Sc1=bad game
Sc1 isn't necessary to understand Sc2.because it has no real plot. u just need to know who are the hierachy and the alliance

SC1 = Good.
Yeah, it's a bit slower than sc2 (not that much slower, but a bit) but it was made to run on 8086x machines. SC2 was optimized for a 286 IIRC.
In-melee GFX for SC2 were ripped directly from SC1, so excepting the new ships those graphics should be exactly the same.
Hmm, maybe XP is making your game run so choppy. Try using dosbox (look for it in sourceforge) and see if that doesn't make a difference.
And fall in love with the stragety game. The 3-d map takes a bit to master, but once you do you feel like the bomb.

my solution to playing SC1 in Windows XP with full sound, was to download a Sega Genesis emulater and the SC1 rom.

. Someone had even included a cracked exe file so I didn't have to answer the copy protection guys questions (by the way the original exe file was there and I tried to answer his questions using your list of answers but whenever I typed in the answer you had listed to his question he said it was wrong. Also the alien jibberish part of his question commonly was different than what you had listed.). Anyway the question I had was; is the meele supposed to be that slow? If I had to estimate the frame rate I'd say it was between 1 and 3 a second 
.The gfx are good (infact they seem better than sc2 
How do I get sc3 to work right on a windows xp computer? The program starts up fine and apperantly accepts mouse commands but the display is all couropeted with the gfx streached out and broken up into little peices that are strewn around the screen. I don't think the program is frozen because by clicking randomly around the screen I found that if you click in the bottom right hand corner the program shuts down (rather a good thing I found that out because closing the program any other way crashes my computer to a blue screen of death). I tried dosbox on it but it just crashes right away. Any help would be appreaceated!
Well perhaps not fine (no sound and this "version" I'm using has no anamation in the conversation screens).
