I find it simply tragic that this game hasn't made it to GOG yet, it took all the great gameplay of the first game, made several QoL upgrades and added new races from the old table-top game (Starfleet Battles, for those not aware that SFC was a spiritual adaptation of that TT battle sim), which introduced complex new strategical challenges. As I recall, although I never completed the story, it had a more fully realized story mode that could be played from the perspective different factions. I still have my game disc in usable state, but I lack the technical expertise to setup the emulation for it to function properly if I were to install the game. My love for this game over the first does come with a slight bias, because one of my favorite races to play on TT was ISC, the proverbial "Villain / Antagonist" for the story. Hehe, writing this actually makes me want to dig into the back of my closet to find my rules and game gear for SFB so I can introduce my grandkids to the game. I used to play 1v1 with my kids to kill time while we supervised the laundry at our apartment complex, then sit and watch TNG together before they went to bed.

I spent many hours as all factions mostly the Federation and Klingons, I loved the lore and the era of star trek that this is set in with a beautiful story and the ability to shape the star trek universe in a way never before seen. I fought the ISC in the largest battle I had ever played at the time and was mesmerised by the effect and how was blown by how I felt like a real captain. This is a MUST Star Trek game!!!!
The extra two factions and improved damage textures are what make this game stand out from its predecessor. I would love to try to beat this game again. Some missions in the Starfleet Command series are extremely difficult, but it was a game I dumped so many hours into.

This is the one of the games i most regret missing out on. I bought the original SFC and then the 3rd one but I should have bought this one too. If the QOL improvements are what they say then I want it. I will give GOG the money. Bring it back!

The Starfleet Command series deserves to be in a playable state on modern hardware. Fantastic titles with stories and gameplay you won't find anywhere else. All we're missing is SC 2 and Orion Pirates.

I loved all the creative new factions and ships in this game, which I played over and over. Personally my favorite of all the Starfleet Command games as the one that felt the deepest and the most interested in expanding the universe, not just playing in it. Might be one of the best Star Trek games of all time!
i miss the isc plasmatic pulsar device. please bring back this game. i loved the challenge of earning medals and getting promoted in the game. romulans were awesome too especially the kondor.

My uncle gave me the disk for this and orion pirates. I remember playing it obsessively, I wasn't very good but it was engrossing to fly missions for the different factions and customize your fleet and getting new ships. It just felt right
Those games also need your vote!

Fire Department 3
Fire Department 3The third game in the Fire Department series once again follow the life of fire fighters - this time in 13 missions in five locations: France, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Ukraine - the home country of the developers. The game uses a dynamic fire and smoke dynamics system. Fire does not follow a scripted path and is influenced by the wind or flammable substance. Smoke follows ventilation paths and suppresses oxygen levels. Players manage a fire fighter crew with different classes and 15 different vehicles, all in real-time. Each class has a specific set of abilities. Regular fire fighters break doors and save victims while putting out the fires, medics provide first aid, others are able to get through obstacles, repair machines, command dogs, specialize in toxic substances or wear special suits that withstand extreme temperatures. Each unit can be assigned a defensive, offensive or heroic stance. The list of vehicles includes fire engines, ambulances, boats, bulldozers, trucks, helicopters and planes. Missions feature both primary and secondary objectives, requiring the player to create groups to approach fires from different directions. The game offers two multiplayer modes. Players can replay all missions from the singleplayer mode with both players controlling all units at the same time, or a more cooperative approach where players can divide the units between them. There are three multiplayer bonus missions as well.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
