both StarCraft and Command and Conquer are some of my most favourite games, i've played them when i was a child, i started playing both of the series in 2012.

Great production, had me hooked the entire time. Makes me feel old as a SC player tho :D.

Thanks for sharing👏

Awesome video, thank you

So sad to see how Blizzard has become a mere shadow of what it was.

This is probably the best named channel for gaming history.

Awesome video!

2019 and i still love starcraft♥

Starcraft 화이팅!!! Starcraft 만세!! Long live Starcraft and Korean proleage !

liked and subbed. i feel you are very passionate about what you speak on. great content

No mention of StarCraft Ghost ? That was before World of Warcraft !!!

I have never been better at anything in my life than I am at Starcraft 1v1 fastest. The love I have for that game is unreal lol. I miss it so much 😥

Loved this!!!!!! Could you do WarCraft 😃

This video was great! The only thing I missed was talking about the existence of the SC: BW pro scene to this day (ASL, etc.)

I lived through that era in Korea. You can start a random conversation with random Korean kids with some think like, 'hey, you think 4 lurkers can take 12 zealots?' and the other kids be like 'is it burrowed and zealots walk up to them? or you start burrowing after you walk up to them?' it was crazy.

what an awesome video

this game is still goated like 25 years later

Ah, the nostalgia! :)

Just a correction. DotA was a actually a mod for StarCraft. It then went on to be a mod for Warcraft 3.

Stsrcraft is the greatest game ever made

The 1st game’s story was leaps and bounds better than the sequel. Hopefully with Microsoft’s acquisition of StarCraft we’ll get a TRUE sequel.

no mention of brood war?

Great video

nice video, my one issue was the narration of the name/title of the people, especially sometimes right after you just introduced them.

Unless Blizzard can find a convincing way to charge us $5 each time we play a mission or custom game, we ain't having a new StarCraft game ever again.

great video, fantastic game and oh how the mighty have fallen when i look at blizzard now

Huh, wasn't there an urban legend that a starcraft disk cut off a Korean kids head? I always made sure my disc drive was pointed away from me just in case, even though I knew deep down it was bs.

No mention of Broodwar?

Starcraft 1 was horror , taking inspirations from lots of sci Fi movies , they put their heart and soul to it, starcraft 2 however was just a cheesy cliche romance story , and gave a villain who was written to be pure evil have a redemption arc, it was bleh

How is this so under watched?

Present day, original sc has a bigger current player count then sc2. Long live broodwar.

First watching starcraft tournament in cable Arirang TV

Its amazing how few views this video has, because it’s an incredible video.

To bad StarCraft ghost will never come to fruition

Nice video, just forgot to mention the obvious Warhammer influence :)

Great video but some things were weirdly redundant and mentioned explicitly multiple times. I felt this made everything feel a little loopy. Other than that I enjoyed the video!

People misspelled it all the time.: mór- héim.

no mention of the use map setting game mode wich allowed people to make and publish their own mini-games Like I have

Still never played StarCraft 2. I decided not to get it when I saw the campaign was being split up and then just sort of forgot about it.

This is a 5k sub channel with 1 Million sub quality content 👍👌 instant sub from me homie

Seeing what is happening to Blizzard now... They actually care about games and player feedback back then...

Any history of Starcraft that doesn't mention Warhammer 40,000 feels incomplete.

ahh the good old days back when blizzard could do no wrong back before they utterly ruined their image in my eyes with wow starcraft brood war all three warcraft games and their expansions where games i played near endlessly and loved hell starcraft 64 is probably my second most played game ever lol but yeah just sucks good blizzard died with the frozen throne but at least we got starcraft remastered....

1998!!!!

Lol and u could only move 4 units at a time in warcraft

great video but the Starcraft footage they keep showing is terrible and makes me nervous. lol.

I liked Star Craft, the first few anyway, but it got lost in its own lore and importance and stopped being fun, a bit like Command Conquer.

The way you read out everyone's names and occupation really bothers me... It's the first time I hear something like that and it's really artificial.

Arcadology you forgot to mention Starcraft copied warhammer 40k.

Starcraft copied warhammer 40k.

Great video

you never mentioned brood war????
