Wow, how video games have changed since 1998. I'm playing Starcraft again and what a blast from the past this game is! Terrible pathfinding, atrocious, super-low res graphics, and one annoying, looping midi soundtrack. I understand that the balance and intricacies of Starcraft are entirely unparalleled, but the game is just aged. Watching videos of the Starcraft 2 beta, they've just improved the game in every regard - automated mineral collection, setting rally points to troops, idle worker notifications. Just everything is brought up to current-gen.
 
But still, I gotta get pro, and getting pro involves playing hideously old games just because they still get played at tournaments. First up - completing a Protoss game without hearing the words "Construct additional pylons!" Wish me luck!
