Game Description

Star Control is a science-fiction wargame which plunks you in the 27th century and asks you to join forces with the Alliance of Free Stars to defend the galaxy against the Ur-Quan Hierarchy - seven alien races which have come together to form an evil empire whose objective is control of nothing less than the entire universe (cue maniacal laughter).

When playing, you can choose from practice, a melee where you put seven ships against your opponent's seven and engage in one-on-one dogfights until one of the players loses all their ships, or a full game where you choose from one of several scenarios and engage in a combination of strategic play and acrade-style combat. Play is divided in turns.

You may wage war against a human opponent or the computer. ~ Brad Cook, All Game Guide
