[edit] Federation II launch date

I'm sure Federation II was available before the launch date specified in this article. The version on Compunet was Federation II, when I was on the service in the 1980s. However, I know Fed II was re-written to an extent. Any clarification? -- Mewcenary 21:38, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

There is a difference between the Federation II that was on GeNie (caps?) and other early networks and the Fed2 that is the current game. The version on AOL was just called Federation, and it preserved that name until Fed2 was released a couple of years ago. (Unfortunately, it's just not the same without Tickenest and JaimeD2 and all the early player designed planets of the AOL heydays. Ten years later, and I still remember most of the earlier planet owners.) -- dvd 09:28, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I have been zinged and I love it. :) Tickenest 16:23, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Honestly I think both entries, for Federation and Federation II should be merged and rewritten to make note of the different versions, because I naturally went to the Federation II page expecting the game on GEnie as I remembered it. It's not super important, but it'd be nice to get this game history stuff accurate. Rogdor (talk) 10:35, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
