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 against getting annihilated by Romulan warbirds.

And who wouldn’t fall in love with graphics like these?

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.

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

I really enjoyed Star Trek: Klingon, on PC back in the day. It was officer cultural sensitivity holodeck training for the officer exchange program. You had to make decisions appropriate to Klingon social customs. It was bundled with a Klingon language learning program with speech recognition tech. Very cool stuff for 1996 CD-ROM games.

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 really enjoyed Birth of the Federation which was a 4X game with rudimentary fleet combat. It wasn’t a perfect game but it was fun and had that whole TNG computer feel going on with the UI graphics and sounds.

I already wrote it in the other thread: I loved DS9 Harbinger. I remember the feeling that I could roam around on the promenade freely and explore the station (not sure if the game really was able to deliver that). It had pretty decent graphics for it’s time. I wonder if there are others who also loved this game,

Like others here I really enjoyed the early Trek computer games. I played several versions on the TRS-80 Model I. They were mostly turn based but one had real time elements. I actually got in trouble in college for using too much computer time in a Fortran class. I was porting one of those TRS-80 games to the VAX for fun, which honestly tells you how seriously I took college. What a twat.

I also fondly remember this officially licensed tabletop game where you could do 1v1 starship battles. It dropped around the time Search for Spock came out IIRC. I remember maneuvering was important. That was a blast. Wish I still had it.

I also really liked the starship battles in STO, but sadly that was about all I liked in that game.

Edit: fixed a word

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.

Star Trek Bridge Commanfer for PC was amazing. Able to fight from the bridge but control it like 3rd person space combat. Endless and a great story. Able to warp between numerous systems at will. The Maximum Warp version was even better.

Found its still available on gog. Totally worth the 7 bucks - https://www.gog.com/en/game/star_trek_bridge_commander

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

Star Trek Catan. Gonna be playing that on the holidays.

Who else played Star Trek: Armada?

From the other thread

Speaking of demos, anyone remember the trailer for the game Secret of Vulcan Fury that was included in front of Interplay games, touting the voices of the original cast? So sad it was never released, considering it was deforest Kelley’s last turn as McCoy. I wonder if the original audio tapes still exist and someone could turn it into a game…

Here’s the trailer I remember

But also found this “footage” when looking for the trailer

There was much hullabaloo over the game being written by DC Fontana, and of course the entire original cast having laid down recordings. That said, if I recall correctly, they never even had a working version before Interplay folded.

As I mention above, wonder where those VR tracks went and if they could be rescued and turned into a game, radio play, etc. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been lost to time or, if they still exist in someone’s garage , aren’t too degraded

I spent way too much time on Trexels for a while… silly little mobile resource management game. It became more ridiculous when I figured out you could cheat by changing the clock on your phone.
