Star Trek

Not played any of them before, but this looks great to jump in with.

I grew up with the Star Trek video game classics like Star Trek: Bridge Commander, Armada 2, Elite Force series, and Away Team. I'd say Bridge Commander is my most favorite of the bunch because it allowed you to be a captain in an actual bridge and the moddable aspects of it was spectacular.

I already have and have finished the game so I will recuse myself from the giveaway, but my first Trek game was the unofficial, DOS based, EGA Trek.

After that, it was A Final Unity.

Star Trek: Away Team was fun kind of xcom type game. Which I still enjoy those games.

Star Trek: Armada like others. Mainly because of my love of RTS and trek.

Star Trek: Legacy I’ve always enjoyed strategy games. Im fairly sure it was this game where I had a bug or Easter egg. Trying to beam up Thomas Riker in the middle of a fight I had two ships lock on. In the end I ended up with two of him, which felt kind of fitting so never could tell if Easter egg or not.

There was one online texted I think java based game online in 95/96, where you can control a ship and could meet other players. I was really really bad that.

Also a “Star Trek” game that I’m fairly sure was a rip off of EGA Star Trek that came in one of those bundle boxes that were like 30 games for $10 on cd.

Star Trek elite force 1 and 2 were favorites of mine

Grew up with birth of the federation and armada. My favorite was birth of the federation. Wish an updated version of it was released.

Grew up with Elite Force I + II, and later Star Trek Online. The latter was my favourite, spent lots of hours there.

I played several games but the one that stands out the most to me is Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force. EF was based on the Quake III engine (idTech 3) and came with QERadiant, amongst other tools, that let you make your own maps for it. The story for the game was awesome and it was the first game that I think did justice to the atmosphere present in the show with only a little bit of the cheese. Once I finished the game, I went right into making my own levels for it. It was really amazing. I miss games like that and the fact that they came with the editing tools for them.

I used to love the Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual.

My first one was Star Trek TNG: Advanced Holodeck Tutorial for Game Gear. I wasn't really a trekkie back then (had watched a few of the TOS movies with my dad and liked them but didn't really care much about Star Trek until around the 30th anniversary I think). I remember thinking the game's enterprise design was dumb and wanted the stylized one from the movies back (and Kirk and Spock and Scotty instead of these "random stand-ins" :P)

And I think my favorite one was a heavily modded Bridge Commander. I didn't really play much of the actual game (or "the campaign" as kids call it today) but spent probably around 100 hours playing custom scenarios, battles from the movies and shows.

Star Trek Armada was dope as hell!

EGA Trek! That was a super fun game.

I've been playing Bridge Crew in VR lately too. Video games sure have come a long way...

Star trek Voyager: Elite force!

It was so good for its time. I loved it so much as a kid. I especially loved the portable pattern buffer being a great in-universe solution to explain how a game character can carry many different weapons. It fits so well into the universe that I half expected to see such a thing on the shows someday. It would have been too disruptive to plot development for the characters always to have what they need with them, though.

Thanks for the giveaway, amazing to see you in the fediverse!

Atari 5200 Trek. I absolutely loved that game as a kid and I still have the box and manual to this day.

That and PacMan are the only two games I had on the system. A beloved neighbor bought it brand new in the box from a yard sale and gave it to me around the the time the SNES came out.

Once we got that the Atari collected dust. We moved on and beat Super Mario World over and over again.

I still have a sweet spot for that game. Unfortunately the last time I dug the Atari out the controllers didn’t work any more.

Star Trek DS9: Crossroads of Time on Super Nintendo.

My favorite memory of it was from the first day: a friend telling me I couldn't use the same phaser twice against Borg drones. I was confident they wouldn't put a detail like like that in a game. Not two seconds later, the very next drone blocked my phaser. (Clearly one of Trek's ongoing lessons in the arrogance of man. Ahem.)

Seems silly looking back to think game devs wouldn't care as much (or more!) as I did about Star Trek to add in ideas like that.

Legacy was the only one I personally got to enjoy, but I very much enjoyed watching Borg as well as Elite Force 1&2.

I played an Interplay star Trek point and click game as a kid that I was terrible at, but really enjoyed. Also Elite Forces was FANTASTIC

Academy and Command were my favorite. I just bought all the old games on gog and can’t wait to relive it.

My first game after discovering Star Trek, was Star Trek Online. Happy holidays everyone!! 🖖

Oh god, I remember my 20s; seeing in the new millennium and beyond playing Episode 1 Racer for days with my mate John on his Playstation ;)
