alcurnio: Is FTL worth? I like space-theme games and I do not know about how playable is this one... :/
It's brutal and addictive, like any good roguelike. If you've got the patience to learn and improve with every play, then I highly recommend it.

Kamamura: Once again, the free remake Ur Quan Masters is much superior to the original Star Control 2. As I just found out, even a HD version exists.

odbo255: But the nostalgia! The nostalgia is why you purchase a REALLY old game. it's just not the same playing a (even superior) remake.
Well, I play old games only in case they have superior gameplay compared to the modern ones, which they often do.

However, if somebody bothers to use the old content and develop a better running version, with less bugs, better controls and better gameplay, I will always prefer it.

It's the same as Transport Tycoon - OpenTTD is so vastly superior that I would not touch the original anymore.

But that does not help games new to this.

The reason for new games should be the free superior version may be incompatible with window 9, 10 , 11 or such due to it is free, GOG will have to make it work because they are paid

Pidgeot: With one of these

Or one of these

On other consoles, I think you just move a cursor and press the A button.

Right, have played UQM on linux, still bought StarControl (for this price) just to try it out.

Has Zork been that fast? Just remember Hitman having a few copies, than work called and next I could grab was Heretic ...

Nah...just a version of Fallout that is completely revamped and updated with modern graphics. Wasteland 2 seems to follow the pattern of "lets put out new versions of old games". It looks good, but not sure how good it is as I did not get in on the kickstarter plan and refuse to pay $60 to Steam for it.

Star Control 2 on the 3DO is superior to UQM.
