Star Control III

This game is a huge nostalgia trip for me, seeing as I originally purchased it on CD-ROM in I think 1996. My younger siblings and I used to spend hours battling each other in melee mode, and I have always enjoyed the witty dialogue options when speaking to other characters. Also, I think some of the K'Tang "vocabulary" has made it into my permanent lexicon ("technography", "crushify", "ulferior"... just to name a few).

Every bit as bad as they said.

9 year old me was so proud I figured this game out and beat it. It was one of the first PC games I played. I haven't tried the others Star Control games but I will! This one is a banger.

OD'd on Benadryl and watched the Muppets until I fainted. It was only when I regained consciousness that I realized I was lucid the entire time and was just playing Star Control III

Pretty much the best release of StarControl, hands down, in my opinion. Exploration, conflict, hillarious situations, and of course, the UrQuan back again to make problems!

OMG i am so happy that this game is available here on steam! this was one of the very first games i ever played on a computer, and THE very first game that got me completely sucked into. i know many ppl out there think that only the previous games are good etc, but really - this is a enjoyable game! such nice characters, voice acting and a great story! it is a very old game, and up to no recent standards, but if you keep the time in mind this gem was created, you can probably have a great time with it! i am looking forward till it is installed and then i am up to finally meet some old friends of mine again ^^ THANK YOU STEAM!! (ok, now i find out that you need to actually play the game for 5 minutes to write a review... makes totally sense, but steam, if you only knew, that i have dozens and dozens of hours playtime in this game... ^^)

This game would have been a complete failure without the previous Star Control 2. It massively capitalises and copy&pastes from his predecessor. It is bugged heavily and you can get stuck very easy. The only solution is a complete restart with no guarantee that you wont get stuck again because of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ scribted time dependant events. The colony building system doesn't work either, the new colonies don't produce anything at all even if you haul 100ks of RUs to them and build them up completely. Summary is this game should have never been released in this state at all and the bugs should have been fixed many years ago. It is just a waste of time and money. DON'T BUY THIS CRAP! Go play SC2 ot SC: Origins instead.

Nostalgia central. Love this game.

Been playing this since I was in 10th grade! Great game, yes I know that the die hard SCII crowd has some problems with it. But the game in its format has a cool sense of wonder and exploration to it that I have rarely found in any other series. Also the trippy video scenes still tickle me, and look good even compared to more modern games. This game truly gives you the experience of being "in the cartoon" if that makes any sense.

Good game to pass time with
