That's pretty much it. My Intel Atom tablet chews through this game easily. You probably could run the game on a literal potato powered pc.

If you download the Starcraft 2 game (FREE starter edition from Blizzard website) then you can play all the games in the Starcraft Arcade (its Free to play).   https://us.battle.net/account/download/?show=sc2 

 

There are REMAKEs of several Warcraft games there (in the starcraft 2 arcade that is).

 

Search "War3" in the arcade Browse area.

Anything. Literally anything. Warcraft 3 could probably be run on something on the order of a Raspberry Pi in terms of power.

 

Just a note though, if you buy that Starcraft battle chest you should know that it only has Starcraft 1 with the expansion Brood War. Still a good game, but not Starcraft 2.

Oh, a whole 10 years? Warcraft III was the last Warcraft RTS Blizzard made, and it released 15 years ago.

 

You said Starcraft 2, but then linked a photo of Starcraft 1 (the one from 1998). Starcraft 1 is a classic and certainly a good game to buy, but just be sure you're buying what you meant to buy. If you want Starcraft 2, that's sold as separate campaigns: Wings of Liberty, Heart of the Swarm, and Legacy of the Void.

StarCraft launched in 1998 and ran on Win9X system (95, 98/SE) & NT4, but was still playable on NT5.* systems (Win2000 & XP). It is playable on NT 6.* systems (Vista onwards) with the caveat that you tend to need to run it in Compatibility Mode if installed from CD and be prepared to play at (hard-coded) 640x480 Fullscreen with no method of going into a windowed mode or resizing.

StarCraft: Brood Wars launched in 1999 as the expansion to StarCraft and has the same limitations as the base game (so easiest way to play SC/BW would be building a Win 2K or XP Virtual Machine in VirtualBox and installing the game there so you don't have to worry about it messing around with your normal desktop and stuff).

 

WarCraft 3 (2002)/Frozen Throne (2003) is slightly better in being originally made for 98/2K/XP systems, it had selectable resolutions (since 800x600 & 1024x768 were more common at time of its launch) and still works well enough on NT6.* systems in order to install it and apply the updates (from Blizzard's site directly) to make it compatible with higher resolutions like 1920x1080 & 2560x1440.

 

In addition to that, getting the Battle Chests for SC/BW & WC3/FT gives you not only the game but also physical goodies in the form of Officially Licensed Strategy Guides in the chest, such items are SORELY lacking from more modern games of the past 10-15 years, so if you're having a problem with a mission you can pause the game and read the Guides about how the mission is meant to play out... or look up the DevCodes ("cheat codes") to give you that leg up on the AI... such guides were kinda needed in the days before GameFAQs and the like.

Something to look into for WC3 is the player made content. You'll have over a decade worth of campaigns and maps to play through. People are still making stuff for it to this day.
