~THE_FUR-QUAN_MASTERS
Greetings, Captain! You have arrived at THE_FUR-QUAN_MASTERS, FA's "official" page for anything related to Star Control and The Ur-Quan Masters! Feel free to look around and ask any questions that come to mind!
WHAT IS STAR CONTROL/THE UR-QUAN MASTERS???
Star Control (SC1) is a very fantastic sci-fi strategy game for DOS, made by Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III of Toys For Bob http://www.toysforbob.com/ (creators of Skylanders). It puts you in control of two opposing alien factions, the Alliance of Free Stars, and the evil Ur-Quan Hierarchy, who are engaged in a huge stellar war!
Star Control II (SCII or SC2) is a much more story-driven game than Star Control, and it multiplies the original game's awesomeness factor by at least 10! You are Zelnick, a human captain who must pilot a vessel of ancient alien technology around the galaxy in an effort to rid the Ur-Quan threat from our section of the galaxy!
The Ur-Quan Masters is a fan-made port of SC2 to modern operating systems, so that you can play it on today's computers! It's essentially the exact same game, but with added features such as remixed music and voice acting!
The world/galaxy of Star Control is one of the greatest worlds ever imagined by any human... and it is a MUST-PLAY for any fan of retro-gaming (and heck, any other gamer, too!)
WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THESE GAMES?
Star Control and Star Control II are both available for purchase at http://www.gog.com/gamecard/star_control_1_2
The Ur-Quan Masters is available FOR FREE at http://sc2.sourceforge.net/downloads.php Keep in mind that this version includes added features such as voice acting and a new remixed soundtrack. These new features are both very awesome but I would also suggest playing the game with these features disabled, so you can get the same feel as the original SC2!
WAS THERE A STAR CONTROL 3?
Yes. But it was made by a different company. And it wasn't very good.
I'M ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH THE STAR CONTROL UNIVERSE... IS THERE ANY AWESOME NEWS I SHOULD BE AWARE OF?
Absolutely!!!
First, a High-Def mod of The Ur-Quan Masters was just released on Dec 31, 2012! http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur.....;v=2PUsLMSLam0 You can download it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/urquanmastershd/ Please keep in mind, though, that the only resolutions currently supported are 320x240 and 1280x960. (Support for 640x480 is coming soon!)
But wait, we have even MORE amazing news!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?featur.....;v=lQBQYi88AAI There is a fan-made sequel to SC2 in the works right now, and it's called Project 6014! A demo has already been released, which you can download here: http://code.google.com/p/project601.....Downloads?tm=2 By the way, I've had my own peek into the development process of this awesome project, and I just want to tell you that the final product is going to be very.... very.... awesome.... A release date hasn't been set yet, but it will almost certainly be in 2013!!!

Star Control Music in Courage the Cowardly Dog???
10 years ago
Wow, this was quite a find! I just discovered that the official Precursors' remix of the Utwig theme... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iabgA0TA6Fk
…..was used in the Courage the Cowardly Dog episode, "Courage Under the Volcano" (second half of S03E13).
Skip to 14:30! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-0ALpTOLDA
From what I can tell, the Star Control Precursors Remixes aren't under copyright, so the usage is legal, and frankly I think it's pretty cool (although I was disappointed not to see it in the credits).
Something to note…. whenever I find Courage episodes on YouTube, they don't seem to last long before being taken down, so you might want to hurry and check this out before it's taken down too.
Anyway, enjoy this little Easter egg while the link lasts!
(Uhh……… by the way……, some of you might be aware of a recent development that's occurred in the realm of Star Control…. I realize that an update on that is vastly overdue, and I promise to post a journal about it by the end of the week! If I don't, someone please go to my account (
Dyandod) and start yelling at me. I'd appreciate it.)
