Star Control 2 For Mac
  1. Star Command is raising funds for STAR COMMAND: Kickstart Part 2 - The PC/Mac Space Adventure on Kickstarter! Star Command is a spaceship management game for iOS, Android and now for PC/Mac. Build your ship, hire your crew, explore the galaxy!
  2. In response, Star Control is formed and the player is selected to command the crew of the U.E.S. Star Control: Origins takes place in a huge living universe just waiting to be explored. Players will find their time split between exploring distant solar systems, landing on exotic planets, navigating hyperspace, and interacting with.
  3. Never played the original Star Control 2 but observed some of it-enough to know that Ur-Quan Masters HD is the best to play. But sadly, and the reason I give it a design value of 1 instead of 5 and a 1-star rating instead of 5-star, is because of a SAVE GAME glitch.
  4. Star Control - Manual STAR CONROL is a science-fiction wargame which pits the forces of The Alliance of Free Stars against those of the predatory Ur-Quan Hierarchy. The game is designed so that you can ease into play, familiarizing yourself with menus, options, and player controls.
