Star Control (1990) Accolade MS-DOS

[@KimRobinson-middle-initial-R]

I remember playing this for hours and days. I am sure people today would think it is lame, but I loved it.

[@Ace1000ks]

People who didn't live through it will never understand it.

[@GrrrRu]

It really took hours to beat some opponents )))

[@Rapanui5]

For some weird reason the PC speaker version sounded WAY much better than the adlib version. It's the only case I know where this happens.

[@Ace1000ks]

I thought Adlib sounded better.

[@Gumplayer2]

man, I had played it with my friend on his 386sx machine... Thas was so cool...

[@Ace1000ks]

I like playing against other people. It was a bit awkward playing against another playing using the same keyboard.

[@Gumplayer2]

@@Ace1000ks o man, we played some games for 3 players (6 hands) on one keyboard

[@katlianik]

Good win at the end :)

So on sc 1 DOGIs persist until they're destroyed, even after the Chenjesu mothership is taken out? Interesting!

The best way to use ilwrath

[@Ace1000ks]

Looks like it.

[@marioghernandez4960]

I remember the audio sounding different.

[@Ace1000ks]

Star Control was ported to many different systems from the Sega Genesis to the MS-DOS. You also have different sound configurations on the PC as well.

[@marioghernandez4960]

Ace1000ks1975 And how can you change the sound configurations?

[@Ace1000ks]

For the PC? Type in the .exe file and behind that type in /a for adlib, etc. I don't remember actually, it has been
28 years.

[@marioghernandez4960]

Ace1000ks1975 Adlib uses the original version's sounds, right?

[@Ace1000ks]

I don't think so, they had PC speaker sound and a few others as well.

[@Alianger]

What sound card is that?

[@Ace1000ks]

Adlib.

[@Alianger]

@@Ace1000ks It's obviously sample-based, not adlib

[@Ace1000ks]

@@Alianger It is Dosbox 0.74 emulating a Adlib.

[@Alianger]

@@Ace1000ks I see, well there must be some bug with this particular game then.

I loved this game man. Wasn’t there an alien that would curse you out as he was shooting at you? Calling you a twit lol?

[@Ace1000ks]

That alien that teleports?

[@Arilou_Wyvern]

You're thinking of the Pkunk Fury, an alien ship from the sequel. When you activate its secondary ability, it utters insults (twit, loser, worm, etc.), which produce "psychic emanations" that restore the ship's energy reserves.
Fun fact: Co-creator Fred Ford voiced those insults.
