I loved this, but I was a bigger fan of Starflight, which I would love to see a slightly updated version of -- not a full reboot but just ... more visual detail on the planets, maybe some 3D effects.
- Falkon1313 5y agoI liked Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula, and played it long before I heard of Star Control 2. But being from 1989, it could use a bit of a modernization remaster. I found the combat crazy difficult the last time I tried to play it, but maybe that can be fixed with the right Dosbox settings.
- mcphage 5y agoI loved Starflight so much growing up. One of my favorite gaming stories—on a planet near to where you start, you can find an artifact that claims to solve all of the problems you have in the game. And artifacts in Starflight have silly names like "Whining Orb" or "Black Egg". So when this artifact was named "Red Herring", I didn't think much of it. Sadly, it took 50.1 cubic meters, and your rover can only carry 50 cubic meters. I spent a while trying to figure out how to pick that up. Years later, when I learned what the phrase "red herring" meant, I was like "sonofabitch!".
