Birth of the Federation

Star Trek: The Next Generation, Birth of the Federation is the first PC CD-ROM strategy game based on the rich Star Trek universe! Forged from the cultures, time lines, events and technologies of the hit TV show Star Trek: The Next Generation, this turn-based epic emphasises resource management, combat and diplomacy. Control one of five major alliances: Federation, Klingon, Romulan, Ferengi or Cardassian, each with its own set of abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Encounter over 30 exotic races. And beware, there lurks the potential for a Borg invasion--threatening all players! Manufacturer's Description If a long, complicated journey into Star Trek minutiae sounds like your idea of a perfect weekend, Birth of the Federation is certainly worth the time investment required to play it. That said, this is a very deep strategic game, too abstract and complicated to appeal to the casual gamer. Similar to space-expansion games like Master of Orion, Birth of the Federation is a race to gain control of the galaxy. In this case, Klingons, Romulans, Ferengis and Cardassians compete with Jean-Luc Picard and the Federation. *Develop your intelligence and use diplomacy to weave a trail of alliances or enemies *Rise or fall by your ability to develop or acquire technology *Manage a complex economy of empire-level resources, solar systems, and trade routes *Construct, maintain, and refit a Starship fleet *Play against up to 5 players via LAN, direct connect, modem, or Internet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_of_the_Federation ps. Fully patched up with the last Offical update from microprose 1.02v Have fun! :)

Downloaded fine, installed, but could not play it says to insert disc, even though I had it mounted on PowerISO, when I re-mounted it just kept coming up with install, manual etc but no play, could not find a crack either. Has anyone else had any luck withj playing? Also had to re-start my pc to uninstal too, But thanks anyway.

I ran into that too. The autoplay launches classic.exe which hangs and you need to kill the process in the task manager before it would let you uninstall. You can launch Trek.exe directly from the disk and it will work.
