The Ur-Quan Masters is the open source port of old game Star Control II

[jh]

I wonder if it will run ok on a Z... is it action-oriented? Playable on a 5500? Only for a Cxxx? It uses SDL, so it might work. From their FAQ: (http://sc2.sourceforge.net/info.html)

What are the system requirements?

* The original game ran just fine on a 386. The requirements are a bit steeper for this version, however, because modern OSes don't let applications do everything they want. This imposes overhead. (Also, the versions of Windows we target won't run on a 386 either, but that's beside the point...) Also, the additional overhead of the 3DO features carries a cost.
Minimum verified system requirements are:
o Pentium 200 running a supported OS.
o 64 MB of RAM (the game's footprint is around 30MB).
o A reasonably recent video card. The oldest cards anyone has tested on are TNT2 and Voodoo 3. For OpenGL support, your video card needs to be able to handle 512x256 or 1024x512 textures. (The Voodoo 3 can not do this.)
If you're running at or near the minimum, you should play in 320x240 mode, full screen, and experiment with OpenGL mode to see whether that speeds up or slows down your game. If you're running the game with default quality levels (640x480 windowed), an Athlon 600 is the current minimum tested.
Important note:Not all features are added yet, and not all optimizations have been done yet. System requirements could go up or down in later releases.
