Stardock's Star Control & MOO Ambitions

Gamasutra offers some quotes from Stardock CEO Brad Wardell, who admits they have other old-school ambitions after acknowledging their recently announced Elemental: War of Magic is an homage to Microprose's Master of Magic. Wardell says he's also pitched Atari on revisiting both the Star Control and Master of Orion franchises, albeit unsuccessfully, so there are no current plans to pursue either project, but he does say Stardock is contemplating another game as they prepare to put a second internal development team to work. His comments about the Star Control series and Master of Orion series are interesting, as, like the recent Superman movie, he envisions pretending the most recent games in each series occurred in the same non-existent alternate universe in which Superman III and IV were set, saying a Star Control game would follow Star Control II, rather than III, and likewise, were they to take on Master of Orion IV, it would be a sequel to Master of Orion II, sagely observing: "If you're making a game that ends with '3,' or Something: The Sequel, it should be similar to the original game."
