	In September 2007, Atari put online a simple Flash game with the name "Star Control" at http://www.atari.com/us/starcontrol/. This game was created by independent game developer [http://www.iocainestudios.com/ Iocaine Studios]. Atari ordered the creation of the game, to be delivered in just four days [http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=22623305202]. The web page containing the Flash applet has the title "Welcome to the Star Control Preview", suggesting that there is more to come. As of august 2009, there has been no news of further developments. The gameplay resembles the 1962 game [[wikipedia:Spacewar!\|Spacewar!]], a spiritual ancestor of [[Toys for Bob]]'s original Star Control.

	Meta-data of images inside the Flash applet show a modification date of 2007-09-16 or 2007-09-17, suggesting that this was the weekend during which the game was created. One day later, images of this game were used in Atari's [~~http~~://~~tmportal~~.uspto.gov/~~external/PA_1_0_LT/OpenServletWindow~~?~~serialNumber~~=~~75095591~~&~~scanDate~~=~~2007091952847&DocDesc~~=~~PR-Section+~~8~~+and+9&docType=S89~~&~~currentPage~~=1~~&rowNum=2&rowCount=12&formattedDate=18-Sep-2007~~ Declaration of Use In Commerce] submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office with Atari's application for renewal of their trademark. The suspicious timing, together with the simple nature of the game and the fact that the game had to be delivered in just four days, has led some to believe that the game was created specifically for the purpose of retaining the [[Star Control Trademark]] [http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=4044.0].
