''[[Star Control]]'' is a series of [[Shoot Em Ups|shoot-'em-up]]/ActionAdventure games built around space battles modelled on but expanded from ''[[Space War]]''.
Line 15:
All three ''Star Control'' games are available from Good Old Games (www.gog.com). An excellent -- and ''free'' -- port of ''Star Control II'' to modern systems, called ''The Ur-Quan Masters'', is also available [http://sc2.sourceforge.net from this page]. [[But Wait! There's More!]] A [[Fan Sequel]] to ''Star Control 2'', called ''Project 6014'', is being developed [http://code.google.com/p/project6014/ here].

▲=== The original ''Star Control'' provides examples of: ===
* [[All There in the Manual]]: The story is never explained in-game.
* [[Artificial Human|Artificial Humans]]: The Androsynth.
Line 57 ⟶ 55:
* [[You Require More Vespene Gas]]: [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|Starbucks]], generated via mining colonies and Starbases.
== Tropes A - F ==
* [[Absolute Xenophobe]]: The Kohr-Ah cannot feel safe or secure while a single member of a single other sentient species survives. Their trauma runs too deep.
Line 398 ⟶ 396:
== Tropes ==
* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: All Ploxis names seem to start with "pl".
Line 423 ⟶ 421:
* [[Retcon]]: The intro tells you that instead of simply being unconscious from being caught in Sa-Matra's explosion, your character was briefly transported into the future to see the Eternal Ones killing everyone.
* [[Re Lex]]: Apparently all alien languages are relexes of English, as {{spoiler|the Precursor tells you that "all races who developed mathematics" had the confusion between "Eternal Ones" and "Eternal1".}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: ICOM, your onboard hint machine, looks ''exactly'' like [[2001: A Space Odyssey (Film)|HAL 9000]]. Lampshaded, too, in one of the Captain's responses.
* [[Simpleton Voice]]: The Doogs speak in one.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: One of the weapons of the Daktaklakpak Vivisector.
