Ever play Impossible Mission 2?
Yeah, that game was a bit watered down for my tastes. Didn't like the "new" graphics too much either, and I never could understand what you had to do to win. I ran out of "recording" tape before finishing all the towers and I think I was supposed to play them all in the central hub but it never worked :P

It's actually the same game, right? Or are there differences?

I heard that some guys were getting together to produce a StarControl 3 which has absolutely nothing to do with the "official" SC3 (which sucked beyond any reasonable capacity to report). I haven't checked their site for months, but I think that they had progressed to the "alpha" stage, or thereabouts. Perhaps not.

Oh and I second Master of Orion 2. Of them both, Moo2 is the one I enjoyed the most.

Same game as the 3DO version, which is the same as the PC version really. I think it got Talkie also. They started with the 3DO source code and ported it to Windows, now they're trying to change a few features that were better in the PC version (like the way you save games).

Yeah, it IS the 3DO version, and it's awesome, so many memories....anyway, I STRONGLY suggest you get it. They are also doing some customer game content, as I understand it. That is SO going to PWN! I just got pwned by those goddamned crystal guys. they took out Vindicator, too, and I haven't saved for like 2 hours. Fuck me running.

Oh. Someone point me to a cheat that allows tyou to beef up the number of people on board the earth space station.

I was able to beat the game, part of the trick was getting good enough at the sound boards to win Snoozes. Also, after a while you could remember how to put the jigsaw puzzles together.

That game is still out ther if you know where to look.

Well, I don't think it's a good idea to post download links publicly.
