details

• The game's Easter Egg also consists of some secret voices on some units, for example; The Science Vessel sounds like Mr. Burns from "The Simpsons" (1989). Also, other units say funny lines, for example; Science Vessel: "Ship? Out of danger?" Once quoted by Spock in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan (1982).
  
  
• The Zerg facial structure is derived from dental x-ray scans of human skulls.
  
  
• The Reavers may have been based on Hayao Miyazaki's, Kaze no tani no Naushika (1984), thus his credit at the end of the game.
  
  

• When you click on the drop-ship unit, all of its responses are from the movie Aliens (1986) except for the phrase, "Would you like fries with that?" spoken by the drop-ship pilot.
  
  
• The hero for Terran's firebat is named "Gui Montag". This is a reference to Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 (1966), in which the main character, who is a fireman, is called "Guy Montag."
  
  
• The Goliath hero, Allen Schezar, is named after a 'Guymelef' (mecha) pilot from the anime "Tenkû no Esukafurône" (1996).
  
  
• Starcraft first made use of the word "pwned", which is popular with Internet users. It came about when a map designer misspelled the word. Then the game was published with the error. When a player had been beaten, the message "______ has been pwned" appeared. This was corrected using patches but remained in the vocabulary of '1337' or 'leet' speakers.
