This is in response to Crimick on the SFC 1 issue and patches...
Fact of the matter is this.. before Taldren was Taldren, they were 14 Degrees East. 14 Degrees East was an Internal game making section of interplay.. they partnered with Quicksilver Software for coding with the game... however, when 14 Degrees East disbanded, and formed Taldren.. and since the Contracts were internal.. support for SFC 1 went with it... Thus the 1.03 patch being final release allowed by Interplay, however it is still Unofficial according to Interplay... as it was created before 14 Degrees East disbanded, but released after Taldren formed... then out came SFC 2 with good graces between Taldren and Interplay... things didn't get bad until the Trek Liscense went up into the air and Activision bought them all.. but that's a different story.
Hopefully, maybe 1 day with David Ferrell being really nice, release an Unofficial 1.04 SFC 1 patch if he still has the game code or access to it.. I would really like to see the fix on the R-KCR for the ungodly power that it has... maybe drop it's power by at least 10.
but that is wishful thinking.. I still enjoy SFC 1...
and for anyone wanting to get SFC 1 working on XP again for both GSA and Single Player.. visit my SFC 1 web page at
