Fans like you and me love Star Trek for its vast and varied universe. We’ve got the classic TV series from 1966, the ever-expanding collection of novels, and the newer action-packed J.J. Abrams films. But let’s not forget about the awesome Star Trek video games that have entertained us over the years. The history of Star Trek games is just as diverse, if not more so, than the rest of the franchise.
Sure, there might have been a few terrible games that bore the Star Trek name. But instead of dwelling on those failures, let’s be optimistic like humans and focus on the good stuff. Here are the top 10 Star Trek games that have kept us entertained for almost 25 years, across various platforms. You can easily navigate through the list using the Next/Previous buttons below, or simply click on the corresponding number to jump to a specific page.
If I may, I’d like to add that Star Trek Legacy should definitely be on this list. Leaving it out is a bummer, isn’t it? But hey, it happens. We’ve got different opinions, and that’s okay.
Now, let’s take a look at what some of you have to say:
– Dizzle points out that the person who wrote this list is a fool. They forgive the omission of DS9 Dom wars because it was horribly buggy, but how could they leave out Starfleet Academy and rank the original Starfleet command so low? Pretty shocking, right?
– Hupy A Bevis wonders if they can somehow get Birth of the Federation on their PS4. Anyone have an answer for them?
– SeekerLancer reminisces about Starfleet Academy, remembering how it made a big impression back in the day, thanks to its FMV story and interesting missions.
– Joel Hardman shares their love for Birth of the Federation, even though it can get a bit tedious. They also mention being interested in the Star Trek mod for Civ IV and the Star Trek Armada 3 mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. Looks like they’re more into 4x games than RTS games.
– XeaKon asks a valid question. Where’s Star Trek Starfleet Command 2 Empires at War/Orion Pirates? It deserves a spot on this list, right?
– Mrflappywilly clarifies that Starfleet Command is considered as one whole series in this case.
– Richard McGornski believes that no list of the best Star Trek games would be complete without MTrek, the first-ever online multiplayer Star Trek game. It’s addictive and people still play it today.
– TekRevue appreciates the catch regarding the incorrect image used for Klingon Academy. They make the necessary changes and give credit to the mod created by Richard McGornski.
– John A. Gray suggests some changes to the list, moving Birth of the Federation to #1, Legacy to #2, Klingon Academy to #3, Judgement Rites to #4, and Elite Force to #5. But overall, they’re not too fond of Star Trek games and don’t think any of them deserve a top 10 spot.
– David Rodolff recalls his love for Klingon Academy, specifically the anti-matter beam on the Dreadnought.
– John Min Lee shares a fun memory of a Star Trek game from 1976 that later became “Cube Wars.” It was a simple but enjoyable game that involved battles with Klingons and Starbases. Where did those games go, indeed?
– Wayne Shook jumps in to discuss his involvement with a different version of that game. He rewrote it, added animation, and even developed a version with his nephew using XNA. Quite the journey!
– Back to the list, there’s one more game that some feel should be included: Star Trek Legacy. It’s considered one of the best Star Trek games ever made. With all five Trek captains lending their voices, coverage of all five Trek TV series and eras, and D.C. Fontana behind the story, it definitely has its merits. Plus, it features familiar ships and allows players to choose any of the four factions in deathmatches. And let’s not forget the developer tools that allow for mods and new missions. Even though the game had a few issues due to publisher pressure, many still find it remarkable and fun to this day.
So, what do you think? If you ask me, there’s a Star Trek game out there for everyone, despite their flaws. Remember, it’s all about exploring the final frontier and having a good time along the way.
