Ain't never enough pylons.

I guess this would have been the first RTS I ever got into. And if not for Civ 2 would have been the first strategy game I got into. I also remember it being a game I was fucking terrible at as a kid. I just wanted to build hyper massive armies and just steamroll my opponents. But of course they 1) had a population cap so you couldn't build that big of armies and 2) a lot of the campaign missions revolved around you using a limited number of units to go through levels without building more.

I guess I'm rating this so highly because I did enjoy it even if I was bad (even if I had to cheat at a the campaign to beat it) and also because it was such a cool game. The style of the different races. The terrifying nature of the Zerg. How fucking cool the Protoss were. Archons were my favorite. The fact that you had to fuse new of your guys together to make one. That's thinking with vespene gas, baby.
