Have you ever been part of a beta game test? If you were lucky, you participated in the StarCraft Battle.net beta back in 1997 - a multiplayer version of StarCraft.
In today's video, I will try to setup this unfinished version using a private battle.net server, modify a file of StarCraft, and play each race to see what was not yet complete.
