Aha I see now! (And I wasn't calling Abandonia a 'falsely informed' abandonware site. There are sites that think Solar Winds is abandoned. Thats what I meant.) But I see. Hahaaa, no wonder every copy I tried to buy kept saying "shareware version" that throws you off x_x well, Now I regret returning part one to EB games eehee.....

Pls help...

Theres a game that I used to have YEARS ago, it was a top down space adventure game where you had to communicate with different species of Alien, and you had a warp drive that you could use to get to other co-ordinates in the galaxy... IT was part Action (space fighting) / part adventure. From what I remember there was this race that was very aggressive and they were planning to create an ultimate weapon, and it's the players mission to stop them (the usual stuff :crazy: ). Once you had got to a certain bit tho, it asked you to get the second part to continue, and I never found it, or the first again.

If any1 can help, it'd be appreciated.

Wait, is this a request or are you trying to get the game to work?

If that's the case just download DosBox , if you don't have it already it's pretty easy to use, if you can't figure it out just refer to the site's Tutorial.

Star Control.

Currently there is a freeware remake of Star Control 2

It might be more accurate to say that it's in the works, rather than "it is." All the team has produced thus far are music remixes. If they're actually working on a freeware version of the game, they've put up nothing to indicate progress. I do hope it's coming along, but of course, we all have our real-life schedules to attend to.

You were saying? It's in alpha status, but it's plenty playable and more-or-less complete. The music remixes are what's on the main page because that's what they're working on RIGHT NOW.

Try actually READING the site instead of looking at the site.

Ngg... :blink: , wasn't Star Control that semi-humourous space Master of Orion-type thingy?

Yeah and Nay. It did do a lot of the really funny alien types and alien reactions, but it was more of a sim than a 4X. Everything was real-time, you could have multiple ships and you could outfit them with pods for weapons, crew, etcetera.

The real GOAL was to collect enough resources to raise a fleet and strike back against the Ur-Quan, so it really boiled down to a RTS minus the S.
