The Ur-Quan Masters is a classic space game that is celebrated for its rich narrative, colorful characters, and vast open universe. You are the captain of the last human starship, leading the Alliance of Free Stars against the Ur-Quan and their armada of battle thralls.

The story and setting have influenced countless other game developers, including Tim Cain (Fallout), Ken Levine (BioShock), Henrik Fåhraeus (Stellaris), and Charlie Cleveland (Subnautica). To this day, a passionate fandom continues to quote its alien dialog, from the cowardly Spathi, to the menacing Ur-Quan, to the enigmatic Orz.

Nov 30th: Ur-Quan Masters 30th Anniversary Celebration

It's been 30 years since Star Control II — the Ur-Quan Masters was released.
While there hasn't been much activity from the UQM Open Source team lately, there is a lot of excitement coming from the other side of the Ur-Quan Masters universe.

You may have heard that the creators of the original game have started a new company, Pistol Shrimp, and that they are creating a sequel to The Ur-Quan Masters. Happy days and jubilation!

But also, to celebrate the 30th anniversary, there will be a live 30th Anniversary Celebration Twitch stream on November 30th, and you're all invited.
The stream starts at 1pm PST / 4 pm EST / 21:00 UTC on https://twitch.tv/x33n/.

More information can be found on the Pistol Shrimp blog, and the Reddit thread.

Looking at Pistol Shrimp games release on Steam, it looks like they just repackaged the remake I link here.

This would be good to add the GoG free section. If you were unaware, the source code was given publicly by the owner over 20 years ago. You can play it today for free:

Note if you download it, make sure you also download the CD-ROM audio tracks (links are on the page I link above). The original PC version was text only, but the 3DO version spiced it up a little.

The remaster seen here also plays nice with modern systems with all sorts of graphics and sound options.
