Star Control 2

[wqcr]

Anyone remember this?

Released in 1992 for DOS, 3DO and OSX.

It can be considered as predecessor to Mass Effect series. Huge game in terms of star systems, weapons, equipment, etc.

I'd say perfect candidate for RGD

Yeah, except from what I remember, it wasn't even close to obscure... Almost every gamer I've ever met has either played it, or known someone that had.

*Happy campers* are right to like the game, but it's not obscure.

It regularly shows up on top games lists, the fandom is loyal, the remake is faithfully done and freely available, and it hasn't aged too badly since it's got pixel graphics and great music.
