Yup, you guessed it! Star Control 2 is now abandonware, and a few resourceful programmers (I think they're part of the original design team) have ported it over to modern systems and OS'es. It's now called the Ur-Quan Masters, instead of the more familar Star Control 2 for legal reasons.

Long Live our Ur-Quan Masters.

Never heard of this. What console was this game on? PC? Atari? NES?

This game was so awesome!

I was so sad when I couldn't install it on newer versions of Windows.

Woohooo that was/is an awesome game...does it come with the huge fold-up starmap?

Oh that is so badass! Great game. I always wanted them to make a more modern update and expand it to a massive scale.

Woo hoo! I loved this game, it had to be one of the most enjoyable (and funniest) ever! Thanks for the link!

Now all I need is a modern version of Master of Magic and I'd be living in the golden age of games again!

So good!

It's been available online for a while, I think the new one is some sort of rip off of the old one and now its called Ur-Quan Masters or something. I played like 2/3's of it about 6 months ago before getting bored. Great game in it's day though.
