i never played star control 2 but i ended up spoiling myself of it all because of the game's sheer charisma

hello extremely

Star Control II one of the best games of all time

Love Mass Effect 1, love old PC games, can't believe I've never heard of this game. Can I play Star Control 1 and 2 on GOG or do I need to figure out how to get this to run from this website? http://theurquanmasters.com/

I'm linux ignorant and having a hard a time getting it to compile and run

Edit: Consulted the Oracles, going vanilla, skipping straight to 2, no spoilers

Yeah like you amended, don't bother with 1 and go straight to the open-source version of 2

I spent an hour last night just reading the manual. Glorious

For anyone reading this on an ubuntu version of linux that wants to try the game, " sudo apt-get install uqm" in a terminal will get the game installed

Also use the command "sudo apt-get install uqm uqm-voice" to install the voice pack. The voices are ... interesting? They definitely add to it.

I've never heard of this, but this seems pretty cool

Fun fact: I tend to read @[email protected] posts in the Orz translated voice.

Undoubtedly, although I've only ever tried the multiplayer in Ur-Quan Masters. Really should get around playing it solo.
