About Star Control I and II

✦ AI summary

Take command of the Vindicator and explore a vast universe filled with bizarre alien races, mysterious technologies, and epic space battles across two legendary sci-fi adventures. This influential classic pioneered exploration and upgrade mechanics that defined the genre, packed with pulse-pounding action, side-splitting humor, and unforgettable characters.

The classic action adventure game Star Control II is here. Take command of the Vindicator, a prototype ship with endless upgrade potential. Discover new stars, explore new worlds, meet colorful alien races, wage wars and experience one of the most influential games in PC gaming history in its original form.

About: Star Control 1


Mankind is about to be wiped off the face of the galactic map. A savage clutch of alien races called the Ur-Quan Hierarchy has become the “evil empire” of the 27th century- ruthlessly invading interstellar neighbors. Humanity is next on their list. Your job is to make sure that they don’t succeed. The entire Alliance of Free Stars battlefleet awaits your orders.

About: Star Control 2


Arguably the greatest space adventure on PC, with tons of humor and memorable characters. You start in a nearly empty space-ship, but as the game progresses, you can upgrade it with many modules that affect the vessel's attributes. You can discover new stars, meet new alien races, wage wars, and boldly go where no man has gone before you. A truly exceptional exploration game that that has influenced the entire industry. While playing this gem, it's really fun to observe how many of its gameplay features were copied by modern AAA titles.

  • The pack includes Star Control 1 and Star Control 2.
  • 17th Best Game of all time, according to IGN.COM, and winner of many prestigious gaming awards
  • A vast universe to explore, full of bizarre alien races, powerful ancient technologies and mysterious places
  • Pulse-pounding action, side-splitting humor, and hair-raising plot twists

Star Control 2: This game is unbelievably ahead of its time. Try the original first, if you can't handle it get the remake then. At least read the wiki, it is a blast. Star Control 1: This game was made in a different era. Expect to read the instruction manual. -Ignore my playtime, this isn't my original Steam Account, and I don't just play on steam.-

Mastering the various matchups and ship characteristics is a good time! Be sure to learn to slow the game down to the correct speed using the dosbox config file.

Well, from all the Star Controls, SC2 is the best. A game I had the original from that you could sell the Planet Lander indefinatly to get unlimited Ru's but it got stolen and the SC2 you could download from the net removed that cash cow but I bought the game again because I really love it and am replaying it for the nth time!

I want to start by saying my review is purely for Star Control II, I have not played the first *yet*.

More experience from watching someone else play it, but I only recently thought about it and found out what it was called after all these years.) Helpful tip if you get stuck below marked by an *. It is amazing how much depth this game has for something that came out in the DOS days in the early 90s, and I recommend anyone playing it that is a fan of the space genre, especially if you are a fan of No Man's Sky, as the developer credited this game with being a major inspiration, and it shows! I can imagine playing this in the 90's would have felt like entering a portal into the future, truly amazing how this game captures a sense of awe and being a tiny speck in a huge galaxy! There are thousands of unique planets to explore, and the galaxy is vast, and it is chock full of different species and encounters to be had. The game is very dialogue rich, and just in the first hour or so I feel like I have learned a lot abo…
