The Pkunk, the fruit loops birds, whose little ships had a useful habit of, about half the time, reviving to full crew with a little ♪\*hallelujah!\*♪ whenever they died.

Fair warning: The Sourceforge version of SC2 is the 3DO version. As such, it has voices (which you can happily turn off), it has screwed up the rainbow worlds (they’re nigh indistinguishable from normal worlds; not mysterious at all) and, at least as of several months ago, **it does not have the cool credits at the end.** Only the Accolade version has the credits. I was hugely disappointed when I played through the game again; the credits were one of the best parts of the game. And that’s saying something, because the game itself is amazing.

Now I’m off to play frungy, the sport of kings!

Hmm. “Avoid combat using the mothership?” Bah! If memory serves, once you get maxed out speed and maneuverability on that baby, then fill her to the brim with shiva furnaces and those big seeking plasma ball guns, no alien ship can touch you before it gets vaporized.

Personally, I prefer to kill everything with the Spathi. Make those cowardly little bastards work for your protection!
