It installs and works fine on Windows 10, which is refreshing. I believe, however, they should have added one more loot item to the game: Rose-Colored Glasses. So you can see the game the way it appears in your memory. Not that I didn't expect the graphics to be dated, but... wow. I'm certainly not going to knock off a star for it. I regularly play ASCII roguelikes on a 4K gaming box, so graphics really are irrelevant to gameplay for me. It's just a bit jarring -- and one more thing that makes me feel like the old man I have become. Like when I look in the mirror in the morning and think "How did this happen?"
SFC Gold is still the closest thing ever made to a faithful computer adaptation of the original Starfleet Battles ruleset. The feeling here is of massive ships maneuvering to find the smallest opening, slugging it out for hours on end. SFB was based around pre-carrier naval combat; Starfleet Command faithfully captures that, especially if you slow the game down to speed 2 or 3, the way it's meant to be played, (the 4+ speed settings are there for impatient kiddies. Don't be an impatient kiddie). The game plays well even today; ten minutes into my first skirmish and I was hooked all over again. Thank you for bringing this to GoG. I'll buy the others too, as soon as you can get them on here. Well, maybe not SFC3... that was dumbed down a bit too much for my taste. Definitely SFC2 and Orion Pirates, though. Oh, and it runs fine for me on Win7 Pro 64 bit.
