Nice start, hope to see Klingon Academy one day. And Armada.

25th Anniversary, Judgment Rites, and Starfleet Academy.

No Klingon Academy yet, but I'm sure that's on the way. A fine start.

Ha! I still have the original CD and manual but it would be nice to see it on GOG.

That would be nice but I'm not sure GOG would be able to fix the bugs Klingon Academy has when used in modern OSes.


I'd most like to see Starfleet Command 2: Empires At War and especially Orion Pirates.  I never picked up Orion Pirates back in the day, so it's a must.  Also wouldn't mind getting a DRM-free version of SFC3 either, although I've always thought the look of the ships in the early ST movie era were the best of the lot (which is the style used in SFC2).

Had some great SFC2/3 multi-player fun long ago, but they're still great starship combat games solo.  Much more convenient playing this Starfleet Battles port on the PC than on the tabletop.  O0

They'd probably use DosBox anyway.

+ 1000. Sadly, I'm about 80% sure I own SC2 with the Orion Pirates extension somewhere in my various chests of drawers or bags already... But alas, nowadays that's almost like looking for the Ark of the Covenant.

Yeah, I want to see that game that Martok is always playing.  That's BoF, right?  The one where you play as a bridge commander on a starship?  Or maybe I've got two games mixed up.  I seem to remember JH posted about the game a long time ago, but when I looked on ebay it was hella-expensive, like over $100.

Ha, you read my mind.  8) 


Yeah, I really hope that happens.  I've actually been playing BotF a lot the last few days (Ultimate Mod 5), and have been having a blast.  I worry what'll happen if my disk ever breaks, as I'd like to still own a legitimate copy.  Having the game be released on GOG would obviously alleviate that concern. 

Would also love to have a GOG version of Klingon Academy too, if only so that I don't have to spend the time messing around with six f***ing disks every damn time I want to play or install it.  :-\  >:(  :o  ::)

Birth of the Federation is the 4x game that I'm such a huge fan of.  (And yes, Toonces, that's the one that you can only afford if you sell half your internal organs. :( )  I'm hoping like crazy that GOG gets this one added to their new stable of Star Trek titles, and soon!!
