The Ur-Quan Masters has come to Steam! Happy days and Jubilation!

Originally called Star Control II: The Ur-Quan Masters, this is a game from my childhood which still holds up well today. The space battle part of the game is engaging enough on its own, but the full game is a sprawling open-ended adventure which will take several hours to complete, even if you know what you're doing. I already know all the tricks and secrets, and I wish I could neuralyze myself to be able to play this game as a first-time player again.

Of note, this is not the original 1992 game, nor a port of the 3DO version of the game, but a community-remastered version to allow it to work on modern systems and use the best aspects of both previous versions -- including the 3DO's (cringey) voice-acting -- as well as rock-solid netplay. You can tell this is a beloved game by the fact this community-remastered version even exists.

If you've never played this game, well, I envy you. Go play it! Go play it now! And if you haven't played the game since its original release, you may want to check out what the remaster has to offer.
