Reddit reviews StarCraft Battle Chest - PC/Mac

It's starcraft, not HL.

You could find a milliion yeah, but one guaranteed to be unique, not detected for hacking, activatible on battle.net so you can add it to your account, and won't have random other people logging in is not so easy.

Basically $20.

The cat is kind of out of the bag for the OP though, he probably should have edited the post before deleting at the very least.

Only this would suffice.

That, plus I think this is the lowest these ones are gonna go (even with a bundle). I mean the starcraft 1 battle chest I picked up 14 years ago for $20 is still the same price

Some of my favorites...

• The Baldur's Gate series by BioWare and its spin-offs built on the same engine. You can get them all in a $20 DVD-ROM here. An early precursor to Dragon Age.
  
  
• Neverwinter Nights is the next step from Baldur's Gate, before Dragon Age. Amazon has a cheap box set with all sequels and expansions.
  
  
• Fallout 1,2 and Tactics... they're not FPS like Fallout 3 but rather top-down RPGs like Baldur's Gate. Again, Amazon has a cheap box set (just make sure you don't buy the censored European version).
  
  
• Diablo II and its expansion. Get the Diablo Battle Chest to play it along with Diablo 1. The upcoming Diablo III plays a lot like the originals, so D2 will get you prepped. TorchLight is also a similar game, developed by some ex-Blizzard people I blieve.
  
  
• Of course there's Warcraft (not the MMO World of Warcraft) and StarCraft to get you into real-time strategy games. There are Battle Chests (box sets with expansions) for WarCraft III and Starcraft 1. StarCraft II is also out but it's not complete yet. (A Battle Chest for Warcrafts 1 and 2 also exists but it's out of print and expensive now.)
  
  
• All Most of the Sim games (SimCity, its sequels and its sister games like SimTower). Avoid most of the post-EA Sim games like The Sims, SimCity Societies and Spore. There are good non-Maxis, SimCity-inspired games like Cities XL and Tropico. Worth checking out sincee the "real" Sim series has gone to shit lately.
  
  
• If you want to get into MMORPGs, World of Warcraft (WoW) is the king for a reason. You can play it, and its copycat Rift, for free up until level 20. Star Wars: The Old Republic is a SW-themed WoW copycat, that plays nothing like the original BioWare Knights of the Old Republic games. Guild Wars is also a favorite... developed by ex-Blizzard peeps, you buy the game retail but don't pay a monthly fee. There's a number of other free-to-play MMOs out there, but they're mostly crap. Also, some pay MMOs are crap, too.
  
  
• Many western RPGs developed for PS3 and 360 play better on the PC (meaning, with higher graphic capabilities and a mod community), including: Dragon Age Origins and 2, Mass Effect series, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim. There's also PC ports of Fable and Jade Empire. You can usually connect a USB Xbox 360 controller if you want gamepad controls.
  
  Good Old Games and Steam are good resources for finding PC classics on the cheap as well as being patched to work on modern PCs (Windows 7 64-bit).

Starcraft. Get Starcraft Battle Chest from Amazon or Blizzard. You can make spawn copies, so you need only 1 disc.

Blizzard is notorious for this. Their games will occasionally be 50% off, but anything akin to Steam Sale prices are unheard of.

Warcraft 3 $20 (2002)

Diablo 2 $15 (2000)

Starcraft $19 (1998)

Link for StarCraft Battle Chest - $10

If you don't have Diablo, this is the way to go. Got it myself a few years ago, and it was well worth it. Got it along with this and this.

The original release I have of Diablo is pc + mac. So are my copies of Diablo II and StarCraft. I can't think of anything specifically that they sell seperate boxes for.

K mart is your next best option, or maybe even a local small PC shop if you're lucky enough to still have one.

$20 on Prime is a lot though, but if all else fails...

Wrong subreddit, but the Starcraft Battle chest which contains Starcraft, Broodwar and a strategy guide for each, is only $9.99.

Under $4, you can download the media from blizz.

If you must have media:
