In this episode, I look at Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters, one of the best games of the early 90s. A blend of action, adventure, and strategy inspired by Starflight and Spacewar!, Star Control II also owes a debt to the tabletop role-playing game Traveller by Game Designers' Workshop and popular science fiction novels of the 50s. The game is now open-source and freely available for modern platforms. Enjoy the video and consider rating it, subscribing to my channel, and leaving a comment.
