Did Accolade's Star Control ever come out for SNES?

I was listening to the "Well Versed in the Classics" podcast recently (pretty decent retro podcast by the way) and they discussed Accolade's Star Control series. I played the first two on PC back in the day and I'd love to play the first game again since it came out on a variety of platforms including the Sega Genesis.

I could have sworn I also saw it for SNES (I don't own a Genesis but I do own a SNES) and in fact, when I did a search for snes star control I saw Good Old Days did a review of SNES Star Control
http://www.goodolddays.net/snes/0_3_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_0_en_0_467_show_1_0_0_0_8/
but that link is broken so I tried the other link

but that's also broken.

Wikipedia only mentions the Genesis as a console that played Star Control 1 (the others being PCs). So am I wrong in my recollection that the SNES had a version? Anyone else remember? It does not show in the Wikipedia list of SNES games so I guess me and Good Old Days are wrong?
 
When it comes to complete info on console games, I wouldn't take wikipedia as a good source. As far as the GOG review, it could have been a ROM. Did you try the wayback machine?

Anyways, Moby doesn't show an SNES release for Star Control...

They don't have anything for SNES over the entire series either.

SCII did get released as freeware and I've found a port for Xbox 360, but nothing like a real SNES release.

I did, but those links didn't yield any results. A lot of other pages from that same page did, though, so they have requested that that specific one be removed for some reason.

I didn't see it on any of the ROM sites I used to frequent, either.
