Let's remember some Star Trek games
Inspired by the ongoing Resurgence giveaway, I thought it might be fun to discuss some of our favourite Trek games. Underappreciated gems are particularly welcome!

Some of my favorites were Star Trek Armada II and Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force.

Elite Force 1+2 are still amazing today too!

I'll go first: I played the hell out of 1993's Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy.
In retrospect, it was a pretty simple game, but it felt pretty robust to this eleven-year-old. You took the role of commander of the Enterprise (specifically not Picard, as he gave you the missions), and made use of the TNG crew to complete various assignments, from cargo runs to
squaring up againstgetting annihilated by Romulan warbirds.And who wouldn't fall in love with graphics like these?
-
Yes!
Still have it. I asked for a game for my birthday that year. At the last minute I said I wanted ST instead. My mom took back the game she had and swapped it for this. I played it like crazy. Although it wasn't until last year that I realised how to beat the Borg.

I just remembered I owned this thing, too.
What a year 1993 was.
-
Why am I jealous of this

I remember a Star Trek MMO that I think was web based, but it may have been a preference I downloaded.
Anyway, I remember really wanting to like it but I was partly too young and the game either had a lot of locked content or needed to be paid. I think I gave it a couple hours total in the front room and never played it again.
Would have been 2003-2008 I think

I mentioned this in the other thread, but my first Trek game was this one from 1971(!). I played it much later on DOS but can't believe it was from a time essentially before personal computers.
Also here's a somewhat obscure one, anyone remember Klingon Honor Guard?
I don't remember it being very good and yet somehow I have an urge to play it again...

I got a copy of Star Trek: Rebel Universe many years ago at a thrift shop. It came on both 3.5" and 5.25" floppy disks.
-
Star Trek: Legacy. I found a copy on eBay awhile back and got it running. Really fun go team up with AI against the Borg while defending DS9.
-
I wouldn't call it underappreciated since it was well received in its time, but Star Trek: Judgment Rites was amazing.
I wish there would be more narrative focused Star Trek games like that. Either a Disco Elysium style non-combat focused RPG or a modern adventure game.
-
A Disco Elysium style Trek game would be killer. Make me make ethical decisions about other species, decide if I want to be a Starfleet or a Maquis, and make awkward conversation with my superior officer that gets me reassigned to Delta Shift cleaning the Holodecks, and seriously reconsider my life.

Who else played Star Trek: Armada?
-
@charonn0 @ValueSubtracted oh yes! Played Armada 2 more, especially modded.

Oh man. As a little kid I burned a LOT of time on the old DOS trek.exe.
Also still fire up Armada from time to time. With all the new ship classes in Online, I'd love to see an Armada 3.
Is this a PC port of the 1971 Star Trek game?
