Seriously SFC II was the best of the three
hahahahahahaha
What, the heck, is SFC?
Super Famicom?
You do realize that not everyone knows you're talking about...

THE HECK YA ON ABOUT, OP?

Star Trek: Starfleet Command.
Author of the topic could use at least once full name of game to avoid confusion.
To answer question, Star Trek: Starfleet Command 2 was published by Interplay and all the games released a week ago were published by Activision.

Next time, use the game's full name and not an abbreviation.




As for why Starfleet Command II is not here, nobody can tell you the exact reason.
As for a hypothesis, it's most likely because the game's publisher (Interplay) had a series of financial issues that stopped them from releasing all Star Trek games that they had a license to.
Hypothesis: Starfleet Command was developed and published by Interplay, Starfleet Command 2 (and Orion Pirates expansion) was developed by Taldren, the company created from ex-Interplay and published by Interplay, Starfleet Command 3 was developed by Taldren and published by Activision, after that game Taldren was dissolved (probably with the help of Activison). My guess is that there are some disputes between the ex Taldren and the Activision, the successor of Starfleet Command 2 ownership after Interplay.

Here is a *good* read which might shed some light on Taldren relationships with Activision, this part I find the most interesting:
For the record for any of those who would care to slander the character of Taldren, we developed TNG for Activision for 25% less than either SFC1 or SFC2 and in the process spent $300,000 of our own money on the production of TNG. ATVI should be in the black at this point (although I will not know for a while until I receive our rolyaty statement that summarizes the monies that AVTI has received for TNG) and we have $300,000 in the red for the project. Based on the initial sell-in of 80,000 units it means that Taldren offset ATVI’s expenses by $3.75 a copy.

I thought it was a weird way to spell Star Wolves. The first was great, have not had a chance to try 3. Did not really get into 2 as there were no good guides and I didn't want to miss out.

Seattle Fried Chicken, a famous restaurant chain. Yummy.

It might also refer to Star Trek: StarFleet Command games.

Thanks. So my guess "Super Friendly Computer" was wrong? Damn, would have been nice to have such a thing!

My first thought was "Super Family Computer", or "Super Famicom" for short (Japanese version of the SNES, or "Super Nintendo Entertainment System".)
Ok guys, but.. is the OP right or wrong about SFC II being the best of the three? XD

Yeah, they are. SFC2 took all the good bits of SFC1, expanded them, and didn't change things to be slightly worse as SFC3 did.

None of the games are bad, but SFC2 is the best one, yeah.
