Running classic Starcraft in 2024
So, this will sound very dumb, but I have zero interest in remaster or giving modern Blizzard any more of my money (lol)! I just really wanna play Brood War again without glitching up or weird color palette issues. I've been on Mac for years for making music, but it doesn't look like any recent releases work on Mac? Idk! Anyways, if there's some way to run SC:BW easily like a cheapo laptop please LMK I'm kind of tech illiterate!

You can download SD StarCraft for free from BNet
Does it work ok on modern PCs? Last time I checked there were a lot of weird palette glitches.
None.
The Curious
This free version of SC is the same as Remastered internally, just with the HD graphics locked out until you pay for them. It's not the same as old 1.16.1. Palettes are thankfully not a thing anymore.
The upshot is that you can play on battle.net with it (right?) and launch mods specific to game version 1.23.

Trial and error... mostly error.
Thanks for the advice, I did manage to get it working. Running SCMDraft on mac has been a very different story but I have a semi-working solution.
None.
I remember how I play it about 20 years ago .... is it possible to run it on macosx somehow ?

wait, did they drop mac support with scr? 1.16.1 should still work though.
We do a little trolling

Not that I'm aware of. Pretty sure SC:R is fully mac compatible.
Article seems to confirm mac compatibility: https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/28438

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.[2026-7-26. : 3:14 pm]
ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.[2026-7-26. : 3:05 pm]
NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg][2026-7-26. : 11:15 am]
ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
