Anything that lets us hear more Avery Brooks is a good call in my book. On top of that, it's incredibly rare to actually take the Captain's role in a Star Trek game of any quality.
Not only is this a really cool Star Trek game, but it's the last time Avery Brooks did anything for Star Trek as Captain Sisko. They brought every captain together for this game and it's really special.
This game is a childhood classic, it's got all the captains, fun story and gameplay, and great mods. I still have the CD. The space combat may be simpler than bridge commander, but the graphics are much better.
Another classic from the era when they made decent Star Trek games. Flying your own Connie around, enjoying stories from across the eras, what more could you ask for.
This is the closest I've ever come to my perfect Star Trek game. I played this on Xbox 360, and it is one of the very few games from that era not made backward compatible to the Xbox One (and forward). I wanted to replay this game so badly, but it doesn't run on any modern console or PC. The voice acting is fantastic (original cast), the graphics were great for the era, and the ships just feel so cool to fly around. Engage!
There is no other game quite like it that I can think of. A blend of action and strategy, wrapped in a story spanning the entire Classic Trek timeline. Hardcore simulation, strategy, space combat, and action fans could get annoyed by how simplified all those parts are, but the fact that the game could meld all of those genres together and be fun and compelling is a testament to the developers. They obviously loved Star Trek, and it shows. Especially in a modern world where Star Trek doesn't feel like Star Trek anymore, Star Trek: Legacy is a warm blanket of nostalgia that just happens to be a fun game. If there is any con that I can think of, it is that William Shatner really phones in his performance. Every time I hear his voice in the game, I just imagine him in a soundbooth with his head resting on one hand and sleepily talking into a microphone. It probably isn't that bad, but it is the only negative that sticks out to me.
The first Star Trek game I had for PC, I played the campaign through like three times. i would love to be able to have this game going forward, and be able to tell people where to go to get this great game
This was the first game I got hyped for as a kid. Followed the announcement, joined the forums, started a Star Trek podcast with some friends, interviewed some developers and writers, and ultimately joined a mod team after it released. This game holds such a unique part of my childhood, and it would be a joy to see it shared with another generation.
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
