This game is one of the greatest accomplishments in gaming history. It's an artistic masterpiece in all aspects, visual, sound, gameplay etc. It proved to me that games can be complete artisic works like films or books. The VGA artwork continues to influence me still. Man, what a game!
I'm glad more people are getting around to checking out this absolute unit, pure artistic expression through so many devs, -masterpiece of a game. Used to get bummed out only seeing a paltry 2k views on these OSTs, which are absolutely one of the best parts of the game. Big thanks for sharing, big dog!
Pretty sure the Myconian starcraft is actually a refitted dwarf planet, planetoid, asteroid, small moon, or chunks of compressed spheroid planetary detritus leftover from their seeds of peace.
We glad campers think Mycon are most 'alien'. We must 'party' right now. You will be 'happy' when our 'fingers' will squeeze the 'juice'. We come to your house.
Why doesn't anyone make a movie or TV series based on Star Control... These aliens were better than on any scifi show out there. If it were Trek, all the Star Control aliens would like like humans with something on their forehead or between their eyes.
Budget is a big reason, but from a storytelling perspective, it's arguable that any alien being without a convergent evolutionary biology consisting of a face with two eyes and a mouth would probably prove difficult for general audiences to relate to. It is a challenge to get viewers to feel real emotion (whether positive or negative) towards other beings that don't share our physical traits, so it's harder to create dramatic themes around them. Not saying it's impossible, just awfully difficult. I would love a Star Control series more than anything in the world, but I think even if it were done fairly well it would probably just end up being a flop and get cancelled after a season or two like most sci-fi shows these days because the general expectation of television programming is about as stupid and uninteresting as the lowest common denominator of the people watching it.
anamnesis Also, in the case of the original Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry insisted that all the aliens look....real human. On the grounds that that was the only way "we would understand them." The only intelligent races to sort of diverge from this was that reptilian in one episode....and also the cat-people in the animated series (which was one of the few exceptions that he tolerated)
@toddjh Believe me, I remember the days of the original SoundBlaster, SoundBlack Pro, SB16, Pro Audio Spectrum 16, Gravis Ultrasound, etc and SC2 was in a league of its own when it came to music production. I doubt it wasn't influenced by the demo scene back then, also. The Future Crew and Triton were two of the best groups for composers and influenced TONS of future musicians. Hell, Purple Motion of The Future Crew composes and conducts actual symphonies today.
Ahhh Mycon. Teaching the perils of organic machinery and mindless adherence to tradition one battle at a time. My favorite race/ship in SC2 at the time I actually played it.

Thumbs up if the first thing you do after getting all the engines on your ship is head to Mycon space just to listen to these guys make their psychedelic comments with this music to the background
Doesn't help that most of the star trek aliens were made back in the 60's with costumes, they were kinda limited. Afterwards, they were kinda stuck with what they already made.
I had the pc version with no speech pack in, so we got to really appreciate the awesomeness of the soundtracks. In fact, when i play it again, i still disable the speech options from the 3dO
+Lord Juffowup I fail to understand something. So your base world type is 'volcanic sulphurous hellhole', because of the light and heat that is 'Juffo-Wup'. But you specifically look for life-bearing worlds to terraform via Deep Child, because of the 'nourishment in decay' bit. The two don't add up, because you're killing all the stuff you could grow from. Explain.
Juffo-wup. A great snack for those who love Jiff peanut butter but just can't get enough of cool whip. Juffo-wup. The sandwich spread kids love. Now in stores.
Here we have a True form Asari in its natural environment, pay special attention to the warm mood and the 6 Blue Tentacles and the inverted head shape.
The most abstract race, I find. It's terrifying how it's part of their agenda to terraform any living green worlds every green worlds into desolate lava words, kind of like ''Lavos''. Also the part of the music at 2:30 is pretty awesome, too bad I hardly ever got to hear it given their conversations tend to be short.
See this is what i want,weird bizzare aliens,not shit from star trek where they stick a piece of crap on a humans nose and call him/her an alien,its an imagined universe so why not make it exotic and strange.
Yeah both babylon 5 and farscape did a much better job of showing some greater variety of aliens. I mean, a lot of them were still humanoid but at least there were some truly weird ones too.

I know your post is old, but I hope in the last two years you've learned what "ahead of its time" means. Ahead of its time means something is not appreciated when released, and the value is only seen after the fact. But with SC2 that was not the case, people thought it was a great game then and people still think it's a great game now.
@Jallandhara Well, yes, but this really was technically amazing at the time, especially the music. Up until this point, unless you were one of the people who shelled out $600 for a Roland MT-32, pretty much all games just had crappy FM synthesis at best. Even wavetable MIDI was still in the future at that point. Then all of a sudden there was a game that sounded completely unlike anything we'd heard before, even on the PC speaker. It blew everything else away and really raised the bar.
2:26 - Sure, we're homicidal space mushrooms cultists, but we still like to groove.

When Juffo-Wup is complete, when at last there is no Void or Non, when the Creators return, then we can finally rest.
Easily my favorite song in the game. It's just so empty but at the same time, mysterious, and foreign.
Beginning: Eerie and robotic
Middle: Pretty nice tune
Near-ending: Banger fungus music
I don't think my insane conversations with the Mycon ever got to 80% of this song. It's like talking to a mushroom.
Hmm... I wonder why...
They are technically mushrooms if you think about it.
@@marioghernandez4960 well... they are.

I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to the other guy. Sorry if you were confused.
You are the Non, who must become Juffo-Wup or Void.

This game was SO ahead of its time, and the music was too. Fantastic stuff, thanks so much for posting these! 5/5
still true
The Mycon really creep me out. The most "alien" alien there ever was. I hope no violent action ensues because of my comment.

Alabama is currently building space ships as we speak to find these creatures and commune with Juffo-wup.
When did anyone stay around conversing long enough to hear the entirety of this track?
Is it me or is this theme music a lot more interesting than those for the other races? I never noticed the neat shifts in this one before.
Finally someone that respects the awesomeness of the you-are-alone mycon mushroom thougt. thank you.
_Juffo-Wupping intensifies_
I play this all the time (Star Control 2) I replay it so much.
"This is good."
One of the best songs from the game. I love it.
Either he’s absolutely humongous or those are just mini volcanoes.

Honestly, that looks more like a green screen effect than anything else.
@@spongeintheshoe actually its most likely a prerecorded video of a deep child terraforming a planet, so about 50/50 yes and no

The Juffo-Wup is strong in this one.
@Jallandhara: One of the greatest graphical settings also I believe. zomg getting all sentimental here
Mycon 4 life. The weight of the brief talks and the inevitable outcome.
2:18-3:19 is the best bit.
Terence McKenna was right when he said the mushroom spoke to him...and that it came to Earth through spacefaring spores
Mycon ships seem to have melta'like homing weapons.
They instakill any ship at close range, but don't do as much damage at long range.
I wonder how many people thought the race was called Juffle-Wup because they mentioned it quite a lot….
@lewsdiod Very yes! My brother and I were addicted to star control and sc2. Computer gaming back then was amazing.
Here we have a True form Asari in its natural environment, pay special attention to the warm mood and the 6 Blue Tentacles and the inverted head shape.
