Star Control II

And I didn't even play it! :D

No, I just saw this screenshot in an imported PC Gamer magazine once, thinking "Hey, this looks cool and retro". Then I read the info in the box next to it, talking about that neat games site called "mobygames".

I should check this game out, just for old times' sake.

Yea, it's an amazing story, I know! ;)

I don't know which is better, SC 2 leading you to Mobygames or Mobygames leading you to SC2. They're just both so excellent...

Then you'd probably hate my recent review due to conflict with nostalgic purposes then. Hehe.

I'm not a raving fanboy -- I can concede that in significant areas SC2 was deeply flawed. On the whole, however, I remain astounded by how much they got right.

True. But I'm wondering if the game actually qualifies as an "adventure". Gameplay is more directed to that area that the strategy elements, to my professional opinion.
