Just purchased but I can't seem to run it.  After a minute or two, I get a "program stopped working" message.  Running in various compatibility modes doesn't seem to help.  I'm on a losing streak with respect to running old games.  Anyone?

I'm going to hold on for SFC2.  I never actually played that one. 

Got great memories of SFC1 though.  Lost my virginity the night I purchased the game to a hot Italian girl visiting me from Long Island.  Didn't get to install or play it for a few days since she had most of my attention.

Long Island? What's her name? I'm in Suffolk County.

Brigette B.  Great gal and still a good friend. A gentleman does not tell tales out of school, so the last name will remain under wraps.  She now lives in Lawrence Kansas of all places.

*shrug*

I've not played SFC1 since SFC2 came out back around 2000.  :-\

SC: Orion Pirates plus the mod that makes your ships look like they should (i.e. Feds get round engine nacelles, etc.) is the only way to fly.

Starfleet Command was the first game to prompt me to purchase computer upgrades so I could have a better time with it; love Star Trek, I do.

Glad to see it available again.

Did you run the config.exe program in the main folder and set your screen resolution?

If that fails, try deleting the sfc.ini file and restart.

Hopefully he won't mind my doing so in public here, but a big "thank you!" to Staggerwing for his gifting to me a copy of this game.  I already knew you were a good guy; this merely reinforces that.  :)

I have this game in my cart in GOG Galaxy.

I also added AI War Complete and Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete.

I just need an excuse to pull the trigger, man.

You don't need an excuse, just permission.  I'm happy to give it to you.  ;) 




DoctorQuest:  Yes it is.  :smitten:

Well, shit. Bought all three but Star Trek won't install. It keeps telling me "game not supported." What the hell is that crap?

EDIT: nvm, looks like it's not supported by Galaxy. Well, that's still pretty stupid that I can buy it through Galaxy but I can't download/play it through there.

...this thread is making me want to dig out my copy of SFC 2.

I've not tried to use my old disk for SFC2:EAW but I hear that it's disk check DRM (and possibly other stuff) screws up on Win7/8 64-bit systems for many people. 

That digital download of SFC2:OP works fine for me, however.  Only a serial number entry DRM.  OP was just EAW re-released with some software updates and extra features.  Those must've helped it's compatibility on our modern OSes.

Wish I could find my SFC2:EAW manual.  That thing was excellent.  Back when they gave you thick manuals.  :)  The PDF is easy to find but I'm a Book Sniffer.

:)  Well, my CDs loaded up just fine.  Entered the serial number code, ran the setup and its running great.  Poked around the internetz and updated it to SFC2:EAW 2036...never picked up the Orion Pirates addition it seems :(. Just playing with the tutorials so far, but its running on my Win 7 Pro 64-bit  O0

...any mods I should try to pick up??

p.s. ...and yeah, I've still got my original SFC:EAW manual.  Things gotta weigh in at 4-5 pounds easy >:D
Actually just weighed it and it comes in at ~13.75 ounces.  Its actually a book, a real book (~5.5-inches x 8-inches)...ah, for the good old days of REAL manuals/user guides, with a type size that you can actually read!

Can someone please explain the differences between all the SFC2 games? There seem to be a few of them. Empires at war, Orion pirates, community development? What is the one to get? I know I've had them all in the past, but I just don't remember.

I just picked up HoMM3 Complete on the off chance I may actually play it eventually.  It's reportedly still superior to the HD remake because the latter is missing some of the content, notably including the random map generator & such.
