Brood War Expansion
Brood War adds an additional story line, new missions, and new units to the game. Although it improves on the game, the core of StarCraft is left intact, making for easier patching and bug fixing. In most cases, a fix for StarCraft will also fix Brood War.
StarCraft Battle Chest
Battle Chest is a box set containing StarCraft and Brood War, as well as official strategy guides for both games.
