Experience the award-winning space saga. Travel to hyperspace, discover alien worlds, and meet an eclectic cast of characters. Find out what happened after the Ur-Quan invasion. And if the war still rages, fight for Earth and the Alliance of Free Stars!

This a slightly spruced up version of the free The Ur-Quan Masters. However, far as I understand it, it is provided by the original makers of Star Control II (that have since lost the IP).

Description from Steam:

    Fuck yes! The was one of my favorite games when I was much younger.

    Online PvP now? Wow. Prodigy was still in its heyday when I was playing this.

    Literally everyone alive should download and play this game. The music slaps harder than ya mama and it’s one of the best open world games ever made while having come out in nineteen-ninety-goddamn-two.

    Also give a search for UQM MegaMod.

    Man-made HD graphics, and a bunch of optional QoL options. It’s fantastic!
