- Yeah this is the one to avoid, the graphics bite even on the IBM. For both
- I and II. For II it wa like someone said, HEY! Heres stuff they left out
- of one, lets just throw it in! That'll sell.
-
- No control improvement. no combat improvement. Same game said bad graphics,
- almost NO sound support but It was really fun to play if you got into that
- sort O' thing.
-
- If you want to play a super enhanced version of SF bust out Star Control II
- for the IBMs, it is truely awesome! great sound. great graphics, real
- starcontrol style combat and even better writing than the SF series!
