Starcraft was one of the first PC games I owned. I asked for it for Christmas (in 1998, I think) and anxiously waited for December 25th. After rummaging through gifts under the tree, a boxy package caught my eye. After my parents went to bed, I carefully unwrapped the gift to confirm my suspicions. It was Starcraft and Christmas day couldn't come sooner, I thought. I killed soooo many hours into Starcraft (and threw several curse words at my unreliable dial-up connection while playing online) and almost burned the house down because of it (that's another story). The game is incredibly well-balanced and holds up 16 years later.

@rrhoover Totally agree! I had a similar Christmas experience on this one. Every time I play Cards Against Humanity these days I have to smile whenever I pull the "You must construct additional pillions" card (and then I have to explain the reference to my friends, haha). One of the best video games ever made in my opinion.

@rrhoover Starcraft, Red Alert 2, and Age of Empires II are, to this day, the only things that I have ever woken up before 8am willfully to do. I think I played a game every morning before school in 5th grade.

@alexschiff @rrhoover Did you guys ever play Dune 2000? Another good one from '98, and a really underrated game.

@xoalexo Dune 2000 was like *right* before my time. I remember a few of the older kids playing it but no one in my grade did.

It was this game and Marathon that did it for me. (Marathon is also still available, can probably be made to run: http://marathon.sourceforge.net )

Just played this a few weeks ago on my iMac (which was a bit of a challenge). It was a blast.

@roryreiff I just installed on a windows partition, do you have a trick to get it running in OS X?

@willimholte This link was helpful. I didn't run it on a partition actually, but directly in OSX using Wine. http://forums.macrumors.com/show... Hope that helps!
