Not directly Star Control 2 related, but I figured posters here would be interested in some other stuff about Toys for Bob. Basically, I noticed that the character models in their "The Unholy War" game for the Playstation 1 were the same as the enemies in extremely obscure Japanese only title "Little Witching Mischiefs", and asked them how that came about. In the process I got back some awesome emails explaining everything you ever wanted to know about a Toys for Bob game you never heard of!

As far as The Unholy War goes, though, if you like either Star Control 1, Archon, or Star Control II's Melee (and I'm sure of the latter) then you might want to give The Unholy War a try, especially if you can get another player to go up against you. You can really feel that the game's combat was done by the same people who brought you the Super Melee.
