Getting some inspiration from the classics
#starcontrol

Game settings that live in my head rent free: Star Control 2 (1992). The super influential epic Space Opera game that most people never heard of. Liberate a conquered galaxy (Earth & its good allies having lost an interstellar war against the bad alliance) & save it from a new nihilistic race of aliens. Amazing dialog, genuine humor, unique action & art design, a frustrating mining mini game...

You are Non-Juffo-Wup, you cannot understand.

Looking for a good old game?
Try #StarControl II, one of the best games ever made and has an incredible sound track!

Best thing? It's source code has been released some time ago and runs on Linux!
https://sc2.sourceforge.net/

Just
apt-get uqm
on #Debian and friends will do the trick!

Holy smokes a Star Trek / #StarControl crossover is something I would pay to see produced if I could.

@ChaskaTheMagicDog Over the decades, I forgot more than I learned. But in my hayday, I was a walking database for Discworld, Planescape, Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri (without DLC) and Star Control.

Let me try to add some nerd catchers for those:

For me, this runs from the late 80s (I actually don't remember when my family got that Commodore 64) until I dropped out of college in the mid-2000s:

#WingCommander
#StarControl
#BattleChess
#CallOfDuty (the WWII ones; Modern Warfare came out after I dropped out)
#MatterhornScreamer

This is the happiest news I've seen in a long time. The creators of #StarControl and the company making the new Star Control:Origins have decided to stop making life suck for everyone who loves the series, and settle the long legal battle with honey and mead. All Star Control projects can go forward, and everyone agrees to play nice.

BRAVO, guys.
