Are the Trek games on GOG.com any good?

A while back GOG.com (Good Old Games), posted Starfleet Academy, Judgement Rites, 25th Anniversary, and Starfleet Command Gold Edition. I was just curious, are any of them worth playing? I've been in the mood for a Trek game, but I don't I feel like going back to STO right now.
 
Judgement Rites and Anniversary are very old, but in my opinion, very worth playing (at least, if you enjoy point and click adventure games).

I don't recall if I played SFC (I did play 2 and 3 which I thought were ok, though in both cases I had a few mods in.)
Starfleet Academy I played once. I thought it was ok, but haven't rushed to play it again and didn't get around to the sequel.
 
If you don't mind graphics from the early '90s, go buy and play 25th Anniversary and Judgement Rites right now. They're like episodes of TOS, complete with voiceovers by the original cast.

Judgement Rites is the best Star Trek game ever made, so yes.

It has full voice acting from the original cast, explorable planets, etc. 25th Anniversary was almost as good. Stafleet Academy has full motion videos acted by William Shatner, Walter Koenig, George Takai, etc. Trek games released before the year 2000 were often very very good, some of the best games on PC, just like Star Wars games used to be known for high quality.
