Had you played the original Starcraft or similar games?

Yes, the original SC, as well as Warcraft 2+3, and a mix of other (mostly turn-based) strategy games.

Do you think that the original SC helps as much? You have to do a lot of "clickfesting" in SC1, which you're spared from doing in SC2. Which means much more thinking in SC2. Wow.

I don't know. I never cared to get good at SC. With SC2 I actually practiced and tried to get better. But your intuition makes sense to me, and I want to agree.
