Stardock has made its living in part by making original games like the Galactic Civilizations series, the Political Machine series and the upcoming Elemental: Master of Magic. However, Gamasutra reports that the developer-publisher is also interested in reviving classic PC strategy games as well.

Stardock CEO Brad Wardell stated that they would like the rights to do a new Star Control series and have also discussed getting the rights from Atari to do a new Master of Orion title. Wardell states that Stardock would "....like to do a roleplaying game too" along the lines of an isometic title like the original Baldur's Gate series.

Hell yeah. If anyone makes a Baldur's Gate-esque RPG I will be first in line.Posted at 10:07AM on Nov 17th 2008 by Mike

Stardock has yet to commit any sins IMO and being a nostalgic gamer I'm all about bring back some of the old franchises.

One of my favorite games of all-time is Star Control II. I'm really happy that Stardock wants to bring it back to life. I was beginning to feel like I was the last person on the planet who remembers it.Posted at 4:47PM on Nov 17th 2008 by Steven Wong
