I have starcraft and itll be playable on my mates donkey of a pc with windows 95. How do we play it at the same time, is there a way of full installing it just for net play off 1 cd or something??

I think (from memory) that Starcraft like Warcraft 2 could spawn LAN copies, IIRC it is a case of installing it in full on one machine which then doesn't need the CD for local network games, whilst you install it on another and that one has the CD and is the server for the game.

It's been ages since I played it though.

werewolf, a full install cant be selected i dont think. the install ive done is only 138mb

138mb for the time is a huge install.

Kreeee would be up for that, I would aswell although I have not played the game since I was about 10.

Going to be playing it on basically the first PC I played the game on aswell.
