Over the years, several games based on the Star Control experience have been made.
Commercial Games
Star Control 3
- Main article: Star Control 3
After the success of Star Control II, Accolade commissioned the creation of a sequel. While Toys for Bob created Star Control II, Star Control 3 was created by Legend Entertainment. As it didn't live up to the high standards set by its predecessor, most Star Control II fans consider Star Control 3 non-canon.
