The Best Video Game Ever
When I bought Star Control 2, back in the nineties, I didn't quite know what I was getting into. I purchased the Star Control Collection (1 and 2, at the time), thinking it was a different kind of game. A sister of mine ... Read Full Review

The best outer-space adventure / role-playing game ever made.
This is the only game I can recall in the 35 years I have been a gamer that still is the best to-date in its associated category. To this day this is still the best outer-space adventure and role-playing game. Its much... Read Full Review

The best voice acting ever in a game without a doubt. One of the best games ever made. Yet no one's ever heard of it.
This game is so good it's ridiculous. To this day, there is no game that has ever even come close to the quality of voice acting it had back in 1992. The story line is far better than most movies or books, let alone ... Read Full Review

One of the most incredible games ever. It's even been refitted! http://sc2.sourceforge.net/

An example of the best of what gaming has to offer.
1993. I sat in front of the computer in the Fox family TV room and typed starcon2 into the DOS prompt. The sitcom laugh track faded into background noise as I began my exploration of our solar system. I must have played ... Read Full Review

This is, quite simply, perhaps the greatest game ever created. Younger gamers may not have heard of it, but they should.
The Good: Dozens of alien races of every shape, kind and description spring to life with the excellently written dialogue. Non-stop humor blends with some of the tragic elements of the storyline like top-shelf rum blend... Read Full Review

A testament to quality game play.
Starting out it looks like a normal top down space shooter. Playing deeper you quickly realize that it isn't just your normal run of the mill game. You can play as many different races which have there own back story a... Read Full Review
