is this the same 'StarControl' from Sega Genesis?

I remember playing around 1991-1993 StarControl on Genesis & it being ship VS ship
1v1 in space.

*My only memory is a ship that fired plakton like spores and it would effect my ships steering & after 10 minutes i crahed into a planet from Planest gravity...
Goodtimes!!! Same exact time we played ToeJam & Earl..

just curious if this is a continuation of that

Well it's not the *same* Star Control. But it is part of the same series. :)

coool....yeah that's what i meant....
the word 'series' eluded me...probably from the same smoke that had us laughing in 1991 @ smashing into a planet cause the plankton nullified the ability to steer free of gravity ;)

~~You enjoying is Drahinol?

It's more like Star Control 2 which greatly improved on SC1

You played Star Control (the original) which was mostly a space combat melee game with an additional strategy overlay game that a lot of people ignored. A few years later the same team made Star Control 2, which kept the starship melee concept but wrapped it into an space exploration adventure game that is highly regarded.

There was a Star Control 3, but we don't talk about it. All I can say is that it was slightly better then Masters of Orion 3.....slightly

This is a spirtual sequel set into a different universe but using similiar mechanics to SC2.

It's a reimagining made by different people, but it plays much the same as the old.
