Trivia:

The game's Easter Egg also consists of some secret voices on some units, for example; The Science Vessel sounds like Mr. Burns from "The Simpsons" (1989). Also, other units say funny lines, for example; Science Vessel: "Ship? Out of danger?" Once quoted by Spock in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982).

Quotes:

[Kerrigan is explaining her Ghost training]
Lt. Sarah Kerrigan: You all know that the Confederates run a program for psychically gifted humans, training them to be Ghosts. Those running the program found that the Zerg are attuned to the psychic emanations of Ghosts.
Jim Raynor: So, the Zerg are here for you, darlin'? This keeps getting better and better...

What more would you want in an RTS?

Starcraft is a definite winner for one of the best RTS (real time strategy) games. Fantastic graphics and are put to scale; not like other try-hard games like Tiberian Sun (which I might add was released one year after yet it was worse!)

The storyline is fantastic, from the Zerg, to the Protoss and the Terran, it will keep you wanting to find out more as you complete missions. All units have at least three different sounds that are produced and the music is fantastic (eg. a different track for each race).
