    My Life For Aiur! Playing Starcraft 1 in 2024

    I like to consider myself fairly good at video games. I can beat a From Software title with minimal controller smashing. I’ve finished one or two levels in Super Meat Boy. Baldur’s Gate 1 only killed me seventy-six times. I’ve even thrown hands with Mike Tyson in Punch Out a few times. I’m basically a…

Unsurprisingly, it was just as incredible this time around as when I first reviewed it three years ago (read that here if you’re curious). I even managed to beat it without getting my teeth kicked in repeatedly by every…
