Am I missing any?
-
Lets see...Starfleet Academy, Klingon Academy, New Worlds, Invasion, Birth of the Federation, both Armadas, Shatterd Mirror and Hidden Evil are the main ones missing.
IDEA: This should be split into seperate console and pc polls, then take the top three from each and see which is truely best.
-
Also, it should be added that there exists no game by the name of "Voyager: Elite Force 2". The sequel to "Voyager: Elite Force" was simply titled "Elite Force 2".
Regarding the current poll, despite its lack of certain games, i'd say the early Starfleet Command games were among the better made.
-
you are missing an awfult lot of *good* trek games...so, no votey.
-
25th Anniversity. ;)
I actually liked that one.
I found KA too hard for me, I'm no hardcore player. :(
But I can most certainly see the fun in it, you get totally immersed with that.
-
Klingon Academy. No other contender in my books.
-
In terms of 'classic value', Starfleet Command 2 is the best. The game with the most potential is clearly Bridge Commander - it has all the elements of the PERFECT Star Trek game, but Totally Games sort of screwed it up (too little content, stupid Felix, too little dialogue from the crew in QB), and it is rather dated without mods.
-
Elite Force II is the best up there.
Bridge Commander is pretty much my favorite Trek game, with the PC version of 25th Anniversary and Judgement Rites following in second and third.
And for all the abuse it's going to heap on my head, I have a soft spot for Starship Creator.
-
The first Star Trek game I had was Birth of the Federation and I still play it. :funny
-
Well favorite game is Starfleet Command Gold Edition
runners up Starfleet Acadamey, STV:EF, and Armada
-
Tactical Assault, I still hope they make a sequel.
-
Other then BC, Elite Force 1, I still play the MP part with the RPG-X mod.
-
Star Trek: SFC was a good game (it still is). Star Trek: Borg was also a good game, until the game glitched up at a decision point where I had to use the mouse.
-
Tactical Assault, I still hope they make a sequel.
After Legacy, it's unlikely that Bethesda will allow Mad Doc to make another Star Trek game. They squandered the budget and looking through the code just jacked around while making it. This is the problem when you have too relaxed of an atmosphere in an office.
-
ah but maddoc didnt make tactical assault, quicksilver did, quicksilver also made SFC 1 ;)
-
I liked Tactical Assault, it was a good take on starfleet command but was too hard to beat without cheats
-
ah but maddoc didnt make tactical assault, quicksilver did, quicksilver also made SFC 1 ;)
Gotcha, I was thinking of Encounters.
-
I anticipate ST:O being the most intriguing game yet. I mean, it uses the internets! xD

And let's not forget ,the Internets is a series of tubes... and everything flows through these tubes at pretty much the same rate.
Jon Stewart - From Here to Neutrality (http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-october-26-2009/from-here-to-neutrality)
-
lol i was just thinking that... get out of my head! :P
-
I love Armada II and the Elite Force games, but I'm anxious to check out STO.
-
I'm partial to the SFC series (after BC ofcourse). I prefer any Star Trek game that involves a major part of exploration and diplomacy, as well as combat. Games such as Legacy, and the Elite Force series focus primarily on combat (as does the upcoming STO).
-
Bridge Commander naturally.. it's the second flightsim-like game that has kept me occupied this long, first one being CFS3..
-
(other than BC, cause we all know it's best lol)
:P
-
well, it is the best, until ST:E comes out... ;)
-
this much is true most certainly...
-
Best Trek games? Well in my opinion, BC takes the cake. However, Armada II, and Birth of the Federation are on my top lists. BC provides the freedom, the video possibilities, mod capabilities. With BC, the possibilities are endless. Armada II provides me amusement. I love to spam Defiants, BoPs, or Warbirds. Nothing more frightening than a HUGE mass of small ships or LARGE, FAT Warbirds coming towards you. Birth of the Federation tests decision, management skills, and endurance. Allowing you to expand your empire in many ways, shapes, or forms.
Though Starfleet Academy, Elite Force II, and, believe this or not, Star Trek Tactical Simulator for the Atari2600 are favorites aswell.
-
Elite Force 2 is my second after BC :)
-
I'd say Elite Force I.
With the cool RPG mod!
Or Armada I..
Hmm tough decisions, spent hours with Armada.
-
What? No Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity option? :arms:
-
No Armada II? Seriously, it's like the best strategy game EVAR if you play the Fleet Ops mod! Hooray for Fleet Ops! :D
-
No Armada II?
I have to agree with FarShot. Armada II should be in the list. People are still making mods for it. I haven't played in a while but with the Fleet Ops mod it is awesome. Armada II's new graphics make it almost a new game.
-

Birth of the Federation got Armada before Armada came out lol. Though Armada with FO mod is cool, I still love BotF.
-
Yeah, Fleet Ops is pretty Cool, but IMO it still can't beat Armada 1!
-

Well, the purpose for FleetOps is to basically change Armada II into Armada I. What was the last version you played? The latest is 3.0.7, which is golden. I must say veteran ships add a whole slew of awesomeness to the game. :)
-
Actually the latest version is 3.1.0! I haven't had a chance to play it yet though.
To be honest, it's nothing like Armada 1 or 2 any more.
-
i'll get back after i'm done with sto's beta
-
Klingon Academy. :P
-
Heh imagine Trek game from Total War series, instead of world map we would have galaxy map with known regions, economics and fleet ops from BotF, ship movement like in Total War series and space/land combat would be a mix of Empire at War / Empire Total War style mmmh... that would be sweeeet, not yet another cookie-trek-game with lots of colorsfull GFX and no depth to the game but true Trek game with epic battles and harsh economics :D oh well... dream on... I bet next game will be Legacy/D-A-C styled dumb shoot'em all arcade crap...
just played BotF on my netbook (the only thing on which it runs without crashes) and it still kicks butt :O why they don't make such games set in Star Trek universe anymore ??? are they really that affraid the game would be too hard for kids ???
-
My favorite game is not even listed. Star Trek 25th Anniversary -Enhanced CD-rom addition.
Mind you some of our younger members were not around durning the 486 days.
-
read this and couldn't resist answering.
they don't make those kind of games anymore because it's actually the adults that play them more than the kids. todays pre-teen players could whip through Nintendo Hard games like they were doing a speed run, yawn, and thow them over their shoulder, going "got anything harder?"

Probably true. Thats if they're even interested. :P
-
my favorite game right behind BC of course would be the SFC series the very first trek game i owned was the orignal SFC. The series was cool for its time and was extended by the addition of online campaign maps and the ability to build and port your ship into the game or from other games such as BC.
And that concludes my 2 cents
-
Besides BC, I have a soft spot for the SFC series as I used to mod the crap out of mine to get all kinds of crazy stuff to happen in-game....
-
Elite Force & EF2 were a blast.
-
I'd say SFC series, coz I had them before BC and still have 1 and 3 :D
-
Hard mode Nintendo games? No substance, no difficulty. Nintendo have always made casual games. I think you're talking about Bethesda or pre-Dragon Age Bioware. :D
It's gotta be BC, though I did get a blast out of (I believe it was) Armada. There was this junkyard map where you could pluck some ships to add to your cause, including a borg cube (Though I may have cheated that one in, can't remember after all these years). There was another back in the days of the PowerPC with a top-down perspective, not official of course, but trying to answer Q without annoying him was a good challenge. There hasn't really been that many that stand out, come to think of it.
If/when the oh-so-fittingly named E comes out, I guess my mind'll change, but until then, BC keeps my vote.
-
My favourite trek game before bc has to be SFC3 with the generations at war mod and then SFC1 cause it had more stuff to do. Then again when i was bored ST conquest was a cheap blast and i would ponder my next move for ages.
-
BC, armada, KA and SFA.
what? :P
-
Star Trek Armada I and II (superb music and lovely action) and of course bridge commander.
I played the fallen as wel, not bad!!
-
I really enjoyed the Fallen, awesome action, awesome levels design and it even forced me to stop and think for a while on how to get through another level, really cool game.
-
i just played EF1 a few weeks ago, and i hadnt played it in many years...
i had forgotten how horrible the characters are gfx-wise lol
-
but you got to agree, some of the EF2 scripts were much weaker than Q3 powered EF ;) also I liked EF I story much more than EF2.... then again if you ask me about MP, I say EF2 has better MP :P
-
I would personally love to see EF1 somehow ported to EF2. EF1 is fun to play but the graphics are so dated...
EF2 is fun too but it doesn't have the same kind of replay value EF1 has...
-

I'd love to see the models ported from EF2 into EF1...though how would they get the rest of the Voyager crew??
-
I'd love to see an EF3. :P
-
I'd love to see an EF3. :P
Or a remake of EF1 :D However I'd never be able to play it LOL (most likely they'd require a dual core)
-
Remake is the wrong word, you mean remaster :)
-
Of course the only way any of that would happen would be if Activision got the Star Trek gaming rights back...considering how pissed they were at Paramount at the time I don't think that'll happen anytime soon... :(
