There is a shocking lack of Star Control 2 in here. Easily the best game I have ever played, period. It frequently gets name dropped in lists of game developers' favorite games of all time. Later space epics like Mass Effect stood on Star Control 2's shoulders to reach the heights they did.

Good news! The devs released it to the open source community under the name The Ur-Quan Masters. You can play it now for free! And they're developing a sequel as we speak over at Pistol Shrimp Games

Super Melee was so much fun! Chenjesu and Khor-Ah were the toughest but the other ships were pretty well balanced. So much fun.

I loved exploring new star systems too. Just an incredible game!

Juffo-Wup fills in my fibers and I grow turgid.

Oh this one is good. I have like 12 hours stuck in an empty community college lounge today. I found an APK for Android and I've been playing for a solid 4 hours. It's a lot of fun even just gathering resources and upgrading the flagship.

How do I find tech upgrades? My lander needs some environmental resistance for sure.

.. you'll find upgrades eventually :)
