Feel like messing around with these great StarCraft portrait animations yourself? Animations are split into 'idle' and 'talk' Photoshop CS3 files and further divided into groups according to its unique sub-animation (like the Medic's flirtatious wink). Also included are all 'glue' animations found elsewhere in the StarCraft and Brood War games.

Sure, you could download most of these sound files individually from the other pages, but that would be collosal waste of your time. Click the link below to download all Terran, Zerg and Protoss (including original StarCraft and Brood War) WAV files.
As one of the first truly global esports, StarCraft I set the bar for what competitive gaming could and should be. In short, it’s a classic. But while it is an example of gaming at its finest, let’s not forget it also featured some great tunes.
Starcraft Zerg Sounds Games
StarCraft I was a Sci-Fi Western at heart, featuring three distinct playable alien races. The challenge was to create music that suited each race, whilst also matching the tempo and feel of the game play. That’s a tough mix. The fact that Blizzard got this sound track so spot on is a great testament to their creative team. Each track really catches the essence of the race it’s attributed to (Terran and Zerg tracks are best).
The Protoss (think technologically advanced) tracks feature long drawn out chords, giving that other worldly ethereal sound.
The Terran (Human) tracks by contrast feature a whole lot of slide guitar and catchy riffs. The country feel to each song plays really well into the essence of the race.
The Zerg (think Ridley Scott’s Alien) tracks are much heavier with a more metal twang. The use of keyboards provides an electronic sound that subsequently feels a lot more, well, alien.
I will concede that this sound track is a guilty pleasure. I’m sure 13 year old me didn’t think once about the music while schooling fools on the battlefield. But clearly I did listen, because I know these songs back to front.
