In case you don’t already know, there’s a perfectly legitimate freeware version of Star Control 2 that plays the same as the original, but for legal reasons is titled 'The Ur-Quan Masters' (abbreviated as UQM). This guide is written based on UQM, not the old DOS version of Star Control 2. In Star Control II each species had a specific soundtrack we heard while talking with it, and a specific text font for the dialogues; now the fonts are gone, and the tunes will hardly get our attention. As for the new alien species, well, they haven't been created by any sci-fi top gun, and they lack the depth of the ones introduced in the. Star Control II. Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters was released in 1992 by Accolade. It is the second and final game in the series created by Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III. The original version was created for PC, but later an alternate version was released for the console 3DO, which allowed for the inclusion of speech and a modernized intro. Star Control II is an action-adventure science fiction game, set in an open universe. It features ship-to-ship combat based on the original Star Control, but removes the first game's strategy gameplay to focus on story and dialog, as seen in other adventure games. StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void is the third major release in the epic StarCraft II trilogy saga. As Hierarch Artanis, leader of the mighty protoss race, only you can reunite the protoss factions.
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 alien species. Encounter exotic alien civilizations. Explore strange new worlds. Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters, developed by Toys for Bob and published by Accolade in 1992, is one of the most acclaimed games of all time. Better known than it’s predecessor and better loved than it’s reviled sequel, Star Control II can be found on many a ‘best of’ list.

I must agree that the UQM version is the best. I like the exploration and shuttle sequences, but never really liked the main combat, since it was so easy to run into heavenly bodies that should have been part of the background instead of obstacles. I personally LOVE the voice acting! So many old, and new, games could benefit from this.

Firstly, Ur-Quan Masters is a freeware version of Star Control II from the code of the Panasonic 3DO version. It has been updated multiple times and modernised. Whoop.
However, despite that, I will always play this in DosBox. The interface of the PC version is what I prefer. The 3DO additions are actually an annoyance to me.
Simply put, this is the greatest game ever. No other game completes the picture of superior music, graphics, dialogue, gameplay, storyline and backstory as Star Control II did.
The music in mod form is simply brilliant. For 1992, absolutely mindblowing. When some games still had PC speaker, this game created original tunes (with outside help from independent contributors) and paired them brilliantly with the scene of that moment, whether it's exploring a solar system, exploring a planet, speaking to one of the many alien races, engaging in combat, or simply flying through hyperspace. Almost every tune is a masterpiece in its own right.
The many game modes within the one game are also varied and add to the richness of the experience. Every star in the game can be explored. You can explore each solar system, and each planet within. Within each planet you can harvest minerals for 'resource units' (the game's version of currency), energy sources (rare, but generally things you can take with you, or destroyed civilizations), and biological units.
Each alien race can be interacted with. Some hostile, some neutral, and some friendly who will ally with you. The backstory of the Ur-Quan is tragic, and despite being the antagonist of the game, you can understand their outlook and fractured psyche.
You can outfit your starship as you see fit carrying whatever modules and accompanying ships. Whether you wish to be purely exploratory, or an aggressive warship is completely up to the player.
As part of the storyline, certain artifacts must be collected. There are multiple ways to gather some of them as well. Some methods may be morally questionable.
The dialogue within the game is plentiful yet also quite humourous and interesting. Plenty of dialogue which also provides fascinating into each and every race in the game.
The graphics for 1992 are simply breathtaking. To this day, I still enjoy them immensely. HD graphics are not required. It will not improve the experience of the game one bit. The standard offering is still amazing, relative to its age without gimmick.
The length of the game is also considerable. Relatively to other games of the day, this game was long, but doesn't drag out as there's always something to be done.
The depth of the story as well as the many unanswered questions left behind has always kept me entertained. For the past 28 years, this game has been my favourite. As gaming has moved away from deep narrative, this game becomes even more important in my opinion in how a well put together game even with the passage of time will always remain timeless.
Star Control II is simply a game that no true gamer can dismiss nor disparage.
Doing so will only expose you as a fool, worthy of the Kohr-Ah's cleaning.

You're better off playing Ur-Quan Masters for free with HD graphics and sound.

To PIXELACHER. Bye or get Win 7 or Win XP. And game itself, that IS a very good game and I not say more of that. 'I have Win XP.'

This is a great game, UrQuan wars is a rewrite and much better interface along with the great music. It's also free! Now were just waiting on sword of the samurai to be allowed to be downloaded again, hint hint!

The story was excellent. The file downloaded here have a hints folder with a star map that helped me out a ton. Also I believe the files for the human and the red probe ships were modified. The human ship has unlimited energy and can fly so fast it will kill itself by flying faster then the missiles it fires(hint shoot sideways if moving.) The red probes attacks seem to be disabled completely. I didn't realize this until halfway through the game which helped out a lot when getting the hang of the game. can't wait to play a second time with the original ship setting(the files are found in the 'original' folder).

Absolutely LOVED this game, and I have no idea why. It has NOTHING I look for in a good game except the story, but I just could not get enough of it. Played through dozens of times and enjoyed every minute of it.

Look up 'Ur Quan Masters', it's an opensource free remake of the game, that works on modern machines.
