    Post Stardock Tried To Make Star Control, Master of Orion Sequels [Slashdot]

    Gamasutra reports on comments from Stardock CEO Brad Wardell in which he described his efforts to revive two old but popular franchises: Star Control and Master of Orion. Quoting: "'I actually pitched Atari on a whole idea for a true successor to Star Control,' [he said], noting that the game would follow original series developer Toys for Bob's Star Control II rather than the Legend Entertainment-developed Star Control 3 ('We just pretend that never happened,' the CEO says of that release). ... Novato, California-based Toys for Bob has actually floated the idea of making its own Star Control II sequel, with co-creator Paul Reiche III indicating he has tossed potential design ideas around, but with the company now owned by publisher Activision the proposal seems to be stuck in limbo."

    Seems like whatever game franchise I fell in love with back in the day gets porked now a days. Star Control is one of them.

    Damn. A real quality successor to Star Control 2 would be an INSTANT buy for me. Seriously. Even if it was $200 at release. IMO the closest we've come is Mass Effect.
