We were thinking of playing some good old fashioned Star Control 1. I really don't think enough nice things can be said about that game. SC2 is one of the all-time greats, but it overshadows the original so much that poor old SC1 barely gets a mention. I think it's every bit as good, though I usually think of it a completely different game type.

I know the original SC1 is available as a bundle on GOG with Star Control 2, but is there anyone doing for SC1 what the Ur-Quan Masters is doing for SC2?

[Cthulhu-chan]

Shit son, last time I played Star Control was on a friend's Amiga 500.  I wasn't even aware off-hand that a PC version existed, although I do recall cross-platform releases were fairly common back then.

Also, isn't the Melee mode in SC2 basically SC with more ships?

edit:  on that note, I find myself hankering for some Star Command every so often.  I wonder if it's just nostalgia...

[Mongrel]

Yeah, the melee mode is just the same as SC2 only without half the ships, but the game structure was such a neat little thing to graft that on to. It was a perfect match.

Man, when was the last game made that you could play two people on one keyboard/computer anyway?

Hey, uh, stupid question, but does anybody want to play some super-melee? Not right this second, but you know, sometime? (The version I have the most current iteration of The Ur-Quan Masters)
