The Ur-Quan Masters

[k]

Thought I'd point out a good freeware game: The Ur-Quan Masters, a remake of a game called Star Control II whose source code was released to the public. In UQM you explore a huge galaxy to mine planets, meet lots of weird, original aliens, and fight with a customizable spaceship. Sort of a space RPG! Get the remixed music, too, which is worth listening to on its own.

"If you held a weapon to his head, he would say anything you told him to. In fact, if you held a vegetable to his head, he would probably say anything you told him to." -Spathi

Also worth mentioning is UnReal World, a shareware RPG in which you have to make your own tools just to survive. Bad interface, though.

There's also a project called "Time Warp" that looks much less professional, but offers a huge number of SCII variants including new ship designs and a giant-battlefield mode.

Orz ships have the *GO GO*, do you know? These are best for letting go near *HEAVY SPACE* planet bodies. Then *GO GO* is going fastest to enter ships of the *OTHER*. Then it is *HAPPY TIME*. --Orz

Wow, I should have posted this earlier, but thanks to this topic, I am now in love with Star Control II. Actually, I got into this game a few months ago, probably when this topic was first made. I've also got SC Timewarp and Aftermath, though the latter runs too slowly.

"You humans are so ugly, that I get my kids to behave by holding a picture of you behind my back, and I tell the kids that if they aren't good, I'll show it to them!" -VUX.

I like the battle theme, and the Hyperspace theme. They're both pretty well done. Let's not forget the OC Remixes, here: www.ocremix.org/game/351/. Hyperspace Electroblast is one of my favorite remixes on the entire site.
