Let me just try to clear up a few misunderstandings regarding The Ur-Quan Masters. It has been referred to in this thread variously as a "remake", an "updated version" and a "3DO-based version". All three are essentially correct, but don't say much about what it actually is.
What it is, is a source port of the game. The port is based on the 3DO code, because the PC code has been lost in the mists of time. However, the differences between the two versions are not very large, and, and this is the cruncher, every feature that differs between the two versions can be configured to use either the PC style or the 3DO style. All the assets are the original ones, so it is not what is traditionally considered a remake. It is simply a hassle-free way of playing the original game, with the added bonus that you get the best of both worlds. For instance, the 3DO version had voice acting, while the PC version did not. You can choose to play with the voices or not, as you see fit. Thus, you can play the game exactly as it was originally on the PC, or you can mix and match the features as you want. And because it is a source port, there is no emulation involved. No DOSBox, nothing.
That being said, I do encourage people to buy the game here, but play The Ur-Quan Masters instead. Here, you will also get SC1, and hopefully send a signal that these games still have lots of commercial value. The original creators have been trying to get permission to make a new game in the series for a few years now. Hopefully, this release will be a step towards that end.
