    StarCraft

    Game » consists of 11 releases. Released Apr 01, 1998

    StarCraft has been called the greatest real-time strategy game ever and it's certainly one of the most critically acclaimed. StarCraft features three powerful, yet balanced races: the Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss. You play as each race fights to the death for the fate of the universe.

    Should I play Starcraft again before I play Starcraft 2?

    I haven't played the first one in years but I'm getting excited about 2 coming out. Will playing a bunch of 1 before 2 comes out taint my experience, or will it make me appreciate everything much more?

    Depends on how long ago you played the first and how much of the story you remember or want to revisit.
    Don't play it for the game mechanics imo.
    If you want to go thought the story arc again tho then do it.
