    Star Control

    From FAQ/CONTACT US:
    Where do I send programming suggestions?
    Please check out SPACE's Discussion Forums for any and all comments about our station's programming. The postings on this part of our site are checked regularly by our staff and we truly are influenced by what our viewers ask for. Please tell us WHY you love the show, and why you think we should get it. Convince us!

    I'd like to start off by saying that HypaSpace is an amazing show; I love how they cover everything sci-fi, and talk about video games also!  They provide excellent coverage on my favourite shows such as Star Trek, Farscape, and Battlestar Galactica.  The hosts (e.g. Natasha Eloi, Jonathan Llyr, and Kim Poirier) have bright personalities, and they always know what they're talking about.  I always learn something new.

    Star Control II was made in 1992, and in the year 2000, the developers, Toys for Bob, released it's source code to the public, where it has been remade for Windows XP, Linux, and Mac OS X.  The frame rate has been improved, contains hours of spoken dialogue, and even contains remixed music. There are 25 unique playable ships, creating different fighting styles for every player.

    Around early April of 2006, Toys for Bob has mentioned on their website, that they would love to make a new Star Control game, and want their thousands of loyal fans to write e-mails to them that TFB can use to show Activision how important Star Control is, and that a new one must be made.

    HypaSpace is always talking about the latest news about everything from comic books, awesome action figures, movies, TV series, and video games.  If Star Control, and the undying desire for a new game could be mentioned on an episode of HypaSpace, it would be a great way to get Star Control's name in the spotlight, and would bring more fans to this amazing game.
