It ran on Mac OS in the late 1990s, shortly after it was released for Windows.

What's changed here (for osx atleast) is that there's an Intel build. There was starcraft for MacOS (or 'classic'), and then a carbonized starcraft for OSX-ppc. But ppc support ended in 10.6, and this is the first time there's been a mac-intel build.

It ran on Mac OS, but never on macOS!

compatibility broke several years ago, until today.
