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.
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 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!

Uncharted Waters: New HorizonsIn the first Uncharted Waters game, it was the 15th century and the New World was discovered. Now in New Horizons, it is the early 16th century and the age of exploration and sea trade is underway. Players choose from any one of six adventurers (scenarios), each with their own distinctive but intertwining plot, to embark on a quest of sailing, seamanship and exploration. The six characters are:Joao Franco is the son of Duke Leon Franco, the hero of the first Uncharted Waters game and an influential man in Portugal. His father wants to make him into a strong man and so decides to send him out to sea. Young Joao is tasked with learning the skills of the sailor (he is the only character who starts at level one) and embarking on a quest of discovery; reaching the far east and eventually looking for the secret of Atlantis.
Catalina Erantzo is a Spanish naval officer who believes her beloved and her brother were both murdered by the Portuguese armada. Vowing revenge she turns to a life of piracy and soon becomes a red haired scourge of the seas.
Pietro Conti is a indebted man, having inherited the financial woes of the Conti family. When the Duchess Franco hires him to spy on her son, he accepts the job and obtains a ship. Pietro hopes to use these resources to seek out valuable treasure and clear up his family's debt.
Ernst Von Bohr is a geographer who is teaching classes in Holland. But he yearns to leave the classroom and sail the high seas, living a life of adventure that he has only read about in books. When his friend, Mercator offers to finance his initial voyage in exchange for cartography information about the world, Ernst is given the opportunity to live out his dream.
Ali Vezas is a poor orphaned child living in Istanbul and serving others. He dreams of becoming his own master and making his own fortune across foreign lands.

Otto Baynes styles himself a Royal Knight of the British Empire, in the service of his majesty the king. Promoted to Admiral of the British fleet, the kingdom is worried about the increased naval power of Spanish fleets. Otto is given a letter of marque by the king and ordered to terrorize the Spanish Fleet. Equipping himself simply at first, Otto strives to become a great Privateer in the name of King and Country.Regardless of the character chosen, Uncharted Waters: New Horizons is a top-down sailing simulation. At sea, players control the direction of their ship, where speed is affected by the number/health of the crew, the wind and the currents. Players can navigate anywhere there is water (though some ships are not ocean worthy) and discover interesting landmarks and new ports. Upon landing at a port, the view is also top-down and the player can enter different buildings, each with unique services and goods. These include: The Inn, the Item Shop, The Shipyard, The Tavern, The Castle, The Guild Hall, The Church, The Merchant and the Harbor. It's up to the player to earn enough gold to keep the crew fed and financed and keep the fleet repaired. Primary methods of earning money are through sea trade, accepting jobs from the guild, gambling and battle with other ships.
During naval combat, the game becomes a turn-based top-down strategy game, with the player moving ships in order to obtain trajectories needed to fire cannons at enemy ships, or run alongside enemy vessels in order to board them. If the player's flagship attacks the flagship of the enemy fleet, they can challenge the opponent to a duel. If accepted, the game changes to a side-view of the two captains engaged in a fight. During this sequence, the player can only choose which fighting maneuver (strike, thrust, parry, lash) they wish to engage in.

It Came from the DesertIt Came From the Desert is an action-adventure game that derives its inspiration from the many cult-horror B-Movies of the 50's and 60's, the 1954 film Them in particular. The player plays the part of Dr. Greg Bradley, a geologist and the newest resident in town. Eager to satisfy his scientific mind, Bradley sets out to examine the crash-site of a mysterious meteor, but what he finds is not at all what he had been looking for.
The game takes place all over Lizard Breath, and there are several different types of action / interaction. The adventure part of the game is very linear, guiding the player in a fairly set sequence of action sections. These include first-person bug shooting, scrolling overhead shooting, and a chase sequence.Action Horror Thriller Science fiction
