+SpiceWare Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 A few years back I was able to get the original StarCraft running on a modern Mac by installing the Windows version via Wineskin. It worked, but was kludgy, so I stopped playing it soon after. Fast forward to today - Blizzard has released the game for free, and it's been updated to run under current Windows and Mac systems! Installers can be found here - STARCRAFT 1.18 RELEASE Running under macOS Sierra on my Mac Pro (COMMAND-M will toggle between Full-Screen and Windowed mode): happy happy joy joy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+SpiceWare Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 No problem! Did you see this post from a few weeks back? StarCraft Remastered in 4K I'm looking forward to that as this version is now extremely pixelated when run on my 27" 4K monitors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little pixelation never bothered me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 The free Public Test has been available for a while. Glad to see the 1.18 patch is finally live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also changed the text rendering so it will take advantage of the higher resolutions, so the dialogs and missions briefings look really good.
