From GameWatcher: “Let me talk a bit about my history with the Star Control series. Im old enough to have played, and beaten, both Star Control 2 and 3 (I didnt play the first, though). In my personal All Time Best list, theyd both rank somewhere in the Top 25. The Star Control games have always satiated my personal desire to play out my own personal Star Trek adventure, but in a less reverent universe. They were funny, well-written, and the combat was well ahead of its time.”
