Stardock Tried To Make Star Control, Master of Orion Sequels 125
Gamasutra reports on comments from Stardock CEO Brad Wardell in which he described his efforts to revive two old but popular franchises: Star Control and Master of Orion. Quoting:
"'I actually pitched Atari on a whole idea for a true successor to Star Control,' [he said], noting that the game would follow original series developer Toys for Bob's Star Control II rather than the Legend Entertainment-developed Star Control 3 ('We just pretend that never happened,' the CEO says of that release). ... Novato, California-based Toys for Bob has actually floated the idea of making its own Star Control II sequel, with co-creator Paul Reiche III indicating he has tossed potential design ideas around, but with the company now owned by publisher Activision the proposal seems to be stuck in limbo."

Like Star Control II was such a great game. Who the hell on slashdot even remembers it?

I thought Star Craft 2 wasn't out yet.

Heh. For the past 10 years I've named all my workstations at work after Star Control; I've named machines "kohrah", "kzerza" (fittingly those two were in service at the same time running x2x between them), "chenjesu", "earthling", and "pkunk". So far I haven't been masochistic enough to name one "mmrnmhrm". I'm pretty sure my next machine will be either "arilou" or "shofixti".
And can I be the only person who consistently misreads the title "The Drudge Report" as "The Druuge Report"?
