I found this video and decided I had to link it.

You need to see this and turn the sound up to a decent volume.

It's one of the best compilation videos of B5 that I have ever seen.  Make sure you choose the High Quality option in the youtube window.  I figure if I post enough of these every so often, some of you will get the hint and start watching the show.   There's all kinds of websites that you can stream it for free.  Cheers.

My favorite part is at 1:48 when the war cruisers come out firing.

This is just awesome! A shame there is no single Bab5 game out there and each professional attempt to make one failed in the past. This franchise needs a revival.

There is one game that I know of.  It's a space simulator where you are in a star fury.  It's a lot of fun and it has some pretty cool missions.  It starts off easy but gets really hard later on.  It can be found here.  http://www.ifhgame.ru/

What's also fun is you get to use jumpgates to travel around, and you find out first hand why hyperspace is so dangerous to navigate. If you fall off the beacon like in B5, you really can get lost in hyperspace   So grab a joystick and go save Earthforce!  Also, playing the game doesn't spoil anything from the show, but maybe it will entice you to watch it.

I forgot to mention that this game is entirely gratis, as in free.  It's made by fans for fans, kind of like a certain star trek rts mod I've grown to love.

Yes there is also an Armada II Babylon 5 Mod out there. As the idea is very good, really bad balancing and some model size issues (notoric stick-to-canon maybe) make the game suck. That's why I said "professional" games in a sense of commercial high budget game.

I've been playing some of Babylon 5 "I've Found Her" (the game I linked).  They've made some cool improvements, including some custom maps where you replay starfury fights from some of the B5 episodes.  There's one from "Believers", and one from "Epiphanies", where they take sound clips of the show and add them in.  And while it's not a commercial game, its pretty professional.  Even has in game cinematics.
