For those who loved the old PC game Star Control II, it is available for DL now for Windows 98/XP as shareware. It has updated graphics and music which is an added plus as well.

Enjoy!

Tried it, good game, no compulsion to keep playing was ever induced though. I liked the strategy and grand strategy aspects, the map was confusing.

For Single player games, what I want is a 21st century rendition of Masters of Magic.

For MMONRPGs what I would like to see is a MMON version of the wonderfuly steampunk game Arcanum.

You arrre thinking of Star Control 1. Star Con 1 was a strategy game and Star Con 2 was sort of an arcade/RPG game.

Also... Star Control 2 is one of the funniest games to date. The only thing that rates up with it is the Monkey Island series of video games.

I played Star Control in high school! I never uh... "found" a copy of SC2. OMG, I am going to play this right now!

I loved SC2! Fwiffo of the Spathi was the best.

Haha classic.

Oh HELL yes. I'd be all over that if it came to pass. MoM is my favorite turn based, evar.

Wow, now I only miss remakes of 'UFO: Enemy Unknown', 'Syndicate', 'Deathtrack' and a few other oldies that I don't remember right now....

The orignal was mostly a repaint over the same engine as Masters of Orion. There have been two new versions of Masters of Orion without a MoM remake. The fan site gives me little hope that I will see a new MoM, but that is better than the none I had till now.

Thanks.
