Star Control II	Accolade (Toys For Bob)	1992	The story mode is purely singleplayer, but the melee is playable by 1-2 human players.*I split SC2 and Ur-Quan Masters... no real reason other than [game=#162327]Ur-Quan Masters[/game] isn't the name of the original and the open source game doesn't have Star Control in its name, also UQM is ported to wider variety of systems, wasn't developed (the code, I mean, not the game content) and published by the same people, etc. etc.Directly from the manual: The gameplay takes place 20 years after the great war of Star Control I. This time, your mission is to explore and liberate the various alien races and planets in the different star systems and take part in action filled space battles. Super Melee: A bonus game in which you take part in spaceship to spaceship combat with the choice of 28 different starships. Challenge a friend or the computer.**One of my favorite games. Good news everyone! You can play StarCon2 with slightly updated graphics (from the 3DO port) and remixed music on Windows (also, MacOS X and Linux)! Toys For Bob released the source code for StarCon2 and a dedicated team is working hard porting it to modern PCs. The project is opensource, that means you can download it for FREE! Did you hear that? FREE! Check here for details: [[link:http://sc2.sourceforge.net/]] [cjlee001]
Flashback	Delphine Software	1993
Reaping the Dungeon	Frontline Software	1993	Dungeon Rogue is pretty much the same game with updated title screen mentioning how to get free copy of episode 2 (and I find the method ridiculous). It also comes with Windows installer even though the game is as much a DOS game as it ever was.**[b]Minimum:[/b] DOS 3.0 * 286 CPU * 490k free conventional memory***Rather unusual Roguelike in my experience, with the Sci-Fi setting and constant search for oxygen sources lest you suffocate, it was strangely refreshing change to what I was playing at the time.
Space Crusade	Gremlin Graphics	1993
Space Hulk	Electronic Arts	1993	Cleanse and Burn. Confirmed Genestealer infestation on the hulk. Launch 100 Space Marines. Beholden to our honour, prepare for death. The year is 2 247 989 M41. Join the Space Marine Warriors from the Dark Angels Chapter of the Legiones Astartes as they battle the Genestealer hordes, a terrifying race who travel in derelict vessels known as space hulks. Power up your Terminator Armor. You're going in.*CD-ROM version [22]* [22]* [59]1994 CD-ROM version [37]**Original floppy disk version [37]
Wing Commander Academy	Origin (Origin Systems)	1993
Wing Commander: Privateer	Origin Systems;Electronic Arts (Origin Systems)	1993	They also released a mission-disk titled "Righteous Fire" and an slightly enhanced CD-Version (full speech), which included the mission-disk.
Frontier: Elite II	Gametek;Konami (Gametek)	1993
Star Trek: Judgment Rites	Interplay	1993	Sequel to the award-winning Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, Judgment Rites brings back the entire Enterprise crew in 8 all new episodes. Strange things are happening in distant space, such as dead planets spawning life and WW1 planes in outer space. You need to survive these situations. You must navigate your way through space, and send away teams onto planets to investigate situations, communicate with other characters and solve puzzles. Unlike the previous game, action sequences are optional. It's an even better and longer sequel to 25th Anniversary. Although gameplay remains the same (after all, it's a prudent "don't fix it if it ain't broke" philosophy), the plot this time is more complex and puzzles more difficult, which means that "optimal" solution is less obvious. Unfortunately, frustrating combat is also back, and dialogues are tedious at times. It's still a great game, however, and worthy of every adventurer's collection.* [22][media=youtube]pFuHkRlvLBM[/media]** [37]
Backlash: A Turret Gunner Simulation	Sanctuary Software Studio	1994	You're in control of the aft turret of a starship and your job is to protect it on its flight through space from Dirians. Playable either with joystick or mouse or keyboard, though keyboard combined with either joystick or mouse is optimal.
Captain Bible in Dome of Darkness	Bridgestone Multimedia	1994	During installation, the user has the option of censoring Bible verses dealing with "marriage, divorce, and fornication" from appearing in the game. The user can also chose that only a single version of the Bible be available, rather than having King James, New International Version, Revised Standard Version, and The Living Bible available to choose during the game. The user also has the option of removing all actions and references dealing with combat (with Deception Cyber robots) except the end-game sequence that includes an explosion. But the user is warned that removing combat removes action, makes the game easier and less fun.
Nomad	Gametek (Intense! interactive;Papyrus)	1994	I've had this game ever since its launch date in 1993 and 9 years later, I still can't stay away from it. It's a great game. [cyberdragon75]
Privateer: Righteous Fire	Origin Systems;Electronic Arts (Origin Systems)	1994
Return to Ringworld	Tsunami Media	1994	This is a sequel to the previous Ringworld game based on Larry Niven's "Known Space" series of novels. Once again this game is a point and click adventure/puzzle solving game. After saving the puppeteer race from extermination and uncovering some powerful ancient technology on the first game, Quinn, Seeker of Vengeance and Miranda Rees find themselves searches as fugitives by all three major species, so they go to Ringworld to hide. Once in Ringworld they'll try to uncover some evidence to clear their names, but they stumble across another universe-threatening plot. This time U.N. general Carson Teal is out to rule the universe by uncovering Ringworld's secrets, and you must stop him. This game is way, WAY bigger than it's predecessor, with hundreds of screens, mazes, etc. Plus you get to play as all three characters throughout the game, a la Day of the Tentacle. It's available in both floppy and cd versions (which adds full speech).*** [22]
