The play experience is also far from perfect; many graphical and control glitches remain to be fixed. That said, it's possible to get all the way to the final battle if you save often to protect against the occasional crash. The final battle itself is unwinnable due to collision-detection issues. <p> <b>Editorial comment:</b> This is so cool. Star Control 2 is one of the top 10 Best Games Ever. --bobz The Ur-Quan Masters 0.1b new The Ur-Quan Masters
