starcraft

[Tyler Aviss]

Had good luck getting most games running under Cedega, including
Warcraft III etc. Starcraft is listed as being fully compatible as
well.

Just for kicks, I'll see if I can dig up my old Starcraft and
Broodwars CD and get them running on normal Wine after work today. The
only issue should be the copy protection (which is about the biggest
advantage Cedega has over Wine) but if you can crack the .EXE with a
noCD had or whatever, it should work just fine.
