Star Control II

[Sneak613]

Does anybody else remember playing this game? It was by Accolade. I remember playing this all the time back in the 90's. I even had some sort of cheat I recall giving me extra money and upgrading my ship. Good times.

I randomly thought of this game the other day for whatever reason...(after last playing it probably 15 years ago) Fond memories. Figured this would be a good spot to inquire about it, see if anybody else remembers it, or played it...

I apologize in advance if this has already been a topic.

Oh yes. I think I rented it when it came out and my mom and I were playing on the old front-projection Sony big screen. Never got into the "campaign" mode but played the PvP mode. Best memory was when we both picked Ur-Quan(?-the ones with the big ship that carried fighters) and both of us were sending ships at one another. All you heard was "launch figh...launch figh.....launch fight.....launch fighter." We were cracking up.

I do have it as part of my collection but every time I played it I didn't have fun. Eh...tastes change I guess.

AWESOME game. Played the crap out of PVP on the 3DO. Amazing, Deep, and hands town top game on the system. Holy Cow they need to remake this game.

I played that game to death. I think the first time through I ran into the time limit, which sucked. Finished it at some point on another play though, and later someone released a patch that took off the time limit, which was cool cause then you really had time to do everything.

Played a lot of the melee with a friend on the old Aptiva my family had, and I had one friend with a 3DO and played melee on that, too. I got pretty good. Loved the Earth Shuttle and the "bubble ship" (can't remember the name). These two were necessary for taking on the Ur-Quan ships, IMO.

There's a patch!!!??? Yeah, I spent hours just exploring the planets and then it kept telling me that I was losing contact with certain species (Kohr-Ah? were killing them). What a buzz kill. I could have done the exploration/mining thing all day long. I will definitely google that patch. Insanely sweet game except for the time limit. I play it on my phone now with Ur Quan Masters for Android.

Beat me to it. I see you posting all over the forums over there, too.

I've actually been playing Ur-Quan Masters for the first time since last week. Stopped at right about the end game due to the fact I've been pretty busy for a few days now, but I plan on getting back to it very soon. Easily one of the best exploration games and RPGs I've played, right up there with the Starflights.
