Sort of:-)  There was a Star Control 3. It couldn't decide if it was an
adventure game, a resource management game, or a space combat game like
the
first two. It just got confusing to try and manage everything
(especially since
you had to fly your ship to where the colony you wanted to manage
was...). And
all this, and collecting clues to save the universe again. Don't pay
more than
US$10-15 for this, but others may enjoy it more than I did (and I will
admit to
occaoisnalkly considering taking another stab at it).
