* No items, activatable or otherwise. Replaced by various mutually exclusive perks chosen at level-ups (that are hard-set for each match after being chosen) that cause significant changes similar to usual item purchases in other MOBAs.
* No last hitting because there's no gold to purchase anything with.
* Experience is team-wide rather than per character.
* No wards.

StarCraft  Blizzard Entertainment1998In the distant future, the newly formed Terran Dominion faces the arrival of two hostile alien races: the savage Zerg and the enigmatic Protoss. Gather resources and expand your forces to lead them to victory. The only allies are enemies. The only choice is war.***For 1-8 players, with teams or in FFA. Cross-platform play with Mac.***Latest version: 1.16 (as of 2008-11-27)***An incredible RTS that requires both brains and speed. Not trackball- or trackpad-friendly. Though the graphics are rather primitive by today's standards, that's only because this game is relatively old.

It features three different playable races, each of which requires different strategies for maximum effectiveness. Play as the versatile Terran colonists, the voracious Zerg xenomorphs, or the enigmatic, psionically gifted Protoss (my personal favorite).

The game also includes a map editing program for the unique SCM and SCX map format, enabling a patient user to craft new maps and scenarios. Some of the features take some getting used to, but FAQs are available at [[link:http://www.blizzard.com/starcraft]].

The screenshot at right is from the first mission in the expansion, StarCraft: Brood War.
[StarSword]***EXCELLENT realtime strategy game.***This is a very good game and requires a lot of skill, but also quickness. The expansion (Starcraft: Brood War) brings a lot more into the game.
[Groovy_Duck]***Four expansions released in 1998:
StarCraft: Stellar Forces ([[company:Micro Star]])
StarCraft: Retribution ([[company:Stardock]] / [[company:WizardWorks]])
StarCraft: Insurrection ([[company:Aztech New Media]])
