"Star Control 2" is one of the best games ever made. It is a game that has never gotten old for me. It is a story-driven, combat-laden, resource-gathering, adult-humored sci-fi romp to save the Human race. Roam the galaxy contacting diverse alien races, explore thousands of planets, and build up your armada for the final showdown with the Ur-Quan, enslavers of humanity.

I don't care if you play it with a strategy guide (in fact, I recommend it!), just play it.
A word of caution: this game is seriously retro. In the XP version, you can't use a mouse. It's all keyboard. No matter. The music and writing are stellar, and the graphics are fun, if dated.
Find out more here, here, and here. According to the Wiki, there is even a homebrew Wii version of this, that's how awesome it is!
Ever play "Star Control 2"? Do you remember the old copy protection it came with? Sound off in the comments!

Great game.
ReplyDeleteApparently the map that came in the original box is very helpful for figuring out where to go at a few points in the game. Had some trouble finding them. I believe this is a link to a version of them: http://www.highprogrammer.com/alan/games/video/uqm/index.html
Thanks, Anon. Those maps are VERY helpful. I was actually digging around in my basement this weekend and found a ginormous map and the original walkthrough that my dad got back in the early 90s. Good times!
