If you like Science Fiction, look no further. You can't possibly go wrong with these two addictive Sci-Fi games, each with a cult following of its own.

First, there was [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/star_control_1_2]Star Control, a turn-based strategy game with an addictive real-time arcade combat mode called Mêlée. This was essentially a relatively close-quarters duel between two spaceships. The most impressive thing about this mode, and the game in general, was that, somehow, the game's creators managed to make the dozen or so race-specific ship types completely different from each other, yet at the same time balanced.

Star Control 2 added even more races and ships to the fray, while retaining balance in the Mêlée mode, but changed the underlying gameplay considerably. The sequel was turned into more of a space-faring adventure game, with quests, diplomacy and character progression in the form of ship upgrades. The gameplay is as addictive as ever and the storyline is both good and believable, with tons of memorable characters, races and humor that will make you go back to this game again and again.
Somehow I never heard of that game before... Surely I will check it, as soon as I buy it, which will be... Well, that's the problem :-) I am expecting major financial commitment in next few weeks, which will leave me without any cash.
Alone in the dark made me affraid of the dark, Desperados made me ride with outlaws... what was the catchphrase used for Star Control again?

If I wanted to put more effort into my post than just copy/pasting thelink into the box I would have. I meant to do exactly the way I did.

Back on topic, this release still seems a bit weak besides Starcon 2 (uqm) being free and open source, even adding Starcon 3 into the mix would do little to improve the bundle. Never ind that it's already "free" on every abandonware site on the net.

You meant to intentionally make a broken link? because clicking on it causes this page to reload instead of opening the correct page. You can, however, copy paste the link into the address bar on your browser and it will work.

Anyways, the UQM is the best way to play UQM right now. You even get the HQ2x filter to VASTLY improve the graphics quality. You should use, when given a choice, the UQM remixes first, if not available, use the PC version over the 3do version stuff.
