	Star Control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Star Control was also the first 12-megabyte cartridge created for the system, although the system's processor couldn't quite keep up with all the detailed, moving sprites on screen, which resulted in slowdown during much of the core gameplay.
		Star Control II was written by Toys for Bob (Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III) and originally published by Accolade in 1992 for PC; it was later ported to the Macintosh, and the 3DO.
		Star Control II was highly influenced, both in story and game design, by the games "Starflight" (1986) and "Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula" (1989) developed by Binary Systems and released on a variety of platforms by Electronic Arts.

		The first of the series, Star Control: Famous Battles of the Ur-Quan Conflict, featured the basic Spacewar-style melee combat (as it was called, even though the ships actually fired projectile weapons at each other) engine as well as a strategic game with a three-dimensional cluster of stars as the terrain.
		It added a large number of species and ship types to the already diverse cast and replaced Star Control I's strategy-based full game with an exploration-oriented space adventure game that included the melee combat of the first game, resource-gathering and diplomacy.
		Created by fans of Star Control, Timewarp is a re-implementation from scratch of the game's melee engine enhanced with more modern rendering technology and a large number of new ships.

		I found the 2.35:1, 16x9-enhanced video for this "Director's Edition" of Star Trek II to be superior to that of the previous DVD: it's clearer and brighter, with stronger whites, in particular.
		The moving sequence in which Spock and Kirk speak their farewells is the culmination of the film's exploration of its most profound theme, one that embodies all of the best philosophical tendencies of "Star Trek".

		Ground Control II: Operation Exodus jumps forward in time from the original game by a few hundred years into a time when the Crayven Corporation and Order of the New Dawn don't even exist anymore.
		Instead, we're introduced to the Northern Star Alliance, a group of planets that were Earth colonies cut off from the center of human space back during the corporation wars in the first game.
		Ground Control II keeps the tactical strategy, but adds a couple of great features that speed the experience up and make it feel much more like a futuristic ground war.

		Ground Control first hit the scene about four years ago but never really made the big splash in an RTS market dominated by Command and Conquer.

		That was then, now, Ground Control II: Operation Exodus is here and vast battles sequences, excellently architectures, total camera flexibility and stunning graphics are all par for the course.
