I was going to say that they should offer a discount if you own the original version, but then I remembered I bought the game almost 20 years ago and probably have no proof of purchase.
- nikdaheratik 10y agoI actually think I may have some kind of proof of purchase since I linked the game to the battle.net account at some point. But I can't imagine the cost being too outrageous in any case.
- 1123581321 10y agoIt is common among people who still play bw to have bought 2-4 copies of the game over ~15 years as discs and keys get lost. What's one more copy at this point? :) I hope it will at least have tie-in content for other Blizzard games, though.
- TulliusCicero 10y agoFun fact: the expansion didn't even have its own CD key.
- TulliusCicero 10y agoThey're releasing the original (sans graphics improvements) as completely free soon.
- joshstrange 10y agoDo you have a link for this and do you know if it will work on newer macs? I hate playing SC in a wineskin.
- TulliusCicero 10y agoInitially they've said it won't work on macs, but it sounds like it's coming soon. Here are the details for the upcoming patch: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/520460-starcraft-v118a-patch-notes-preparation-for-scr http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/520460-starcraft-v...
- Kihashi 10y agoI was able to find my copy maybe 5 years ago and added it to my Battle.Net (now Blizzard) account as "StarCraft Anthology". It then could be downloaded and managed from the blizzard launcher like any of their other games, which I thought was cool. They also released an version for intel macs around that time, which was nice since I had just gotten a mac. Blizzard has maybe the best track record for supporting their old games.
