Play Star Control II Online

Star Control II came out in 1992 for MS-DOS, developed by Toys for Bob. It was a space adventure game from that era, built on a foundation of exploration and conversation, where you piloted a single ship through a vast, open galaxy filled with strange and often humorous alien species.

You control the captain of a lone Earth vessel, tasked with uniting scattered alien races against a domineering enemy. Gameplay involves navigating star systems screen by screen, engaging in real-time, top-down ship combat, and conversing with aliens to gather information, trade resources, or trigger new story events. The pacing is deliberate, with a significant focus on discovery and dialogue, though combat encounters can be brutally difficult and require careful ship management. It feels like slowly unraveling a massive, interconnected story where every conversation and every battle matters.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
