The Star Control franchise still stands as my favorite game universe, and the one which single-handedly sparked my interest in digital sound and electronic music. The second title in the series became a PC gaming hallmark, partly due to its eclectic and innovative soundtrack. By taking advantage of digital sound modules rather than more expensive MIDI technology, it brought a unique quality of music even to gamers without dedicated sound cards by allowing for the playback of sophisticated audio patterns even on the tiny unamplified internal speakers that came with most computers.To hear these amazing sounds alongside such an epic and fun interactive adventure was a milestone in my experience growing up playing computer games, and I've always wanted to expand on the themes explored in this rich story of interstellar exploration.In many science fiction stories, we generally see aliens portrayed by people in makeup mostly due to budgetary restraints, but the aliens in these games were so imaginative and biologically varied that it made me all the more curious about the different forms of life that could inhabit the universe. In addition to a whole host of aliens inspired by animals we're familiar with, there were also sentient crystals, ambulatory fungus, talking plants and glowing jellyfish that floated in a gas giant. Their musical themes were a staple element of the gameplay, with everything from plucky rock tunes to ambient techno and atmospheric new age styles that wove a musical tapestry of adventure, isolation, and mystery as you explored the galaxy. This game's soundtrack was also notable for not having a singular stylistic genre to define it, as it was largely a compilation of tracks from a variety of musicians.In June 2013 it was announced that Stardock Software had acquired the long-dormant rights to this franchise and revealed plans to faithfully reboot the series after a twenty year hiatus, during which time the rights had changed hands several times. Multiple software publishers held onto the property without developing any new titles for it, so the franchise essentially languished without a new installment for many years. Stardock announced almost immediately upon acquisition of the franchise that they planned to reboot the series and introduce an entirely new branch of the story for a new generation of gamers.With the first chapter of this new series likely to debut sometime in 2017, my excitement at this announcement was hard to describe. Stardock has a solid track record of producing quality titles that other studios are often afraid to gamble on because they're considered risky investments, but I know the people behind the helm genuinely care about this franchise and will do it justice. In honor of that, I've established a collection of some of my music inspired by the legacy of Star Control.

Orchestral Intro Theme by Martin Lettvin
published onMaybe the best 2D sandbox ever made.
Starbound is a cheaply made indie game that has had a great reception. Your character fled a planet only to land on a new one. Now it is time to discover, explore, fight and survive in your new environment. Navigate planets and upgrade your ships to find warp gates, outposts, shops, quests and more.
Let Us Start With What Could Be A Fatal Flaw
The creators keep updating the game in an attempt to finish it. People that have bought it, and people that are waiting to buy it, have been promised a complex and interesting survival game. The creators keep adding things to it, but it is more like they are updating it rather than finishing it. Some have accused it of being constructed haphazardly and that it is proceeding aimlessly without direction until its creator’s death. Releases and updates are becoming less frequent, and people are not getting the game they were promised. Despite its additions, mods and updates, there are still a lot of people that think it lacks content.
It Has Won Awards
Starbound won the 2013 Indie Game of the Year and has been listed in the PC Gamer Top 100 Greatest PC games. This is because it has a seemingly never-ending world that you can keep exploring. The developers claim it will be finished soon, yet it has been in the early access phase since 2013, and their last patch/update was in April 2015.
It is probably the best 2D sandbox game you can find. It is not pure sandbox because you are not left completely to your own devices within each world. There is a narrative, but you can pursue it at your own leisure.
Starbound For Free
Farm, build, explore and survive
You can simply hop from planet to planet looking for treasure chests, or you can farm and hunt. You can build on different planets, or you can upgrade your ship. You can go looking for a fight and if you search hard enough then you will find one. There are seven races that you can play as, including playing as a cowboy plasma person or carnivorous plant person.

It is still at a high price for an early-access game, and it is obvious that the developers have made a lot of money and done a runner. Still, for the money you pay, you can squeeze around 60 hours of gameplay out of it.
