Well it has certainly beaten Strike Commander and Mech Warrior 2 by far!  
I remember when the game was first announced in June of 1992 at CES 
for an Xmas '92 release (HA!).  In fact, you will see original 
details of it in Strategy Plus July (I think) '92 along with 
screenshots.  What makes me laugh is that they are talking about 
doing sequels ALREADY and getting Falcon 4 out by the end of '95!!!
I know there is things that are more vapor prone than STTNG but it sure 
is a contender!
