ok, this may be a long shot, but i found a game called star con, and its for PS1, it's pretty rare, and it has all the characteristics of starcontrol. Send me a message if u want to know the website to buy one.

Well, my friend, I hate to break the news to you...

Once again, you have been lied to.  There is no game for PS1 called Star Con.  Actually, you're probably referring to the sequel to Star Control 3 that was proposed for PlayStation.  Yes, it was supposed to be the 'Star Control 4' and it was a 3D-space battle game, rather than a diplomatic, RPG-type space exploration game a la SC2.  So, unfortunately this is either a hoax or just a game that was advertised to come out, but never saw the light of day (which is reality).  Do not buy this game, because it doesn't exist.

What's the website?  Maybe we can take a look at what this page is advertising.

Star Con was supposed to be a PS1 game, but it never came out... if someone's trying to sell you one, they're trying to rip you off.

Or they are just selling a CD-R of the leaked beta.

I have one of the "Magazine Preview Copies".  You need a modified Playstation console though.  Needs to be able to read CD-Rs...

More info on what was Star Control 4 at one point...

That's the direct link to the game being sold.  The fact that there is no box art, the game has no listed genre, and is said to be published by EA sports when it was actually being made by Accolade (not to mention it was not going to be a sports game either...) tells me there is no game for sale here.  Its very strange, since this game will never come out, that someone is trying to sell something that doesn't exist... and for almost $50, too!
