 | | StarCraft improved upon its predecessor Warcraft II, which featured two very similar playable factions, by incorporating three races, Protoss, Terran, and Zerg and giving each race unique units and technologies, such as to create an important asymmetry between the three. |
 | | The origin of this unusually high level of popularity is likely a combination of Starcraft's suitability for competitive multiplayer and the fact that it was released during the beginning of the boom in popularity of "gaming cafes" in South Korea, resulting in a perfect opportunity for the game to catch on. |
 | | StarCraft even became an inspiration for the creation of official novels and eBooks (which were generally not especially well-received by fans). |
