Videogame Review: Star Control 2

I have never successfully convinced anyone to play Star Control 2.  I’m writing this now because I want you to understand that this game is immensely special and I lack the charisma of speech to deliver this message but I’m going to try anyway.  This is one of those games I replay every couple years because I love it so much.

Star Control 2 is an open space (as in outer space) RPG with a somewhat non-linear story where you make decisions that will change the process to how you arrive at the end.  Game play consists of conversation trees, space exploration, mineral mining, space ship customization, and space ship combat.   Star Control 2 was released for the PC in 1992 and is currently free for PC and updated to work on pretty much any OS (http://sc2.sourceforge.net/).
