Contact 100 different people that know quite a bit about the history of gaming, ask them about their top 10 of "best games ever", and you will hear about this game a *lot*.. The game that still stands the test of time, even 13 years after it's initial release. It's one of a kind, you'll have trouble finding a game that is quite like it, and best of all, it's free, and is updated to work on modern system. I'm talking about The Ur-Quan Masters, a port of the 3DO version of Star Control 2. According to many people who played it, this is one of the best games ever made, on any system.
In The Ur-Quan Masters, you start out with a ship of unknown power, of an unknown alien race. You see, a few Earthlings have crashlanded on an alien planet, where they found an underground factory for making starships, built by an ancient race of again unknown power. Throughout the universe, these ancient aliens are known under the name of "The Precursors". Now, it's your job to return back to Earth, and help the Earthlings win the war against the evil, predatory Ur-Quan, which thrive to either encorporate alien races into their own army, or enslave them if they don't want to. However, things aren't what they seem, and when you reach Earth, there's a surprise for you.
