Favorite Star Control II Race

[blissfulnoise]

So what's your favorite Alien race from Star Control II?

I'm partial to the Spathi, but the Melnorme have a very interesting place in the series. The Slylandro are a very interesting concept and the Orz are just plain creepy.

Need to jog your memory of this excellent and genre defining game?

Supox and Taalo had to be left off. Too many poll options. Feel free to write in for them.

I love the Spathi. I can't think of the Melnorme without my brain automatically translating into "Mel Torme".

"We are Ur-Quan of Kher-Za. Now What's all this about assimilation?"

"What can I do for you... today?"



Well, it's time for my yearly rediving into this unbelivable game so I figured I'd rise this from the grave. I think it'll need a slight nudge over to classic computing.

Oh, and for those of you who haven't played it yet (for shame), please get it HERE.

It's totally legal and it's the 100% authentic game. You can even get the speech packs which are a near must to hear the Spathi flip out.

BUMP!

After playing the freeware SC2: The Ur-Quan Masters, I must say that I totally love this game and... well, almost all of the races therein. I'm casting my own personal vote for the Orz, however. What can I say, I love their screwed-up language. I can't help but love a race that deliberately has Engrish as a major quirk. Plus, their ships are totally ace with the ability to send out marines to board enemy ships and kill the crew within. That's just badass.

But I love 'em all... 'cept for the Mycons. They can plug the freaking Juffo-Wup up whatever orifice qualifies as their anus.

EDIT: WHAT THE HELL?!? Somehow, I already voted on this poll! And I haven't even played the game back then! Erm... umm... hmmmmm... maybe my vote was the other one for the Spathi. Back before I knew much about the game, I did at least know they were lovably cowardly eyeballs who were as goofy as they were adorable. Maybe that explains it... oh, damn. What are the odds, eh?
