Aren't the Edenians and the Guardian sorta ignored in everything after TOS?

They are in Birth of the Federation as a minor race that starts off neutral but can be conquered/bought to join your side.

These gems also didn't make it to Steam (dunno why...looking at the 20$ category over there I'd guess they fit)

WHAT GAME IS THIS??

A game called Labrynth V1.0 by Lunatic Fringe Software. The internet doesn't know it though.
Mate, you do have a copy stuffed somewhere in the dark corner of your HDD, right? ;)

UPDATE:
Nevermind, found it with some help from a good friend of mine: https://archive.org/download/Labrynth_1020



I found this game on a really old shareware CD. There is a whole folder of RPG shareware games that are not really worth playing. Like....

Ah, Escape from Ragor, one of the over 20 (!) RPGs made by motelsoft through the years. I found their stuff over a year ago and posted about it in the Really Obscure RPGs thread (and brought the company to the attention of the CRPG Addict).

Care to share/upload that RPG folder from the shovelware CD? I'm really interested in digging through it.

But when I tried to find out why game is almost never mentioned, it turned out that complete English version barely (?) exists.
But there is Russian, with extra patches and top-notch translation. Odd.

I got a full boxed copy of Siege of Avalaon at some point in the mid 00s, in German. The box doesn't exist anymore but the CDs might still be around somewhere. The translation was pretty good.

For the English version there was apparently an anthology release of all the chapters. They had an episodic format before that became cool, heh. The rarity of the full version is probably because the dev went out of business at some point, probably not too long after releasing the full version on CD.

Yeah, cursory search easily finds Russian and German anthologies, but best bet for getting an English one is compiling (!) it from currently open source project on GitHab. On Delphi(!!).

Well, nothing against Delphi here, its my first language and everything, but never in my life I would thought that someone will use it to make CRPG!

They don't actually need to be good. That was just to catch your attention. Just "interesting to play".
Oh, the "CRPGs games" part was bait, too.

I don't mean abandonware like Drakkhen or Obitus. Although you're welcome to add everything you like to the list, of course! I mean titles like these (Some might not be pure RPGs):

Lords of EverQuest (2003)
Lords of EverQuest is a real-time strategy game with role-playing elements. The game is set in the EverQuest universe and takes place ten thousand years before the events of the original EverQuest. Players can choose to control any of the three alliances, each composed of different races: Shadowrealm (dark elves, ogres, and the iksar); Dawn Brotherhood (humans, barbarians, and dwarves); and the Eldaar Alliance (high elves, wood elves, halflings and froglocks). The single-player mode offers three campaigns, one per alliance. Each alliance has its own motivations for war, and the three stories are intertwined.

I didn't know they had an EverQuest strategy video game period. I wonder if they will be able to port the EverQuest universe games later over to Steam and GOG.

I believe this is an abandonware nowadays, so I can provide you with the ISOs and a patch. However, the last time I attempted to run it was about 6 years ago on W7, and even then, the game refused to run in any sane option known to me. The only way I've managed to run it was through Win98 virtualization. I reckon trying to run it on nowadays Win10/11 would be an even bigger hassle.

Yeah it just would not run. I was working on a shitty XP machine but it was a little too shitty.
