Star Control 3 is an action-adventure game developed by Legend Entertainment and published by Accolade. The third and final instalment in the Star Control trilogy, the game was released for MS-DOS in 1996 and Mac OS in 1998. It features a single-player campaign combining space exploration, alien dialogue, and ship-to-ship combat; the player engages in top-down battles between starships with unique abilities. Accolade hired Legend to create this sequel, after series creators Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford decided to pursue other projects. Legend was selected after its president, Bob Bates (pictured), established his team's passion for Star Control, as well as their experience as game writers. They designed the game in consultation with fans, replacing features from Star Control II that had received negative feedback. Star Control 3 was considered a critical and commercial success upon release. However, it later suffered from comparisons to the award-winning Star Control II. (Full article...)
