Everyone should get the Urquan Masters instead of the file on this site. I have been playing it (Urquan Masters) since the first version was released. It incorporates all the best aspects of the pc and 3DO versions into one excellent game. Not to mention that in the newest version there is gamepad compatibility and a searchable starmap. And you can edit it in so many ways. The creators now have their own company Toys For Bob

I love this game like no other. I have the original on 3.5 diskette. Also the the Best of Science Fiction cd-rom version. I even bought a 3DO on ebay just so I could sit on my couch and play it on the big screen. Trust me, the Urquan Masters is the way to go. Not to mention that it is a fan produced port. The original creators gave them the code and they have done the rest. Support their excellent effort.
LONG LIVE The Alliance of Free Stars!!!!
