Seriously, why don't more people know about this game?

The Good
I find it amazing that whenever I hear about the "best" games, Civilization comes up, but usually not Star Control II. A shame since SCII IS the best game ever made. No other game made me feel like it did while I played it and, although other games may have come close, nothing I've played since can change my mind(even gasp compared the games I've written in my gaming career.) SCII truely represented the next level in music, character evolution, plot and battle(ship variety). Production, as well as play, qualities were top notch; what more can I say but to play it, bearing in mind the game was released in 1992.

The Bad
HA...I guess I have to put something...how about that SCIII wasn't as groundbreaking?

The Bottom Line
Space Action/Adventure...and well written the too numerous to mention synopsis all over the internet.
