Weekly Discussion - Best Moments in History

Did everything just taste purple for a second?

Hello everyone,

This weeks discussion is going to be based around your memories and experiences while playing Star Control. It doesn't matter if you're a veteran of the series or if you just learned about it a week ago, we want to hear your stories. 

So tell us, what are your best memories of the series? Was it something funny, sad, exciting, etc?

My best memory of Star Control is hearing about it on the Stardock forums.

Well okay, that is my ONLY memory.

  1. Destroying the Sa-Matra
  2. Tricking the Ilwrath to attack the Thraddash and then racing to the Thraddash to tell them to attack the Kohr-Ah
  3. Freeing the Chmmr
  4. Bringing the Shofixti back from the brink of extinction
  5. Equipping the flagship with nothing but fuel modules and then visiting the Druuge to trick them into filling all of them
  6. Apologizing to the VUX until they couldn't take it anymore

One day I will be able to spell the species' names correctly without checking.

Playing the original Star Control on a Sega Genesis with my best friend.  We would spend hours playing this.

Second best memory would be Finally destroying the Sa-Matra in UQM.

Not bothering to sleep, eat, drink, or get out of my chair for an entire weekend until I had finished the game in one sitting is my strongest memory of Star Control.  Second would be the Orz, and having to learn their "Language".  The word "Dance" has been synonymous with "fight" for me ever since.

Oh, and changing the Ilwrath word for "warship" to "worship", for some reason that always stuck in my mind as being really cool.

To be young and stay up for days playing a video game to completion. Those were simpler times.
