Star Control is a science-fiction wargame that pits the forces of the alliance of Free Stars against those of the predatory Ur-Quan Hierarchy . The games are designed to allow you to ease into play, familiarizing yourself with menus, options and player controls. The alliance and Hierarchy each possess different types of warships. Each vessel has its own maneuvering and firing characteristics, plus a unique special power that you can employ when circumstances dictate.
The game features two modules: the Melee, in which you can simply blast the computer or another player to destruction using one of 16 different ships, in either Hierarchy or fleets; or, should you wish for a more challenging game, lets you play one of 9 preset scenarios.
Star Control was released on the Sega Genesis in 1991 and is a classic example of a science-fiction strategy game. The game's blend of exploration, resource management and warfare has made it a beloved title among retro gamers.
