well, honestly, I'm not sure what would have done justice to the Syreen. I was also disappointed by the Syreen, who sounds like Doris Day rather than. The Talking Pet is the worst, with some ridiculous southern "Joe Sixpack" accent.

For some reason, they decided the Shofixti was a bad English translator of a 1970s Japanese kung-fu movie the Orz, Spathi, and Utwig are just annoying and the Umgah is the stuff of nightmares. Some of the voices are good: I appreciate the Vaderesque bass of the Ur-Quan, the lispy enthusiasm of the Pik, and the weird Scottish accent the creators gave to the Yehat. There's really just too much dialogue overall. I'm not sure I would have liked it better. (My understanding is that the open-source Ur-Quan Masters would use some of this voiced dialogue but re-record others.) Some readers encouraged me to play this version specifically because of the voices.

It has an animated, narrated introduction and cut scenes plus voiced dialogue for the conversations. Still, after 25 years, one or two more won’t hurt.The 3DO version from 1994 has some significant differences from the DOS version. No word on when we might expect to see anything, but it’s safe to say it won’t be for a while. “We are early, early in development, but rest assured, the game will include genuine Ur-Quan, Precursors, Super-Melee, Umgah, VUX, Supox, THE ULTRON!, Druuge, Arilou Lalee’lay, Orz, Androsynth, Rainbow Worlds, Ilwrath, Syreen, Mmrnmhrm, Yehat, Shofixti, Spathi (including the ever-terrified Fwiffo), Umgah, Melmorme, Chmmr, Earthlings, Mycon, THE MARK II!, Slylandro, Utwig, Thraddash, Zoq-Fot-Pik, VUX Beast, Pkunk, the Keel-Verezy, and of course all new alien races to discover, befriend …and/or be annigilate… I mean annihigate. It looks like it may drop Star Control from its name, as Atari seems to still own that IP, but it does look like the alien races you love and loathe will be present. Well, the stars have finally aligned – we are now working on a direct sequel to Star Control II – The Ur-Quan Masters, called Ghosts of the Precursors.“ Our answer was always, “We really want to do this, we just need to wait until the time is right” – kind of like Cthulhu awakening, but less end-of-the-worldy. “Pretty much ever since then, fans have been politely asking us to create a sequel, sometimes begging for a sequel, even threatening us if we don’t make a sequel. It’ll be a direct sequel to Star Control II, called Ghosts of the Precursors. We had tons of help from many talented friends and collaborators, but even so getting the game across the finish line was a herculean effort - both the exciting, hydra-fighting kind, as well as the exhausting stable-cleaning kind.”
We poured our hearts into the game, blending our love for classic science fiction, Spacewar!-style action gameplay and our own quirky sense of humor.
“It was almost exactly 25 years ago that we released Star Control II – The Ur-Quan Masters for DOS PCs. Now, 25 years later, Fred ford and Paul Reiche III have announced that they are making an official sequel.
#STAR CONTROL 2 ANDROSYNTH SERIES#
Developed without any input from designers Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III from Toys for Bob, most fans don’t consider it part of the series canon. While Star Control 3 was an able demonstration of computer graphics technology of the time, it went a little backwards in its integration of the series alien races, and poor combat modes. Similarly, there are not enough words to convey sufficiently how disappointing the game’s sequel was. There are not enough words to explain how influential Star Control II was, or exactly why it is still considered one of the best games ever made.
