Two French dudes with a love for Blizzard’s classic RTS StarCraft have decided to recreate a homebrew version of the game on the Nintendo DS, naming it StarLite.

“StarDev”, as they call themselves, have just completed the first workable build of the game, which allows you to create units and build buildings. It also features the ability to “fight for small marine red” – I don’t know what that means, but I also don’t speak French as well as Google does.

StarDev is still working on fixing bugs and generally making the game more complete, and even you can help them out! They are currently looking to hire two or three new programmers to speed things along.

You can download a free copy of StarLite by clicking here. The file can then be run on a DS emulator.

Significantly more expensive than StarDev’s version

You can also get in touch with StarDev by sending an e-mail to Mike at mike_the_rash AT hotmail DOT com, though I don’t know if he will understand your crazy English words.
