I got the collector’s edition that came with a little combadge pin and a Connie refit skin and I’d pin the badge to my bathrobe and sit playing the game for a while every morning.

This is adorably nerdy/autistic. And I don't even mean that in any sort of negative or insulting way.

Literal "Awww" moment. :feels:

It's kinda shocking how many garbage Star Trek games there are out there especially when considering the hit-to-miss ratio. The adventure games by Interplay were really good if a little opaque (as whas the style at the time), and I enjoyed Voyager Elite Force 2. Supposedly Honor Guard is good as well but I remember PC Gamer savaging it when it came out.

The only actually good Star Trek vidya. From over 40 years ago.

Birth of the federation as well, they should have taken it in a more space empires 4 direction and made it more of a 4x.

Yeah, because nobody could get it to play. If it worked, it might have been awesome because FPS as a Klingon sounds like an amazing concept.

Did anyone ever fix it? I think I still have my OG CD if anyone wants to try.
 
I played STO for at least twenty minutes when it went F2P
I was equally impressed and horrified at its default Quake 1 graphics settings

From the looks of it people have managed to spend some valuable autism XP to make it work on modern machines. Maybe I'll try it later if/when I've got some free time.

Dude you have no idea how happy I am if this pans out. I will let the other robots know to kill you last in the uprising.

uhhhh its kinda hard to rank orville along with trek for me because i dont think im getting quite the same experience, in a weird way i was actually enjoying how its a different take, like the crew are more informal and theres more humor and whatever, which i think most trek fans generally disliked about it? they sucked almost all the humor out in s3, one of several reasons i started to turn against it.

I really enjoyed Orville and Lower Decks but I think it's related to what Norm Macdonald said about doing impressions, which is that, if you're going to play someone, then you can't have contempt for them. They're both parodies of Trek but I got the sense that the writers really enjoyed the source material, or at least respected it enough to make a show for 90s Trek fans and not just a Trek-themed show.

NuTrek is the television equivalent of a child inheriting their parents' toys. The look is there but everything else feels wrong. I've made peace with no longer being the target audience for a show like Discovery or SNW but Orville, Lower Decks, and parts of Picard S3 demonstrate that there are writers who can still channel the TNG sensibility. And that there's a small but real audience for it. I'm holding out hope that they will eventually make what I would consider a proper Trek show.
 
I played a pirated copy of this round about '88 or so wasn't the worst wasn't the best.

This came out when I was overseas so by the time I came back the CD keys weren't working and I think both Interplay and Taldron had either gone out of business or were bought out.

It was on GOG a few years back, but no one seemed to be able to get it to run properly on Win10. It's floating around now with a patch that supposedly makes it work on Win10 so I might have to give it a try again.

I actually enjoyed all the Starfleet Command games, back in the day. Glad to see gog picking them up, too. I nabbed ArmadaI/II from gog a while back, but have trouble finding time to sit down and play them nowadays.

Many of the old DOS/Win 3.11/95/98 era trek games/"interactive experiences" were a fair mix of good to bad. My dad bought a bunch of them. The Starship Creator "games" consumed a fair few hours of my younger days. Captain's Chair was just a somewhat disappointing virtual bridge and ready room tour. Borg was decent, probably because of John de Lancie, naturally. And Bridge Commander was awesome.

A Final Unity was a pretty good DOS trek adventure game. I liked the concept of Hidden Evil. You were a human raised by vulcans before nutrek ruined that concept. The game itself was kinda shit. I did really like Away Team (we need more trek RTT games), and tried to replay it several years ago, but couldn't get the game to run with any kind of stability, so I hope gog picks that up, too.
 
Me requesting a new Star Trek series without all the the faggot shit

Hallie Todd (the Jewess who plays Data's daughter) has a phat ass. There are no pictures on the Internet detailing it.

I'm not saying that I don't believe you (because what a bizarrely odd thing to make up if you were making it up...), but what are you basing this on if there are no pictures? Where else did you this woman? Sorry, too lazy to google, but curious enough to ask anyway.
