Star Control 2 aka The Ur-Quan Masters is a project that recreated this great old game from the original 3D0 source code into a form that can run on modern PCs. It's apparently exactly the same as the old game, so it's more of a rebuild than a remake.
Anyway, it's much bigger than I expected, an epic space adventure with imaginative aliens, free roaming gameplay, resource gathering, and of course space combat.
In the early stages, I didn't actually get into much space combat, but even so it was still very enjoyable.
For strange legal reasons it apparently has to officially be called The Ur-Quan Masters, but we all know that it's Star Control 2
"Overlooked Oldies" is a series of let's play videos of retro games that I somehow never played back in the day. Many of them will be suggestions made by subscribers, particularly on binary milestone request videos.
