Small clarity on the attack move piece. Attack move is actually present in og StarCraft (In all my years playing the OG game I never used it LOL. But to clarity I think it's more effective on the N64 version) Apolgies for the slight confusion).
Interesting video.
One note: in PC version player can attack-move - either by clicking the 'Attack' button on command card and left-clicking on the minimap or terrain, or by pressing the shortcut key for 'Attack' action (default: A) and left-clicking on the minimap or terrain. These functions were available since Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, and even in some earlier RTSs for PC, like Dune II.
I find when you use this on the PC version the units move to position first and then attack. In the N64 version they attack immediately after an enemy becomes visible. This does not feel the same as the PC version> I always find myself having to manually tell the units to attack specific units. Units in the PC version will attack when idle to note
@@Heaaaps I see - PC version really tends to have that feeling. Probably it has better coding on N64 version.
@@RandomizerYevhen It's actually harder to explain unless physically playing the game. It only takes one click to move and attack automatically on n64 version if this makes better sense
Yeah. Hold position works better for shooting on the move with vultures than Attack.
Attack move works the same way on PC. You press A before the move command.

Love the video. One thing you didn't really touch on that only adds to the pedigree of this port is that there's 2-player split-screen multiplayer mode that actually manages to give the feel of a 1v1 PC match, just on a bit of a smaller (and slower) scale.
I'd love to be able to try the multiplayer. It's truelly a technical marvel to think that the multiplayer exists in this way also! Thanks for watching ☘️
If you hold down Z you can pan the camera faster and if you hold Z and R at the same time you can bring up the global builld menu, you can also assign control groups with R and C buttons and use them with Z and C buttons
@arker1974 good tips!
Really impressive thanks for sharing big thumb for you my friend stay connected and keep up the great work.
Thanks!
Looks great to be fair, nice video man I'm still hopeful to scope out StarCraft when my nostalgia for Command an Conquer kicks in & the mood strikes to delve back into that genre.🌠🍀🖖
Classicnl RTS games m8 can't bate them!
Hey me bro. Fantastic watch and really does sell me the N64 version of this classic. Shocked at how accurate and well it runs too. Superb mate and cheers for this one ☕👍🏴😀
Thanks for the feedback buddy it's appreciated
Wish the cart wasn't super expensive, leading to emulation or heck even Nintendo Switch Online with online multiplayer [though of course the expansion and servers are not without issues]. I have been noticing more in recent years [especially around the showcase creation] how good 64 actually is, it's not that bad of a Starcraft re-release.
Bringing this Nintendo online would be amazing. Problem is I suspect a publishing issue between blizzard Microsoft and Nintendo
I played this version emulated on my phone when I was in hospital it was pretty hard without a controller but I thought it’s pretty crazy they managed to pull this game off on the N64. The controller has alway been a bit of an odd ball but it does shine every now and again.
Well said! Yea it's pretty insane how this managed to be out on an n64 cart! Thanks for watching 👍
This looks fantastic mate. I've never played the original but as a huge fan of N64 it's even crazier that I've never played the 64 version. Need to give this one a go today!
Be watchful of OG carts are they are stupid expensive as I said the best way is repro or emulation currently, thanks for support 💚
"Somebody call for an exterminator" is forever burned into my mind.
It does have brood wars! I've stated this near the start of the video. All 6 campaigns are just included!
@Heaaaps O Games You're right! My bad.
@@jugularSignal no worries
I've never played this version. Will have to check it out. Always more of a command and conquer man!
C&C series always a classic m8 but Starcraft is amazing too!
Dude I’ve always wondered about the n64 version of this game. It seems like a legit port. It’s a really expensive title but if I ever find it I’ll scoop it up. Thanks for doing this! I wonder though what the multiplayer is like on the n64 or if it even exists ?
The multiplayer is also a technical marvel. Spiltscreen coop or vs and also no limitations to until count. You need the n64 expansion pack but understandable why! Thanks for watching bud 👍
Absolutely mental they got that amount of mission in the cart 🔥 shame the dialogue audio wasn’t included for the mission briefings but as you say least the in game voices are present.
Great to hear the controls are good too 👌
Really must try this at some point! Awesome vid mate 👏👍
Thanks another m8, yea I mean another incredible port alongside RE2 for the n64. Great what can be done if devs put in the effort
Say what you want about the N64 - and it's abysmal controller - but some of these ports were mighty impressive. Excellent comparison video mate!
Thank you! Yeah I mean there are only a bunch of games I love on the console and this is one of them!
5:49 I'm pretty sure Attack Move did always exist in Starcraft, and I think it's been the same since the first Warcraft. A + left click. I don't think there's an option to make right click attack move by default, though.
Hi there, just a note as per below comment: I find when you use this on the PC version the units move to position first and then attack. In the N64 version they attack immediately after an enemy becomes visible. This does not feel the same as the PC version - I always find myself having to manually tell the units to attack specific units. Units in the PC version will attack when idle to note. It also requires an additional click. In the N64 version you literally select units and use the B button, click on a location and they will automatically move and attack
if you hold the L1 button and push any direction on the d pad it will save that location and all you have to do is push that d pad direction and instantely jump to it. also if you select a group of unit and press R1 and any of the yellow arrows then you can press the trigger button and that same yellow arrow to use or jump to that group of units for a total of four map hot keys and 4 group hot keys. thanks for the vid. im playing it now. its my favorite n 64 game I own.
Great advice! Il pin this post for others 👍
Huge fan of rts games, not played starcraft but it looks right up my street.
Hard get console ports of RTS right but this one is on point m8. Recommend repro only though. OG is stupidly priced
Warzone 2100 on PS1 was fun too.
Its a brilliant port, very impressive, I bet it cost a fortune for a mint in box N64 copy
Stupid money m8. Second hand market is a joke at the moment 🙄
@@Heaaaps it really is terrible
As if they used a Saddam lookalike for the advert. Great video mate and interesting game.
I love the classic adverts of yesteryear! Thanks for watching buddy 💚👍
Love it. Great video dude, seriously very well done. The command and conquer handles like shite on the N64 so it's good to hear they are easier with this one. Looking now on ebay lol
Dude get repro man, the real copy is a stupid price unfortunately. Thanks so much for the feedback
Fantastic video 👍 sadly game is quite expensive, especially in EU…
Really appreciate the feedback. Best way to play this is via repro or via ED64+
Ok…ok I’ll give Nintendo and Blizzard credit here. Pretty impressive that they fit an entire game and expansion on a cart! That truly is impressive! Now I still wouldn’t wanna play with the standard controller but the N64 mouse or maybe the retro fighter brawler N64 controller would work well! Definitely be on the lookout for this one now brother! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Always appreciate them 🤘🍀
No problem my man yea I mean Deffo consider alternate control methods too. Suppose I wanted to speak from the designers perspective. Interesting to know if the n64 mouse works I must look into that!! 💚☘️👍
@@Heaaaps According the sources I found online, it is compatible! Score! 🤘
@@SEGAblocks oh wow thats so cool!
It's a very impressive port, and would have been amazing to play back in the day! Compared with games like Dune 2 on the MegaDrive / Genesis, you can really see how much extra power the N64 brought to the game engine.
Nice comparison video! Anything about StarCraft is always worth a watch 😀
Thanks buddy yea very impressive, all things considered. Dune 2 there's one I haven't heard in a long time!!
I knew that StarCraft 64 was an excellent port, but I hadn't realized that it was an RE2-level port! Do you know who did the porting duties for this? I'm almost certain it wasn't Blizzard itself.
Also, just as someone who has recorded N64 footage in the past, I am really curious how you're capturing this footage! I've gone through a couple different N64 HDMI cords and had to use an emulator in one instance (in my defense, it was for a pre-release build of a game), so I was wondering what you used.
I mentioned in the video it was ported by a team called Mass Media. This was captured using S-Video from the N64 and then with S-Video to HDMI out. Pal region consoles best method of video output besides a full on HDMI mod
@@Heaaaps Derp, I missed that mention. My bad!
@@MakopoweredGaming no problem
They should have put a little Elf, or dare I say a Leprechaun, into the cart to read out the dialogue. I dunno. The attack move on the 64 sounds like cheesing it 😉
So the 64bit console can't do 32bit sound, shocking 😂
Lol #usethecheese. In fairness if high quality sound was included I'd suspect you would be playing the game in text format 🤣
I played the pc game sooo much in 2007. I like the zerg best because I'm edgy and gross
Haha edgy and gross 🤣
Ypu put a lot of effort and energy into many things but that's not gonna stop me being an arsehole...
Hahaha I will take that as a compliment 🤣☘️💚
@@Heaaaps since I said nothing else, you might as well
