Star trek Armarda comes to mind the most due to playing one match for hours and hours on LAN with my brothers many good memories. Also having another play through of Elite Force 1 and 2 recently was fun π also can't beat a good play of Bridge Commander! Star Trek Resurgence looks amazing nice to see more trek games congrats to the team.

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary on DOS and Gameboy. DOS version was superior even though my mother threw away the manual in a move. I had to figure out the system locations by randomly going to all of them.
Not strictly canon, but I have fond memories of Apple Trek on the Apple II. Growing up I played Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Klingon Honor Guard. More recently I got the PS3 game based on the Kelvin timeline movies. But my favourite to date has been Star Trek Bridge Crew, I've really enjoyed the immersion of it.
Elite Force ftw!
Wow! This is crazy! I actually just started playing Star Trek The Next Generation A Final Unity a couple weeks ago. I still have my actual copy. So many childhood memories! Hopefully you guys have a much better starship fighting controls, because a Final Unity's are terrible. Lol!
Already own the game and already love the game, but I just wanted to say good on you fine folks for bringing the post here!
Grew up on Armada and Away Team, but of those, Away Team was definitely my favourite!
More recently played Elite Force, which was also pretty dang great.
I grew up playing the 25th anniversary game on pc. The point and click adventure one. Loved all the ways you could kill redshirts
My all time fave one is the VR one. Have had hours of fun playing it coop w my buddies
I spent the early 2000s playing Star Trek: Armada and Voyager: Elite Force. Pretty sure you can get them on GoG if youβre looking for nostalgia and a good night of gaming.
I grew up with Star Trek Elite Force 1 and 2, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates, Armada 1 and 2, and Bridge Commander. All excellent games that I played many, many hours of.
Star Trek Academy comes to mind... Best part was winning the Kobayashi Maru mission π
I think I bought it as a bundle with a bunch of other games... Generations and DS9 Harbinger.
Oh man, I would have to say Birth of the Federation, but I also love me some 25th Anniversary and A Final Unity. There was a stretch of some decent Star Trek games in the 90s!
I haven't actually played a real Star Trek game, but I did play Artemis Space Bridge Simulator, and that seemed really close. Super fun game if you have enough people to play it!
I have so many hours of armada that I played when I was a kid ...... Now I feel like I should try and play it again
Funny I never had much Star Trek gaming experience but have recently gotten into gaming more and been a lifelong Trek fan (maybe not an official Trekkie tho). this game looks pretty interesting and I'm now just learning about it since I also don't pay attention to the epic store!
Star Trek DS9: Crossroads of Time on Super Nintendo.
My favorite memory of it was from the first day: a friend telling me I couldn't use the same phaser twice against Borg drones. I was confident they wouldn't put a detail like like that in a game. Not two seconds later, the very next drone blocked my phaser. (Clearly one of Trek's ongoing lessons in the arrogance of man. Ahem.)
Seems silly looking back to think game devs wouldn't care as much (or more!) as I did about Star Trek to add in ideas like that.
Atari 5200 Trek. I absolutely loved that game as a kid and I still have the box and manual to this day.
That and PacMan are the only two games I had on the system. A beloved neighbor bought it brand new in the box from a yard sale and gave it to me around the the time the SNES came out.
Once we got that the Atari collected dust. We moved on and beat Super Mario World over and over again.
I still have a sweet spot for that game. Unfortunately the last time I dug the Atari out the controllers didnβt work any more.
I liked the Elite Force games when I was a teen, but I grew up with and still love WinTrek! https://archive.org/details/win3_WinTrek
I had 25th Anniversary, Judgement Rites, TNG: A Final Unity, DS9: Harbinger, and Birth of the Federation as a kid, but never got much into any of them, TBH. I also played the Star Trek Customizable Card Game a little bit.
As an adult, however, I've been playing Star Trek Online for a decade now, so by any reasonable measure that's my favorite Star Trek game by far (even if I'm not a fan of some of the perverse incentives it has, being an MMO).
Like many others, Elite Force!
Favourite: Elite Force 1 and 2, being able to walk around inside Voyager/Enterprise was mind blowing.
But also a shout out to Star Trek: The Next Generation (SNES) which young-me sucked at so bad and found it hard as hell. My old man couldn't get through it either lol.
Unsure why I haven't tried more games but I grew up with Star Trek:The Next Generation
I've never actually played a Star Trek game before but this looks fun and I'd like to play it.
There wasn't a lot of Trek games in my childhood. I mean, they existed I just didn't have any. I remember playing something on DOS my dad had in his floppy collection but I don't know what the actual title is. Could probably identify it by a screenshot because it was like a screen with space/an enemy ship and then a bunch of menus to do everything like an old school CRPG.
Even now I kinda wish there was a Star Trek immersive sim/open world RPG besides the MMO, STO. Like Mass Effect or Starfield but Star Trek, and not boring.
I got ST: 25th Anniversary when I was a kid but I never got far. I remember the space combat to be ridiculously difficult. Maybe I have to revisit it. Next up was Starfleet Academy. That really hit the right spot and I spent hours upon hours in the simulator. In that vein, Bridge Commander also hit the right spot for me. Man was that great. Honorable mention goes out to Elite Force.
I already have and have finished the game so I will recuse myself from the giveaway, but my first Trek game was the unofficial, DOS based, EGA Trek.
After that, it was A Final Unity.
I wish I could remember which, but my friend and I used to love one of the DOS games. The stories fascinated us and we loved trying to break the game. For the memories alone, it's still my favorite.
I have never actually played any Star Trek games, this will be my first
Even Enterprise was over by the time I was old enough to understand Star Trek, which meant I wasn't really exposed to any Star Trek games until I was older, but I did play Star Trek Online! So Star Trek Online is my favorite! Lol
Elite Force 1&2 on the playstation.
I did however play an unofficial EGA Trek and also Star Trek on the Vectrex.
The Star Trek games I played growing up were 25th Anniversary (the ship battles were too complicated for 11yo me), later on I used my own pocket money and bought Final Unity. The Chodak are still a very cool alien race added to the universe. Loved those frog faces in space suits. :-)
Played and finished Elite Force and Armada. Earl Boehn (RIP) as a main villain was a moment of teenage glee being such a massive T2 and TNG nerd.
Interested in Resurgence, my husband recently played it on his PS5 but I donβt go near that machine. π
I have only played Star Trek: Bridge Crew before, and I loved it and want to play more Star Trek games! Over the genre is great and the potential is endless.
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
Growing up I wasn't really into Star Trek games sadly. I grew up with Voyager in it's initial run, but I didn't really play any games until Star Trek Online. However, that game I've played since it was a closed beta, and lifetime subscription.
I started with Star Trek Birth of Federation played a lot with it. Later I really enjoyed Klingon Academy, Bridge Commander and Elite Force series. Armada was nice, but everyone else was playing Star Craft
Growing up there weren't a lot of Star Trek games. The closest thing I had was Trek on my IMSAI 8080 in the 70s as well as the Star Trek pinball game and then the Star Trek Arcade game in the early 80s.
In the mid 80s I tried Kobayashi Alternative which was a buggy mess that crashed perpetually, but did enjoy The Promethean Prophecy,
However the games after that overall just were pretty bad until Starfleet Command, in which I always enjoyed that series with III getting more hours than the rest. Elite Force series had some good (and bad) ones in it as well but nothing the RTS features of Starfleet Command always got me.
Wasn't as big ST fan as I'm now, only played, and loved, the Elite Force ones
Judgement Rites and 25th anniversary. Judgement Rites was the very first game we bought for our first PC, actually. Had some absurd number of 2.5 inch disks...
I played several games but the one that stands out the most to me is Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force. EF was based on the Quake III engine (idTech 3) and came with QERadiant, amongst other tools, that let you make your own maps for it. The story for the game was awesome and it was the first game that I think did justice to the atmosphere present in the show with only a little bit of the cheese. Once I finished the game, I went right into making my own levels for it. It was really amazing. I miss games like that and the fact that they came with the editing tools for them.
I played both Starfleet and Klingon academy back in the day, this and xwing/tie fighter were what got me into space sims
There is none I grew up with, so I can't name a favorite either. Neither did we own the platforms most of the games released on. I only ever got into Star Trek later in life.
Honestly the first one I remember was the VCR board game! EXPERIENCE BIJ! https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5258/star-trek-next-generation-interactive-vcr-board-ga
I have played the heck out of ST:Armada and some of Elite Force 1. There was a really bad WII game too, whose name I forgot.
My favorite Star Trek game of all time was the video board game with the Klingon host. I had everything from the Nightmare games so this was the next logical step and we loved it to even though it was cheesy as all get out.
My favorite was Armada with close second Birth of the federation, a very good turn based strategy game. Also played Bridge commander, Elite force 1&2, Armada 2, Starfleet academy, Klingon academy...
I grew up with the Star Trek video game classics like Star Trek: Bridge Commander, Armada 2, Elite Force series, and Away Team. I'd say Bridge Commander is my most favorite of the bunch because it allowed you to be a captain in an actual bridge and the moddable aspects of it was spectacular.
