Old trek games

Yeap. 100% agree, imagine 25th Anni running at 1080p with the artwork all remastered in HD.
25th Anniversary
Judgment Rites
TNG: A Final Unity (this one NEEDS to be remastered)
DS9: Harbinger
Well, I have DosBox, so running all these games is not an issue... though I agree they would be great remade.
Plus, I think we need a new star trek game in the style of TNG: A Final Unity.
Exploration, diplomacy, etc. (not constant 'lets shoot first and center the entire game around exploding ships).

They are more or less remastered, through GoG.
Star Trek: The 25th Anniversary
Star Trek: Judgment Rites
GoG always sees to it that its games work well on Windows 7, 8, 10.

Hmm... Might just have to get the 3-set they have in there.
Would love to see other games ported to newer environments. I really miss the Armada and SFC series. The modpacks for those things were amazing, back in the day. Hard to believe that was over 15 years ago now...

I will be downloading this very shortly:
Starfleet Command: Gold Edition
Starfleet Command: Gold Edition
Wow, those screenshots made me feel nostalgic, so I found my old CD, and installed the game.
The Gorn destroyed me in no time, since I completely forgot how to use the UI.But that's one great game
I'd like to see Star Fleet Academy and Klingon Academy get remastered, as well as Bridge Commander. (Sadly, that likely will never happen.)
I haven't purchased them yet, but I'm curious - are these actual stand-alone downloads that install and run on a local PC or are they only available via remote browser access? I've seen both being done in the past and I do prefer the former.
Cool. I honestly wonder how these things can exist without the owners of the original property shutting them down. I remember, many years ago, when the 8-bit computing and gaming emulation genre became a big thing, and distributors of emulation software had to keep the original 20-plus-year-old CPU ROM's separate from the core software distribution because of copyright reasons. Sometimes by companies that no longer existed.
Remembering that extreme, almost paranoid level of caution and now seeing wonderful sites like gog.com does leave me scratching my head at times. Has "Fair Use" doctrine really evolved that much?

GOG is very meticulous in licensing its games, so it's all on the up-and-up. This, for instance, is why the Interplay Star Trek games are on GOG (Klingon Academy being the notable exception, probably because that engine was being held together with duct tape and prayers on Windows 98), but the Microprose / Spectrum Holobyte and Activision ones are not.
I know they have some Activision games so I'm hoping they get their Star Trek games soon. Ditto For Klingon Academy, the rest of the Starfleet Command series, the Micropose games, and the old 70s Trek game.
Activision's Star Trek games are likely to never be released on GOG due to the lawsuit..

I remember when it happened, SFC3 was on the shelves one day, and gone the next..Elite Force 2 was barely out when it was pulled, all due to actions of the lawsuit.. (I do have both games, alas SFC3 will not run under Windows 10 but perhaps EF2 will)...I do happen to love many of Activision's Star Trek titles..But I doubt we will see any such items again..

We're not talking about new games and if Interplay or whoever has Interplay's rights can ok GOG.com releasing their games so can Activison.
However Activision gave up those rights as part of the settlement.. I'm not sure who owns those games now...at least we can have Interplay based Star Trek games (at least the good ones)
Yeah but I would love to have all of the SFC games, the Armada games and Bridge Commander as well.
For that matter I wish they would just get every commercial Star Trek Game ever made, or at least all the pre 2009 ones.
