I can run it without dosbox on my win98 machine, but the sound doesn't work. I actually really enjoy the full game mode. Fun strategy game with some action sprinkled in. Try playing against the computer on hard mode... I dare you to win!

SC2 is definately a great game also. Most awesome.

well, is this star control different than yours? because i can't run awesome difficulty mode (same as hard). do you have any advice? thanks.
bye

Who cares about any of that stuff? Star Control 2 had one of the best plots I've ever had the fun of unravelling. And it was hilarious too.

Have to say, I agree. In light of SC2, SC1 plays (for me!) like a test of its combat system. But SC2 has so much more to offer in the way of strategy, adventure, and wonderful humor.

but now i like sc1 better. it has easier control, no bugs (arilou doesn't transport INSIDE the sun, vux ALWAYS appears near enemy (that's the whole value of this ship), etc...) in melee. also, the full game is strategy, not adventure (for those who like strategy it's better).
personally, i believe star control is SPECTACULAR and ULTIMATE!!! :titan: . Star control 2 is AMAZING.
ciao! :whistling: ^_^ Mousazz

That's not a bug, it's intentional. Actually in SC2 Vux NEVER appears near you. The developers felt that otherwise would be too hard, and those combats were not supposed to be hard story-wise. Actually they came with a wonderful excuse. They said the Vux ships' always appearing near the enemy in the war between the Hierarchy and the Alliance (SC1) was due to admiral Zex's military genius. But during the events in SC2 admiral Zex was ostracised and the Vux fleet was commanded by less competent officers.

I just want to say thank you! i have this game, but my new computer doesnt have a floppy drive..cause I had to budget very carefully in its purchase. Now I get to play this game again! :kosta:

Although it took me awhile to get used to the strategic elements of the game, the actual space combat was spot on.

My friend and I would spend HOURS playing against each other in this little master piece. The sequel Star Control 2 happens to my my favorite game of all time, and there is a nice freeware remake playable on modern computers available here for those interested.

Thanks.

Holy crap, I just rembered to search here for this game. Used to have it on the Mega Drive.

I used to tell people about this all the time, about how good it was but no one knew it. Ah well screw them.

Sold on GOG now :max:
