2. 8-bit Starcraft
1 year ago
This is gameplay footage from the original game "Starcraft" as it was released in 1984. My uncle worked as an assistant programmer for Blizzard/Activision in the early 80's. I found this in his closet next to an old Colecovision.

    I'm sorry, but let me point out a few things here.

    1. Blizzard was not even founded till 1991.
    2. Starcraft was barely an idea and not even in development in 1992.
    3. It would be extremely difficult to control that game on a NES (1985 or 83 in Japan) or Atari.

    Now if you did create the video, I do have to say I'm impressed. I laughed at the Zerg rush and lone Zealot killing the Siege Tank before it could do anything. But to try and say this is a real game just makes me sad.

    It's real. I found it under some field and stream magazines in my uncle's closet. Also it was for colecovision, the one with the number pad, not NES. I don't know why anyone wouldn't believe me, I would never joke about something as serious as this video.
