Such a fantastic game. A short while back, I played the re-release of Star Control 2 since Toys For Bob made it open source.

You can pick and choose which sound/music packs you want to load with it, from either the PC or 3DO versions. I tried to keep it as close to the original PC settings for nostalgic reasons, but I highly enjoyed the 3DO voice acting! If you feel like cranking it up again, I recommend turning that feature on.

Heh, I remember this. My brother and I thought it was great that we could get Intellivision games for $5, but we were bummed that no new software was coming out. That's why as soon as the NES came out we saved up our allowances to get one.

Believe it or not, guys like Tod Frye are still around making games. He worked at 3DO a few years ago when I was there. Can you imagine how trippy that must be to go from writing games like Pac-Man on the 2600 all the way through to the current bleeding edge stuff?

Hah, yes Firefly! I'm glad I'm not the only one who actually bought a 3DO...there were some very good (and few/hard to find) titles for it such as Cyberia, Killing Time, Road Rash, Shockwave, and P'oed. The rest blew chunks...

Sadly, I blew $700 on a 3DO. I vowed never again to waste my cash on over-priced, disappointing consoles!

(runs off to find a PS3...)
