I hate sounding corny when I say this... but what games does SC2/UQM really compare with? And no, that's not me saying 'this game is so great that no game can possibly match it'. I just can't think of any games that it would be aptly comparable with.
It depends on how you classify UQM. If you look at it as a sci-fi RPG, Starflight I've heard is pretty good. (However, I have a hard time getting over mining the first world. I run out of fuel too fast.)
If you're talking about a game with clever character design and somewhat interesting dialogs, then MOO kinda makes it (and was considerably commercially more successfull. However, it lacked a storyline.)
If you are considering the well concieved storyline with multple branching possibilities then perhaps you'd like to play FF7? (Not really sci-fi and let's face it, the battles were pretty lame. Programming moves and waiting for your turnjust doesn't do it for me.)
However, if you're talking about a cleverly written game with fun characters, that successfully combines a story driven RPG style exploration with intense action fighting sequences, then, no game can compare with UQM.

Betrayal at Krondor is very similar to Starcon 2 in that is is a giant hybrid of genres that succeeds in everything it attempts. Plus it is extremely intimidating when you first look at the map just like Starcon 2. Another great game of epic proportions is XCom 1. Neither of these games exhibit the kind of humor that Starcon exudes; so if humor is what kept you going, the Lucasarts adventure games are probably, dead on, what you want to play. Curse of Monkey Island is a good entry point if you aren't familiar with reverse logic adventure games. Full Throttle and Day of the Tentacle are both great lesser known adventures more for the veteran.

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

A reduction in gamma (i.e. brightness) could have to do with screen degradation, or it can have to do with the power supply... I don't think gamma rays (high energy photons typically emitted in nuclear processes) would do it, actually, unless it melted the whole screen.

Plus, we'll both be Englightened in no time if we keep this up... 
) need a comparison before we can get the point of how good a game really is. I would also suggest a demonstration of how the melee works, since most guys like shooting and explosions. That or offer them something 'extra' to play.
