I have been playing it for a long time and I still like it.
I think, that it is a great classic game.
What do you think?
Full Version: Star Control 2
I think it's totally awesome. I was never into the actual main part of it...but I could play the melee section, over and over! The soundtrack is also brilliant, I listen to it quite often.
You are lucky!
It does not play ANY sound on my PC.

Well...I actually downloaded the soundtrack off the net.
However, if you want in-game sound, a google search for Dosbox, that allows you to run almost all DOS games in windows perfectly.
I just cannot play that game without hearing the sound of the Ur-Quan Dreadnaught's cannon.

Well...
I actually I like the Chrmmrmr ( I'm not sure, that I spelled it right. It's difficult to spell that.)

There should be readme instructions with it. But basically this is what I do:
1) Run Dosbox (Double click it or whatever)
2) At the command prompt I type: Mount c c:\ (if c:\ is where I keep my dos games.) This creates a dos environment for the c:\
3) Then I type c:\ This takes me to my dos C:\
4) Then I just treat it like normal dos. EG: cd starcon...etc.
5) Press Alt and Enter to get full screen mode.
Thats the best I can explain it to you...I really suggest you read the readme file.

To quote them:
"The project started in August 2002, when Toys For Bob released the partially ported sources of Star Control 2 3DO version to the fan community. Our goal is to port this wonderful game to current personal computers and operating systems. It is and will remain 100% free of charge, and anyone can contribute to the project and thus help make it even better. For more information, look at our info page."
It's open source and is still being worked on by a community. The game is terrific, and I even printed out my old PDF manuals from the DOS version for it.
