Which Star Trek Game would you now play or recommend?

Another vote for Elite Force 1 and 2. They're Half-Life but Star Trek, if that sounds appealing you'll love them.
The point and click games Judgement Rites and 25th Anniversary are supposed to be decent and are on Steam, I own them but haven't played them yet. Final Unity is meant to be good but you'll struggle to run it now.
Unfortunately, Trek doesn't have a great track record with videogames. Many 90's efforts were absolutely dire even back then.

Going for Bridge Commander and maybe download BOTF as well
A Final Unity. I used to love flying around the galaxy in that. You couldn't do much in that mode, but rocking up at a starbase was pretty fun. I think the story is better than most of the TNG films combined.
If anyone's struggling to get old DOS games like A Final Unity to work, an emulator like DOSBox Staging will likely get them running with a little bit of set up.
For old Windows games like Klingon Honor Guard, PCGamingWiki is a good place to look for fixes.
I'm not sure I'd recommend it exactly, but Crossroads of Time is definitely a game that exists:
And The Fallen is the best and only DS9 third-person shooter I can think of.

I just finished Elite Force for the first time since it was somewhat new and started Elite Force 2 the other day. They are just fun shoot um ups but have a better than average story. I highly reccomend picking up the DRM free versions on GOG. They are very affordable and worth the money.
I wish we could get official releases of A Final Unity and Star Trek Borg. The latter has an unofficial in browser remaster that is pretty easy to find.

Hmm. Interesting. Not needed in my case, given that I have gone to great lengths to provide myself with a physical DOSbox, and a physical DOSbook (both running IBM PC-DOS 2000). Somehow, I have my doubts that an application like DOSBox Staging (or the original DOSBox) would be adequate to run Xerox Ventura Publisher.
Be that as it may, I wouldn't mind going back to a 1970s game that once ran on the Huntington Beach Union High School District's student timeshare system (it ran McGill University's MUSIC operating system, on an IBM 370), originally "STARTK," which I expanded and refined as FSTREK ("Fountain Valley Star Trek"). Far from being the archetypal "Enterprise vs. a fleet of not-very-formidable Klingon ships," this involved a random encounter with a single Klingon, Romulan, or Tholian vessel (taking the species into account, something my own FSTREK refinements greatly expanded on). I think I eventually ported it from the original VS-BASIC to TRS-80 BASIC, and maybe to GW-BASIC. It's probably been over half a century since I've played any version of it.
I wouldn't bet against DOSBox, though if it struggles with your software (or Star Trek video games), there are also low-level PC emulators like 86Box and PCem. They require more setting up, as you have to choose the emulated hardware and install DOS yourself, and they're slower, but they have the extra accuracy when it's needed.
