I heartily agree. Star Control 2 had gameplay/story/action/cool music/funny comments and more in a single game, it is one of my Favorites too. Too bad it has never worked properly on anything higher than my 386 (which disappeared mysteriously in a rip to quasi-space some years ago )

I first played SC2 on my 286 which could barely handle it, but it works fine on my current machine. (pentium II , in DOS modus)

For a nice website on SC2 look at:

There's also a fan-based project that tries to create a worthy successor of SC2 (SC3 was quite a dissapointment after playing the original). It's called starcontrol Timewarp and looks quite promissing, they already have a working and playable combat engine :

I still have the guts of a 386-DX 40Mhz (Motherboard, video card, etc.) but I refitted the case with a Socket 7 motherboard and an AMD K6-2 450 so I'd have a second usable computer. Everyone tells me I wasted my $150 dollars on the parts because I could have gotten a used Celeron for only a little more. *shrug*...
