Star Trek Social Club

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.

Star Trek 25th for me, still love it

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.

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!

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!

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!

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

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).

There wasn't a lot of Trek games in my childhood. I mean, they existed I just didn't have any. I remember playing something on DOS my dad had in his floppy collection but I don't know what the actual title is. Could probably identify it by a screenshot because it was like a screen with space/an enemy ship and then a bunch of menus to do everything like an old school CRPG.

Even now I kinda wish there was a Star Trek immersive sim/open world RPG besides the MMO, STO. Like Mass Effect or Starfield but Star Trek, and not boring.

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

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. 😂

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.

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary

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.

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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.

Oh yes, I also played a lot of Star Trek Elite Force back then - I think I liked the first title more, likely because I'm more into VOY. I liked solving the riddles on the levels and trying for hours to find the secrets... What a good time!

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.

My fifth grade teacher would let us play 25th Anniversary if we did well in class. My first intro to Star Trek games!

Then went on to ask for them all. Loved the real life actors in Star Trek Borg (including John de lancie!)

I remember buying Klingon Honor Guard and being so bad at it that I asked my mom to return it, finding out later that the installation worked without the discs (the good old days of PC software). I got much better at FPS and went on enjoy Elite Force, which is probably my favorite.

Also waited with bated breath for the demo of New Worlds but can't remember if I ever got the full game.

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...

Ah, thanks for the memories of the golden age of Star Trek video games!

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.

Elite Force 1&2 on the playstation.

I did however play an unofficial EGA Trek and also Star Trek on the Vectrex.

I have never actually played any Star Trek games, this will be my first

Elite Force ftw!

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

Like many others, Elite Force!

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

@Yannik it would be a honor to represent Starfleet 🫡

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

I honestly can't remember the name of it... I remember an old NES or SNES game where you would take crew members on away missions. I think that part of the game was a platformer.

More recently I had fun with the VR bridge crew game. I think I prefer the old school game I played as a kid.

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.

Commodore 64 gang rise up!

Star Trek: The Computer Game (released 1983)

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!

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!

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.

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 wish I could remember which, but my friend and I used to love one of the DOS games. The stories fascinated us and we loved trying to break the game. For the memories alone, it's still my favorite.

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.

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.
