I've personallu never played star control 1, but I have played the Ur-QUan Masters, and I'm pretty hopeful....I've never played Star Control 3, or know what's so bad about it, but I do know this: That Puppets are CRAP.
Thankyou.

You know, I think that if a true sequel is made, it should be proudly and openly stated to the mainstream that it's a sequel to an old DOS game, one that even continues the storyline. Part of the marketing campaign should be that the original is now freeware. In fact, Star Control 1 and the latest version of UQM (unless of course your publisher stipulates that they gain the rights) should be packaged with the game, including the original manuals. I think that might create a sort of mystique around it. Not to mention that it's a pretty cinematic idea. It invokes the Star Wars sequels, which is probably a double edged sword, come to think of it. Still, the idea is worth considering!

The X-Box version of Doom 3 did the same thing, invluded Dooms 1 and 2 in the disc. Wonder if the Doom3 expansion has the two extensions to Doom 2 on it.

Hey, this is just a quick Star Control initiative update: Emails and petition signings supporting that initiative I just mentioned continue to come in. We're still a little short of that 1 million mark I wanted. I guess that can just stay out of my car and into my dreams for a while. My car isn't all that clean right now anyway.
We really do appreciate all of this support. Besides helping us convince Activision that there is a fan base clammoring for this game, the emails really fire Paul up. He's been brainstorming ideas on his spare time for a possible sequel and come up with some really cool stuff.
So are we actually going to make this thing? We still don't know. It's kind of like birds. What are birds? We really don't know. The hope is that after we finish our current project, Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam, we can propose doing a Star Control sequel next. Oh yeah, that's right, our current project is Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam for the Wii. So now you know. And knowing is half the battle. You know what the other half of the battle is? Battling.
