Thanks for the remake!
I am trying to run this on MacOS Catalina 10.15 and it’s working!
Works on catalina 10.15 BUT you need to right click – show package content – MacOS then open the app terminal, type chmod +x (and drag the starcraftsetup here) then press enter
Totally agree with your take! I’ve been playing StarCraft: Remastered on my Mac mini, and it’s been a blast. The performance is rock-solid, and I love how Blizzard kept the soul of the original intact while giving it a fresh coat of paint.
The cinematics still give me chills, and the fact that it runs natively on macOS without any weird workarounds is a huge plus. I’ve even roped a few friends into playing again—LAN parties may be a thing of the past, but the thrill of a Zerg rush is eternal.
Thanks for the post—it reminded me why I fell in love with this game in the first place.
