I have never actually played a Star Control game and was wondering what would be the best place to start. I\ve seen a site somewhere along the way of an upgraded version of Star Control 2? Not sure if it was finished or not. Is the original fine to play.. any suggestions.. is the first one good or the 3rd.. i've only really heard that the second one is the better of the lot.

I personally prefer the original Star Control 2, though the SUPAR UPGRADED ONE is here:

The "new" verison was based on the source code for the 3D0 version. It thus has full voice work, apparently.

There's probably a full list of changes somewhere on the site, but last I heard, one of the big changes is that no one tells you about the time limit, even though the time limit still exists.
