Best game of all time is Star Control 2. And it's available free also
Red alert is pretty cool (if you can see past the massive 3 pixel commandos)

I was kinda hoping Star Citizen would be something like it, but I guess not. Just imagine an enormous galaxy to explore, alien races to meet, duels with spaceships that you can win for your fleet and possibly an MMO flavour thrown into the mix... Al done in a modern graphics engine! I'd play it for years on end. Sounds kinda like Eve.![]()

Also a big fan of Ur Quan Masters. Even got the HD edition.
Unlike most people, I actually even enjoyed Starcon 3.
As for the "true" successor, there was Project6014 but there doesn't seem to be much happening with that. Stardock has however purchased the rights for Star Control and they're getting input from the original creators from Toys for Bob in making a new Star Control game. I think I created a thread about that earlier this year somewhere.
Funny enough, I found the old C&C games aged quite well... Dune, one the other hand, didn't. The single unit-select-action made it laborious to take over a base. C&C redefined the genre with the box-drag-to-select and assign teams to numbers gameplay. It was simple, but challenging to finish the game. I still love it to this day!
