StarCraft on OS X: Old love never dies
Thursday, February 21st, 2008
It was years ago when friends (co-workers) got me hooked on StarCraft. On Saturdays we met at someone’s place to play StarCraft. Many hours of fun trying to wipe each other of the map, literally. StarCraft is all about building your army, defending your base and trying to wreak havoc on someone else’s base. All in all nothing but good memories. Well except for the fact that we had to wait for hours on Patrick to get his system up and running… sigh…
Blizzard supplies a PC version as well as a Mac version on the CDs. On one of the Game-a-lot meetings Randolf showed up with a Mac notebook (OS 9) running StarCraft. So I thought let’s try to install StarCraft on my MacBook Pro on Mac OS X. On the Blizzard support site I found a native OS X installer so you don’t have to cope with the Mac OS 9 backwards compatibility issues. So I downloaded the installer and started it. It allowed me to install StarCraft as well as the expansion pack Brood War from the original CDs. Worked like a charm…
