A very fun (and funny) space adventure. Quite impressed with how reactive and dense it is for its age
Everyone should play this I think (but specifically the open source port called The Ur-Quan Masters)
this game is the SHIT and everyone should FUCKING PLAY IT.

masterpiece. highlights are the atmosphere and the alien conversations. genius idea to have unique fonts. graphics were ahead of the curve. very cool to just float around and explore. one of my favorites
good game
This game would be an incredible achievement if it came out today;. That it was made in 1992 is nothing short of a miracle.
If you like exploration or spaceships or aliens or classic Fallout style RPGs then you owe it to yourself to boot up The Ur-Quan Masters right the hell now. If you don't have the time at least check out the soundtrack, which is nothing but bops.

it's one of the bestest games ever and readily available for free, hence why it has less reviews here than Starfield at the day of its release
An incredible space adventure that is at times both silly and serious. Brilliant alien designs, a real feeling of exploration and a dose of Star Trek-esque problem solving make it a one-of-a-kind experience. My only critique is that some plot-important planets are hard to locate.

Extremely open space exploration and dialogue focused game inspired directly by Star Trek with a huge variety of creative alien interactions and cryptic mysteries, where the combat can straight up be automated? Always nice to find a game made specifically for me.
Okay I've bounced off this game so many times but this time I'm feeling like I've got a handle on it and I'm gonna go the distance.
it's an old game which means you got to play it a certain way, the bad: save early and save often, seems totally possible to seal your doom and not realize for a little while so multiple files.
the good, take copious notes. there are people who like playing games with a pen and notebook by the computer and people who think that's weird and terrible. I am decidedly the former and this is a game for those sorts people, lots of coordinates and noteworthy planets to remember, lots of weird mysteries to solve that are gonna go easier if you've been writing down the clues.
On that note, pick up the Open Source Ur-Quan project, it's free, it runs Star Control just fine and dandy on modern Windows and lets you pick and choose features from the OG DOS or enhanced 3DO version. 3DO version included pretty decent Voice Acting, which I find makes it way easier for me pay attention to the, it turns out, super important information being conveyed.
you know it's possible I have a bit of the ol' ADHD.
