Star Control II, PC.

A wonderful game, but I have always been fond of its spiritual predecessors: Starflight and Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula.

What a great game. It made me imagine what it would be like to travel such a wonderfully large universe.

Apparently the original team behind Star Control is making a direct sequel to II, since SC 3 was done by a different studio and did not follow the storyline that the creators had in mind.

And it's supposed to be released this year. They are calling it "Free Stars: Children of Infinity", since they don't own the rights to the Star Control name. But they do own all the rights to the content in SC 1and SC 2, so this could be fun!

I did like SC 3 as well, but it wasn't nearly as great as SC 2. I can barely remember the main storyline.
