The pictures and graphics included in these pages are all from the Amstrad cpc version of Star Control.  This was released in 1991, if I am not mistaken.  I wrote the text in the role of Eth Erasmus Blackthorne, a historian on Earth during the time when that planet was encased in an Ur-Quan slave shield. 

    Clearly I had to extrapolate quite a bit to fit this game into the Star Control Saga as we know it.  Star Control II did much to clear up the history of the Ur-Quan Conflict, but there were still some very difficult items to reconcile, which provided the impetus for this project in the first place.  The most glaring inconsistancy is the inclusion of the Mycon in the Alliance in this version (and two other versions) of Star Control.  I like to think that I have done a fair job of explaining their presence.  I decided to make the Amstrad cpc version Volume I of the series; The PC, Amiga, and Genesis versions were labeled as Volume IV and were substantively the same.  My main rationale for this was the design of the Earthling cruiser.  Clearly it is quite different from the "classic" Earthling that appeared in the PC version and in Star Control II, resembling the Yehat Terminator more than anything else.  The Earthlings in the Spectrum version was also quite different.  This will be treated seperately, as time permits. 

    Here is a review:  Nova's. 

    I consider this to be a work in progress.  Please feel free to email me with any questions, suggestions, nitpicks, or tips on areas of the game which I seemed to have neglected (Hey!  All you have to do is hit "Y" in the practice screen and you'll be treated to full screen, 16 color pictures of each ship, complete with detailed stats!).  Also, if you have a copy of the documentation for the cpc version, please contact me with any tidbits contained therein.
