Welcome the new 12 step pyramid of Nutrition. As compared to a torture pyramid.
The Real Time Strategy Carnage page brings us back to memory lane with the their page dedicated to Starcraft. The Wang remember hooking up token ring networks playing Starcraft alla 90mhz computers. Where co-axial cables needed end heads just to stop the token ring. Networking on Win95 is as fun as milking a bull. But the Wang loved it. Hours and Hours of Starcratf, with fellow Wangees would last until someone was to weak and ashamed of defeat to carry on. Its nice to see games like this can stand the test of time and carry on. Maybe this is one of those classics that u can bring out for ur kids to show them what it was like back in the days when u have to use ur hands.
