Hmmm I said Star Control... or was it Starflight? or Starcraft? Which one's which? I mean the one where you are looking for this "fuel"-planet, with the "Spemin" and could catch and scan alien lifeforms.
and there's the one, where you conquer planets in a solarsystem and build a fleet and fight 1 vs 1. With the kamikaze-rodent...

Fwiffo the cowardly Spathi captain, Earth put under red Ur-Quan Slave Shield, lots of planets to explore? Sounds like Star Control 2. The remake at http://sc2.sourceforge.net/ is made from the original code and graphics, mix&matched from different versions to get best graphics and speech, but due to copyright issues it's called The Ur-Quan Masters. |

Hmmm. Originals are probably only available used. Looks like there's a remake 'Archon: Evolution' ( http://archon.curvenet.co.uk/ ), an unmaintained XArchon project ( http://xarchon.seul.org/news.html )... and a Quake 3: Arena version (! http://brazen.planetquake.gamespy.com/arq/about.shtml )

Re: Favorite games
Ahhh, what a list. Some of those games brings back memories.
My current playlist of favourites are:
1. Age of Wonders Shadow Magic (patched and modded). This is my all-time favourite game and the game I keep going back to.
The rest are in no particular order...
Dominions 3
Advanced Tactics
Call of Duty 4
Sins of a Solar Empire
Battle for Wesnoth
Knights of Honour
Galactic Civilisations
Star Wars Empire at War
Past favourites have included:
Chaos Overlords (does this still run on modern computers?)
Stars! (I played this for years)
Dungeon Keeper (why didn't they make version 3)

Re: Favorite games
How is Sins of a Solar Empire? It looks interesting, but rather challenging.
