  1. A title which has almost infinite replay value because every time you play it it’s a different game. Even if you repeatedly just play the same map over and over again the variety of things you can do and the impressive AI of the CPU opponents means that it’s never the same game twice.
  2. The huge number of levels available and the two-player split-screen mode -- slowdown ridden as it is -- make for an incredible amount of value.
  3. A very playable and engaging, if unattractive, port of the PC game that offers no surprises.
  4. Ultimately, I can only recommend "StarCraft64" to those of you that simply have no other alternative in playing the game.

    Unfortunately, this game is nowhere near as good as the PC version. It is harder to control, and it seems slower than the PC version. .
