I tried to cohesively write it together, but I guess it's hard to parse dramatic pause.Įarth and her partners in the Alliance of Free Stars.Īgainst the evil Ur-Quan and its Hierarchy of Battle Thralls. Welcome to the world (galaxy?) of Star Control 2.Īlso, as most of the screenshots are the same shot, but with changing text, I'm just gonna write what the game says in italics). Now that I've made you feel the weight of time, let's get to the nitty gritty nostalgia. And since Star Control 2 was the last game in the series, I repeat, the last game in the series, that's why you need to help Toys for Bob make that sequel. Why only Star Control 2? Well, Star Control 1, from what I recall, was pretty much just the space combat portion of Star Control 2. Ship combat is a bit of a learning curve as well, considering there's a slew of ships available, each with their own attacks and specials, some of which aren't that obvious. It's a hell of a curve and people hate redoing things, because you probably can't beat the game your first try (unless you FAQ it or something). Unfortunately, as enticing as this may seem, A) resources are technically finite until way way way later in the game, and B) there's an unspoken time limit in the game. You pretty much have to explore the galaxy on your own, find everything, and figure out what needs to get where. The other reasons this game isn't exactly the most popular is because it's not really linear and you're generally not given a direction. And, of course, being old means being forgotten about quite quickly, since us old fogeys have played the game to death and the new generation aren't really exposed to it because they haven't learned to listen to their damn elders. The graphics are very, very simple, but so are both Master of Orions, Civ 2, and a slew of other old school immortals. Why isn't this game more popular? Well, it's old, for one, and as such, it doesn't appeal to those whose measure of fun correlates to how much they're punishing their computers. My favorite picks are the Yehat theme and Quasispace, personally. You're also losing a layer of awesome by not listening to the music. The real strength of the game comes from the actual aliens, with some very well written (and oftentimes humorous) dialogue. Not that enticing, I know, but there's a lot more to it, as I'll show. The basic gist of the game is that you need to go around the galaxy, contact alien races, harvest minerals, and save the galaxy. If you are going to play it, I suggest looking away, because, well, it's a Let's Play thread. Yes, it's completely free, and completely awesome. The game was released as an open source project in 2002, and can be downloaded here. For most, it is considered an excellent, excellent game, combining aspects of the RPG (sorta), adventure, and action genres into one beautifully bound package. Enjoy.So with the semi-recent thread on the possibility of a Star Control sequel, I figured it would be prudent to show you guys exactly why this game deserves a sequel.įirst off, what's Star Control 2? For many, it is considered the pinnacle of gaming. Sneslive is the best place to play Super Nintendo games online.
