I don't get it. The above reaction is exactly what spoiled brats tell you when you show them a game like Star Control. As long as they can't click it, can't throw extreme fireballs, or don't need a 200 bucks videocard to run it, it's not worth their time.
Come on guys, when are you going to look beyond the fancy packaging and actually look at the game itself?
It's odd, but I've noticed a trend lately towards the "you can't beat the old games." I mean, I can't believe how many spoiled brats I've met of late who tell me their getting into Atari emulation. ATARI! I'm talking the old 2 bit one button systems. They tell me the games are just more fun. The trend is comming, but since there's no money in emulation like that the game companies are pushing for "Bigger+Badder=Better". Consequently these GamePro reading, DSL demo downloading, ATI Rage holding endless pockets of the monies that are being focused on are believing them. Ignore it for a moment and it will pass.
I look for the day when the world realized that marketing doesn't equil reality. When we turn off the TV and ignore the 7236 commercial messages we recieve a day in favor of doing and being what we want, who we want. When marketing must actually build trust instead of brainwashing their audience. That way, games like Starcontrol or Starscape, advertised by people to people contact will sell well and games that are mearly mass marketed will fail becuase while, yes, Impossible Creatures is a inovative game with state of the art graphics that's easy to find anywhere you go, the fact is it's just not "fun" and no one will recomend it to their friends.
So let's take back our reality! Blow up your TV. Throw away your papers. Move to the country. Build you a home. Plant a little garden. Eat alot of peaches. Introduce your friends to StarControl, all on your own!

Well, I got my girlfriend to play as part of a trade -- I'd go shopping with her if she tried it out.
This won't work with others, I bet.

No, it's more of "Jub Jub!"... hmmm.
If the ewoks had a starship, what would it be like?
I bet it would swing from asteroid to asteroid, but have no or very very little main engines. They would poke the enemy with sharpened stones.
Definitely filth, not a threat.

Don't the Ewoks say 'LUB LUB' ?
According to the verses, it's:
Yub nub.
Ee chop yub nub,
toe meet toe pee chee keene, g'noop dock fling oh ah.
Yah wah.
Ee chop yah wah,
toe meet toe pee chee keene, g'noop dock fling oh ah
Coat ee chah tu yub nub,
Coat ee chah tu yah wah,
Coat ee chah tu glo wah.
allay loo ta nuv
Glo wah.
Ee chop glo wah
ya glo wah pee chu nee foam, ah toot dee awe goon daa.
Coat ee cha tu goo (Yub nub!)
coat ee cha tu doo (Yah wah!)
coat ee cha tu too (ya chaa!)
allay loo tu nuv
allay loo tu nuv
allay loo tu nuv
Glo wah.
Ee chop glo wah.
Ya glow wah pee chu nee foam,
ah toot dee awe goon daa
allay loo tu nuv.
See, I know strange things about other Sci-Fi universes too.

Ah, but it's NOT a midget choir. It's blatantly normal human singing being placed in the mouths of the ewoks. Now that I listen to it again I find it hilarious.
... Unless the rebels brought a choir down to the forest moon of endor, had them learn Ewok, and sing their dance music, on the night of the destruction of the second death star, without having destroyed the imperial star fleet (which was never a resolved issue to begin with, I mean, there's the imperial fleet -- what happened after the death star blew up?).
