[jefferiestubes8]

Gameforge announced that it had signed a worldwide agreement to publish "free-to-play casual browser games" based on Gene Roddenbury's celebrated creation

Our upcoming Star Trek browser games will further expand our consumer base and market share on an international scale."

Exactly what type of games Gameforge is working on hasn't exactly been revealed yet, however. Based on the vague information provided, the games could be anything from Trekkie-oriented card games to a full-blown MMOGs along the lines of Farmville.

An MMOG is definitely a possibility, since the publisher's portfolio includes titles

Sounds like fun to me. "Browser-based" means you don't have to download it first, right? That's even better.

I have VERY high hopes for this MMORPG game going off their previous games - they are fully fledged, in depth games not Farmville clones.

This is very exciting news, I'm thinking a cross between Star Trek Online and Birth of the Federation type game play.... this is a good thing!

you have to be online to play them?

LOL yes, call it a flaw of design/premise

I've yet to see a good Browser based MMORPG from ANY company.

It just depends on how you define "good." I've seen a few (such as Adventure Quest and RuneScape) that weren't good in the sense that I'd be willing to pay money for them, but they were nice little time-wasters, and something like that with a Trek packaging would be kinda fun. Probably wouldn't even be tempted to devote all my spare time to it, though (like it might with ST:O), but that could be seen as good in a whole different sense.

Confused. What computer is set not to download things?

Anyway, a Birth of the Federation-type browser game would RULE.

Ah, BotF. What a classic.

It is a great news that there is a new Star Trek browser based game which would be played online. It would a new expansion to the future star trek games which will also increase the demand in the international market. I have heard that star trek is the massive mulitplayer online game which is the latest one.
