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.

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

Vrael -- wasnt even that really, they 6000 apm just made the terran army so much more value/$ that the extra economy didnt matter[01:58 pm]
NudeRaider -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man nothing too special tbh. the human player wasn't ready to combat the push that stretched almost the whole map. So this game means nothing. We'll have to see how it goes once the humans have adjusted for its unorthodox strategies.
they basically lost most of their army in one big battle and didn't have the time and production to leverage the economic advantage and come back from that blow.[01:55 pm]
NudeRaider -- Oh_ManOh_Man shouted: https://youtu.be/1vsTqNwHquE omg guys it's happening. ITS HAPPENING. EVERONY STAY CALM. STAY F:wob::wob:CKING CALM!
not sure why you are so hyped, when basically the same happened 7 years ago with AlphaStar on SC2.[01:53 pm]
NudeRaider -- Oh_ManOh_Man shouted: 6000 apm XD, i dont even understand how it culd came back wen it was 5 base vs 2
