amazing graphics for the time, never really had the patience to play it in a linear rpg way. remember enjoying the hell out of the meelee mode though. all the evil alien races are really cool, so are the kamikaze racoon/monkey things. the cart had something like a 70$ price tag long before sf2 came out on the genesis. now you can find it at flea markets for less than 2$ because it'll only run on genesis's made after 1991 with a swap. kinda sad to see it lumped together with millions of copies of budokahn and phantasy star 3 though as it is a really good game. wish i could remember the name of the old macintosh/wwiv door space conquest game that it's loosely based on. also, cool as star control may be, star flight is way better
