The StarCraft Series is a series of Real time strategy games developed by
Blizzard Entertainment that focuses on the struggle between three
inter-galactic factions - A future human race known as Terrans, an insectoid
race known as the Zerg and the Protoss, a technologically advanced race of
beings with psionic abilities. The setting for all StarCraft games is the
Koprulu Sector, a distant corner of the Milky Way galaxy in some 500 years in
the future 26th century by earth time.
The series got its start in 1998 with the release of StarCraft
which was quickly followed up by two expansion packs. This first game and
expansions all received widespread critical acclaim and was commercially very
successful. After the release of StarCraft: Brood War the series went through a
dormant period that lasted nearly 12 years until the release of StarCraft II: Wings of Librerty in 2010.
StarCraft II, like its predecessor, was a critical and commercial success
introducing a new generation of PC gamers to the wonders of a real time
strategy masterpiece. StarCraft II as a trilogy was planned from the start and
has seen the release of two additional titles in 2013 and 2015. Of the seven
titles in the StarCraft series six are exclusive to the PC/Mac platforms, these
are
detailed in the list that follows. One title, StarCraft 64, was
a port of StarCraft released for the Nintendo 64 game system in 2000.
