Star Control 2: The best PC game of all time

My first entry into this personal gaming hall of fame would have to be Star Control 2. It was the most involving and most gratifying game on the computer I have ever played. Despite the advances in 3D technology and processing power, nothing has come close to provide total immersion in a universe as much as this game. And believe it or not, it's all packed within 10-15MB of data. The characters were well developed and interesting. The universe seemed full of life and history. The interactive dialog and accompanying music was amazing. Too bad Star Control 3 never quite reached the same level of achievement. Nowadays, 15MB couldn't buy enough textures for a 3D game. It was all developed on sheer inspiration. Kudos to Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III for creating this masterpiece.
