Star Control I & II
Description
Star Control I
Mankind is about to be wiped off the face of the galactic map. A savage clutch of alien races called the Ur-Quan Hierachy has become the “evil empire” of the 27th century- ruthlessly invading interstellar neighbors. Humanity is next on their list. Your job is to make sure that they don’t succeed. The entire Alliance of Free Stars battlefleet awaits your orders.
Star Control II
Arguably the greatest space adventure on PC, with tons of humor and memorable characters. You start in a nearly empty space-ship, but as the game progresses, you can upgrade it with many modules that affect the vessel's attributes. You can discover new stars, meet new alien races, wage wars, and boldly go where no man has gone before you. A truly exceptional exploration game that that has influenced the entire industry. While playing this gem, it's really fun to observe how many of its gameplay features were copied by modern AAA titles.

It could have been Great!
The main issue i have with this game is it is impossible to win the game the first time playing without using a walk throu. The reason for this is the time limit. You only have a short window in which to complete the game and the time limit is to short if you just go about and explore the map by feeling around. The in game hints are weak so without using a walk throu telling you what to do and when you will inevitably will lose. i started to use a walk throu after about a third of the way through and I still lost. Other than that it has a lot of great humor and challenges. The Time limit should have been a difficulty variable so those that wanted to just go around the map and explore for themselves could still win.

Doesn't play
The game is great......if it plays. Hope you don't mind losing $6. Most likely you won't be able to play on a newer computer which is what I have

Sigh.
Star control 1 is hardly a game, just some scenarios based on the crappy combat. I played for maybe 30 minutes before I was done. Star control 2 seemed better until I realized I had spent around 6 hours mining minerals and wasn't really making any progress in the game. My ship was still too weak to head out into space and the combat still sucks. I couldn't do a damn thing in the combat of either of these games, I was often exploding before I could determine where the enemy ship was at. The story seemed interesting but the gameplay is crap. I wanted to explore space and interact with aliens not mine friggin minerals for hours on end.
