wth is starcraft

I figure...I've asked before, and I'm sure there are other people looking for Abandonware games.
Definition of Abandonware: a term used to describe computer software that is no longer sold or supported, or whose copyright ownership may be unclear
...so don't post anything that is not abandon/share/freeware...because that's just silly and OT.

Alright I've been looking for this game for almost a year now, mostly out of curiosity. The problem is...I don't remember the title, I really only remember bits and pieces of it. Some of you may have played it a long time ago. I think it was made for the same OS as like Manhole (perhaps 98...probably not ME). Without knowing the title I'm having a lot of trouble hunting it down. I'll give you what I remember of the game, and if you ever played it or remember anything...leave a message.

*It was based on Mother Goose's Fairy Tales
*As you completed different puzzles, you got little gold coins
*It was made for young kids, very obviously, it was a happy game
*The only riddle/puzzle I really remember is the Mary Mary Quite Contrary one...where you had to find or line up her maids (all in a row...ha).

Any help? I know they had a humpty dumpty puzzle too. But I didn't like that one for some reason...

Oh Kame, you and your abandonware. I can't find anything on google this time. Unless it's this: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/365/Mixed+Up+Mother+Goose.html



None.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[04:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.

NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
