In 1990, Toys for Bob released a simple multiplayer space battle game called Star Control. In 1992, it birthed a sequel, Star Control 2, an MS-DOS space exploration adventure of dizzying scope. Ten years later, the creators made the source code of the 3DO version available as open source. Another nine years passed, and the game was reborn as The Ur-Quan Masters, a non-commercial PC recreation of the original game for a new generation. The Ur-Quan Masters is one of my favorite games of all time, and although there is already an LP of it in the archive, I want to put my own spin on it, and maybe introduce this classic gem to a new audience.

BGM Earth and her partners in the Alliance of Free Stars... Against the evil Ur-Quan and its Hierarchy of Battle Thralls. ...and the Ur-Quan were winning... Meanwhile, on the edge of the known frontier, an amazing discovery was made... far beneath the surface of an unexplored, alien world... Filled with the technological wonders of an advanced alien race, the Precursors... Who vanished a thousand centuries ago. But then the main Ur-Quan fleet broke through the Alliance's defensive line... Isolating the planet, stranding the scientists a hundred light years away from Earth. They wated hopefully for a rescue vessel... which never came. We, the survivors of the research mission, have colonized this world. We continued our investigation of the underground city... And we have discovered its purpose... It is a factory. But there aren't enough materials to make a complete vessel. We can finish only the skeleton of one starship. But that must be enough - Because YOU must captain the vessel... And return to Earth! Find out what has happened over these many years... Tell Earth of our plight! And if the war with the Ur-Quan still rages.... So! Before we can truly begin, there are two decisions that must be made!
Voting will last for 24 hours.

Late 80s/early 90s sci fi genre adventure game? Sign me up. I'm blind to this but the opening has me hooked in so far. Hmm. I think the captain is named Zaphod Beeblebrox and he is piloting the Heart of Gold.

DentD posted:Late 80s/early 90s sci fi genre adventure game? Sign me up. I'm blind to this but the opening has me hooked in so far. I'm going to second this: Zaphod Beeblebrox and his trusty (and totally not stolen) Heart of Gold.

Since this version is based on the 3DO port (which I own a legit copy of ), the names should be obvious. Trip Hawkins piloting the FZ-1.

Blind Sally posted:Dash Rendar, captain of the Outrider. I'm interested to see how you handle this, since a lot of my playthroughs fall into more or less the same path through the game. And yes, Fwiffo needs to survive.
