You can head to Blizzard's website to see some of the details of the patch, and also to download the game for your platform of choice. I am currently installing the game on my Mac as I write up this post.

If you want a slightly newer version of the StarCraft you know and love, this summer will see the release StarCraft Remastered. For more on that game, head here.
