It was one of the first RTS games I enjoyed. The sides were pretty well balanced (by luck more than judgement I expect), while remaining very different to play. This probably explains its multiplayer success. It also had the Blizzard flair, which made the single player game brilliant. The cutscenes were fantastic (someone post a YouTube link to the Battle on the Amerigo please), and the game had a lot of character and humour.
After C&C and its many clones Starcraft was a renaissance.

Dunno about the first RTS game I enjoyed, because Warcraft 2 and Age of Empires pre-dated Starcraft (especially AoE, which was aces), but Starcraft was pretty fun - and apparently it's still quite widely-played in some circles, which is impressive in itself.
