People Stuck on Old StarCraft Screwed? Old Instructions Removed

I saw that the old instructions have been removed. What happens if someone wants to play an older version of the game?

There are plenty of things which can be done with the old versions of StarCraft, such as game hacks or AI making. Some versions of StarCraft also feature their own localizations which might not be available on Battle Net.

I think ideally the best and easiest solution should be provided and that duplicate solutions should be avoided in most cases, but I think that some of these solutions should be documented, even if some are worse.

I'm not really complaining as I don't really care but I just felt like mentioning it.

Now that it's free and there's basically no reason to stick to the old patches, I believe it is best not to maintain old workarounds and fixes.

I disagree. I liked playing the original game with patches that gave me a much bigger view of the map. The remaster doesn't give me that.

Agreed, as there is a growing retro enthusiast market - there needs to be preservation of these old workarounds in case one needs to use the original executables.

By that logic, all games that have been "remastered" should not use their original game's pages - which so far hasn't happened except here.
