Nintendo Magazine, very old edition (not sure which one, I already sold it).
A guy was saying that Starcraft 64 is the best game ever and if it existed for PC he would buy it.
LOL, fact is, that Starcraft was released for computer since 1995, I'm not very sure about N64 release date but I assure you it was after it was released for PC, did Nintendo 64 even existed in 1995?

N64 was released on the year 1996. After a little investigation I found this info:
--------------------------------------------------
StarCraft (SC) is a real-time strategy computer game produced by Blizzard Entertainment in 1998. The game is similar to Blizzard's previous hit Warcraft II, except that it has a space opera setting as opposed to a high fantasy setting. The game was immensely successful: it was estimated by Blizzard in 2004 that 8 million copies of StarCraft had been sold since its release[1]. During the development process, there were great efforts to steer the game away from being simply "Warcraft in Space", and eventually the entire game engine had to be rewritten to allow the developers to achieve the desired result.
------------------------------------------------------------
So this means that Starcraft was released on 1998, but I'm sure the PC version was out first.

1998? oh well I just published a mistake, and I was making fun of that guy... still, it was made for PC, it's high success was the reason it got into Nintendo 64, but as I understand, it didn't got very popular on Nintendo 64, it is actually better on PC, thanks to the new versions and the multiplayer, which is far superior than N64.
