[edit] Salvaging from history

(see possible copyright infringements and old article's talk page)

I've salvaged from history the old article the sidepanel, which was apparently an original contribution, and put it in the new stub; as you can see, it is very different, and probably not copied from, the article at Wikipedia. Shanok 23:12, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Renaming of article

(see naming conventions talk page)

Following the removal of the copyright infringing article, I propose changing the name of the article to "Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Final Unity", which is the correct name of this game (as opposed to simply "Star Trek: A Final Unity"). However, a redirect of the old name could be useful, as it is often called just that by many people, for brevity's sake. Shanok 23:12, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

All of our current game articles use the descriptor hierarchy "Star Trek: Series - Title" when dealing with a game related to a spinoff, so I'm keeping this format and have moved this article to its current location. -- Captain Mike K. Bartel^talk 19:11, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article expansion

I did expand the article, and rewrite quite a bit of it. It's still missing a lot of information, and could use some images. I hope it was not too bad, since I only recently started editing pages in Memory-Alpha. Please let me know if I unintentionally violated any policy. Shanok 22:50, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DosBox

Pretty much the only way to run this game today (as well as most other very old Star Trek games) in new systems is to use DosBox. However, I haven't mentioned it explicitly in the article for fear of sounding promotional, in spite of DosBox being an open source, free project. What do you think?

I got it to work with the newest DosBOX, and with 0.72 and beyond the DOS32A extender doesn't work properly, but the old one works fine. 68.35.124.100 06:50, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
