This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Samboy (talk | contribs) at 12:43, 27 November 2022 (The Shattered Alliance is/was fantasy, not science fiction. (It also took 5-10 minutes to start up the game)). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a list of games by Strategic Simulations Inc (SSI), the former video game developer and publisher that existed from 1979 to approximately 2001. In March 2001, SSI was acquired by Ubisoft, who retired the brand name sometime afterwards.
