How to Play "Starcraft" Without a Disc
"Starcraft" is a fast-paced real-time strategy game. A few years after the game's release, Blizzard removed the disc requirement from the game via a patch, allowing you to play the game in single-player and multiplayer modes without the CD. The experience does not change without the disc, but removing the requirement makes playing the game more convenient and allows you to prevent the CD from getting scratched and worn.
