| | Star Control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Colony management was likely a result of Accolade's requests to determine the direction of the game, as it is unlikely for Legend, known for their interactive fiction, to have decided to introduce such elements into what was a deeply story-driven computer game in the first place. | | | Created by fans of Star Control, Timewarp is a re-implementation from scratch of the game's mêlée engine enhanced with more modern rendering technology and a large number of new ships. | | | Based around a space combat game modeled after Spacewar, each of the three games adds to this a strategic or adventure portion. |

| | Star Control II is easily one of my all-time favorite computer games, and one of those games that makes me feel privileged having played it--I felt like I'd dug up a chest full of gold doubloons when I discovered that game, it was so unbelievably good. | | | The 18 different races in Star Control II were all distinctively different, and none of them fit the generic science-fiction stereotypes that have always been so common in games. | | | The game's world consisted of 500 unique star systems, and you could even scavenge the surface of the thousands of different planets in the game for minerals and other valuables. |

| | Review - Star Control 3 |
| | When Star Control 3 was announced to be released by MacSoft, I responded with a huge "huh?" Mac gamers who don't venture too far into PC games won't be familiar with this Accolade title, and even some who do try to keep tabs on PC games won't know it. | | | Star Control 3 attempts to meld the two into a complete intergalactic adventure of strategy and diplomacy. | | | Adventure/strategy games are very popular because they allow gamers to control huge armies, vast resources, and pit their smarts against challenges unlike anything in real life. |

| | Star Control 3 on CD-ROM from CDAccess.com |
| | "Star Control 3 is a fantastic game, even if it doesn't quite have the soul of SC2. | | | "Although star Control 3's scorecard is uneven, in one respect it easily beats its predecessor: game balance. | | | "Overall, Star Control 2 was a funnier, more colorful game, but Star Control 3 supplies a superior gaming engine, excellent online help (including a tracking system for hints), a sophisticated strategy-based colony system, fine Super VGA artwork, and far better game balance. |

| | Star Control II is an RPG set in the far future with real time combat in the spirit of the classic Starflight series and the original Star Control games. | | | I don't have much more to say about gameplay it's still Star Control II, the enhancements do a lot to add to the mood of the game and makes it quite a bit easier to get into the mood of the game. | | | Despite all the enhancements this is still definitely Star Control II, when it comes down to it, and those who have played other versions, know that that's a pretty big compliment. |

| | Each of the races in the game was considered to be on one of two teams: the "Alliance of Free Stars" or the "Ur-Quan Hierarchy." Players moved their ships through a hard-to-interpret rotating 3D map of star systems, and when two ships occupied the same system, they fought. | | | It was, at heart, a dressed up version of the classic Spacewar game: meant for two players, each player controls a ship and tries to blow the other one out of the skies. | | | Many of these don't have anything to do with the main plotline, but the fact that they are there lends an open-ended feeling to the game that others have been striving (and failing) to emulate ever since. |
