I loved playing Starfleet Command 1-3 back in the day, and also played Armada and Elite Force recently, though Armada hasn't aged well imo.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Honestly the first one I remember was the VCR board game! EXPERIENCE BIJ! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5258/star-trek-next-generation-interactive-vcr-board-ga

I have played the heck out of ST:Armada and some of Elite Force 1. There was a really bad WII game too, whose name I forgot.

[-] iesou@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I played both Starfleet and Klingon academy back in the day, this and xwing/tie fighter were what got me into space sims

[-] BaronVonBort@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Like many others, Elite Force!

[-] Badnews@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Klear@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

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...

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Favourites Star Trek: Birth of the Federation (Master of Orion, but it's Star Trek) and Klingon Honour Guard.

I used to play a lot of Star Trek Online, but honestly that really felt like a job once you reached the end game, a joyless experience that made me feel like I was wasting my life.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Star Trek elite force 1 and 2 were favorites of mine

[-] MasterRevan2015@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Fluffgar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

I didn't actually get any Star Trek games until I was older. Have since enjoyed a few including Star Trek: Armada II, and Voyager: Elite Force. Have also had fun watching a playthrough of Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity.

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Wow, I started looong ago:

[-] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I had 25th Anniversary, Judgement Rites, TNG: A Final Unity, DS9: Harbinger, and Birth of the Federation as a kid, but never got much into any of them, TBH. I also played the Star Trek Customizable Card Game a little bit.

As an adult, however, I've been playing Star Trek Online for a decade now, so by any reasonable measure that's my favorite Star Trek game by far (even if I'm not a fan of some of the perverse incentives it has, being an MMO).

[-] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Growing up I wasn't really into Star Trek games sadly. I grew up with Voyager in it's initial run, but I didn't really play any games until Star Trek Online. However, that game I've played since it was a closed beta, and lifetime subscription.

[-] astrozoli@linux.community 2 points 11 months ago

I started with Star Trek Birth of Federation played a lot with it. Later I really enjoyed Klingon Academy, Bridge Commander and Elite Force series. Armada was nice, but everyone else was playing Star Craft

[-] Tumnus@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I haven't actually played a real Star Trek game, but I did play Artemis Space Bridge Simulator, and that seemed really close. Super fun game if you have enough people to play it!

[-] icerunner_origin@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Not strictly canon, but I have fond memories of Apple Trek on the Apple II. Growing up I played Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Klingon Honor Guard. More recently I got the PS3 game based on the Kelvin timeline movies. But my favourite to date has been Star Trek Bridge Crew, I've really enjoyed the immersion of it.

[-] Noctis@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I grew up playing the 25th anniversary game on pc. The point and click adventure one. Loved all the ways you could kill redshirts

My all time fave one is the VR one. Have had hours of fun playing it coop w my buddies

[-] RogueGallifreyan@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

First game was Star Trek 25th anniversary. First game ever to make me feel like a real part of a new adventure!

[-] CodexArcanum@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I liked the Elite Force games when I was a teen, but I grew up with and still love WinTrek! https://archive.org/details/win3_WinTrek

[-] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

Oh man, I would have to say Birth of the Federation, but I also love me some 25th Anniversary and A Final Unity. There was a stretch of some decent Star Trek games in the 90s!

[-] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I spent the early 2000s playing Star Trek: Armada and Voyager: Elite Force. Pretty sure you can get them on GoG if you’re looking for nostalgia and a good night of gaming.

[-] lord_of_gloom@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Star Trek Academy comes to mind... Best part was winning the Kobayashi Maru mission 😁

I think I bought it as a bundle with a bunch of other games... Generations and DS9 Harbinger.

[-] Buck@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Star Trek 25th for me, still love it

[-] flyingjake@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago

Funny I never had much Star Trek gaming experience but have recently gotten into gaming more and been a lifelong Trek fan (maybe not an official Trekkie tho). this game looks pretty interesting and I'm now just learning about it since I also don't pay attention to the epic store!

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 2 points 11 months ago

Even Enterprise was over by the time I was old enough to understand Star Trek, which meant I wasn't really exposed to any Star Trek games until I was older, but I did play Star Trek Online! So Star Trek Online is my favorite! Lol

[-] PorkTaco@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Judgement Rites and 25th anniversary. Judgement Rites was the very first game we bought for our first PC, actually. Had some absurd number of 2.5 inch disks...

[-] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I have only played Star Trek: Bridge Crew before, and I loved it and want to play more Star Trek games! Over the genre is great and the potential is endless.

[-] roofuskit@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary

[-] HobbesHK@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

The Star Trek games I played growing up were 25th Anniversary (the ship battles were too complicated for 11yo me), later on I used my own pocket money and bought Final Unity. The Chodak are still a very cool alien race added to the universe. Loved those frog faces in space suits. :-)

Played and finished Elite Force and Armada. Earl Boehn (RIP) as a main villain was a moment of teenage glee being such a massive T2 and TNG nerd.

Interested in Resurgence, my husband recently played it on his PS5 but I don’t go near that machine. 😂

[-] Hatecoach@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Growing up there weren't a lot of Star Trek games. The closest thing I had was Trek on my IMSAI 8080 in the 70s as well as the Star Trek pinball game and then the Star Trek Arcade game in the early 80s.

In the mid 80s I tried Kobayashi Alternative which was a buggy mess that crashed perpetually, but did enjoy The Promethean Prophecy,

However the games after that overall just were pretty bad until Starfleet Command, in which I always enjoyed that series with III getting more hours than the rest. Elite Force series had some good (and bad) ones in it as well but nothing the RTS features of Starfleet Command always got me.

[-] catboss@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

There is none I grew up with, so I can't name a favorite either. Neither did we own the platforms most of the games released on. I only ever got into Star Trek later in life.

[-] Kabutor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Wasn't as big ST fan as I'm now, only played, and loved, the Elite Force ones

[-] AceTKen@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

My favorite Star Trek game of all time was the video board game with the Klingon host. I had everything from the Nightmare games so this was the next logical step and we loved it to even though it was cheesy as all get out.

[-] pflegerich@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

I got ST: 25th Anniversary when I was a kid but I never got far. I remember the space combat to be ridiculously difficult. Maybe I have to revisit it. Next up was Starfleet Academy. That really hit the right spot and I spent hours upon hours in the simulator. In that vein, Bridge Commander also hit the right spot for me. Man was that great. Honorable mention goes out to Elite Force.

[-] Jeso@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

My favorite was Armada with close second Birth of the federation, a very good turn based strategy game. Also played Bridge commander, Elite force 1&2, Armada 2, Starfleet academy, Klingon academy...

[-] n01getsout@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

The first Star Trek game I played was a shareware version of EGA Trek for DOS, which was also one of the first computer games I ever played.

I remember it would tell you a starbase was under attack and you would have to go there to defend it. One of my torpedoes missed and hit a star which made it go supernova, destroying the enemy ship. Fun times.

I fondly remember playing Elite Force when I was young. I still remember the opening Borg level which simultaneously impressed and scared me, haha. Also those aliens that looked like manta rays were a funny and cheesy concept.
Come to think of it, I should play Elite Force 2.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Me and the buddies played a bit of Starfleet Command 3 during LAN parties. It would have to be my favorite star trek game, as it was the only one I played.

[-] negativenull@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Commodore 64 gang rise up!

Growing up in the UK when Star Trek was big in the cinema but not so much on home computers, I had to make do with a few Trekalikes.

STAR RAIDERS - Atari 2600
This game was groundbreaking for its time. It came with a separate keypad that replaced one of the joysticks, enabling secondary controls at a push.

KNIGHT TYME - ZX Spectrum
A cartoonish adventure game featuring the hero ‘Magic Knight’. Sent to the future, he commanded a starship and beamed down to planets.

Wow! This is crazy! I actually just started playing Star Trek The Next Generation A Final Unity a couple weeks ago. I still have my actual copy. So many childhood memories! Hopefully you guys have a much better starship fighting controls, because a Final Unity's are terrible. Lol!

[-] pyldriver@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I have so many hours of armada that I played when I was a kid ...... Now I feel like I should try and play it again

[-] Reziarfg@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I played so many hours of Klingon Academy. Spent a lot of time just in ship battles. That was back when game manuals were huge. It had entries on all the weapons, their capabilities, everything.

Star Trek Generations was probably my first game but I was a bit too young for the puzzle solving and never was able to beat it back then. And Dominion Wars was another one. I guess I was primarily a ships battle kind of guy. Prepped me for games like Elite Dangerous and No man's sky. Glad they're making new space sims nowadays there was a drought for so long!

[-] lucas@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Grew up on Armada and Away Team, but of those, Away Team was definitely my favourite!

More recently played Elite Force, which was also pretty dang great.

[-] GeekFTW@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Favourite: Elite Force 1 and 2, being able to walk around inside Voyager/Enterprise was mind blowing.

But also a shout out to Star Trek: The Next Generation (SNES) which young-me sucked at so bad and found it hard as hell. My old man couldn't get through it either lol.

I've never actually played a Star Trek game before but this looks fun and I'd like to play it.

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary on DOS and Gameboy. DOS version was superior even though my mother threw away the manual in a move. I had to figure out the system locations by randomly going to all of them.

[-] Tallestcolin@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Star trek Armarda comes to mind the most due to playing one match for hours and hours on LAN with my brothers many good memories. Also having another play through of Elite Force 1 and 2 recently was fun 😍 also can't beat a good play of Bridge Commander! Star Trek Resurgence looks amazing nice to see more trek games congrats to the team.
