StarCraft: Brood War (1998)
Real Time Strategy's finest (to date!)
Warcraft and Warcraft II, the predecessors of this game, changed the gaming world forever. Blizzard introduced a whole new genre of PC games.
With Starcraft, Blizzard proved that they could keep on applying their genius towards pushing forward real time strategy games in huge leaps of creativity and intricacy. The game is simply brilliant, from the many ways the races and their respective technologies interact, to the engrossing storyline of the game.
Perhaps most important was the introduction of BattleNet -- an online forum where Starcraft players from around the world have been dueling around the clock for years. If you haven't played this game yet, it's time to check it out.
(Don't forget the expansion pack, and watch for Warcraft III to be released Spring 2002.)
