Oh wow yeah Star Control was fun. Very tedious and HUGE as I recall. Back in the old days is when I took up computer programming, to program games like these old ones.. memories for sure!
I made a side scroller game where you could do all the cool moves (run, jump, crouch, crawl and even a spin attack. The prizes were pretzels, gummy bears, soda cans and money, lol. Ran pretty good on an IBM XT class which was no small feat to do with real wave sounds and in color. Shame that real life had to impose itself and I had to get a "real" job..humbug
