I was just wondering, what were the early stages of StarCraft like during it's Alpha and Beta stages? How many of you have actually played one of them? and, if it's not illegal (which I am hoping) is there a possibility that I would be able to get a client for one of them (or the alternative, a MOD)?

None.

Zerg looked like this.

I'm waiting for a LoL game to start, so I'll search a little harder than googling "starcraft 1 beta" in about 45 minutes.

Woops, the pic above, according to wikipedia, is an early Alpha screenie. Mah bad.

More Alpha stuff

As for the Beta stuffs, found a page devoted to such: http://starcraft.incgamers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=534

Honestly, google could've easily solved this for you.

wow, starcraft beta had better sprites. I mean, the acout when it turns actually tilts (unlike today's starcraft) and the zerg buildings are WAY cooler... I wish they had kept more of it

None.

I'm glad they added transparency. This pixelated pseudo-transparency looked ugly. It was a real novelty back then so I really loved it (and still do) and is even more impressive considering StarCraft is only 256 colors.

The old terran advisor is still in the data. He's the guy with no animated portrait and a green eye. I think he was a vulture in the old versions of SC before brood war.

I really should test and see if I can get him to work again, because I KNOW I saw him...

I honestly wonder how any StarCraft player could make it this long (2010) without seeing the linked webpage.

I saw that when I was around 10. Or something. Really young, anywho, and many more years ago.

It's from BW Beta. Someone please tell me those tiles under the bridge are gone, because I don't remember seeing them ever.

Now, what about an alpha/beta client? I would really like to feel what it was like, is it possible to get one? If not, what about a MOD of it?
P.S.: I also like how the ships would actually LAND before picking up or dropping off (a) unit(s)

None.

There are mods, I know that much. Searching for a beta download.

For now, though, I found this, and it made me laugh.

And now I'm heading to 4chan's /r/. I hope you're happy.

EDIT: 2 hours, and 4chan does not produce. Anyone with a bitorrent client that's willing to search? That's my last hope.
