Nobody else here played Klingon Honor Guard?

I have it, but can't get it work along with Star Trek: Borg

Hm.. there were PLENTY more ST-games. I played these long before I had access to a PC:

Star Trek: Generations (Game Boy, a clone of TNG for the Game Boy with less gameplay-options and with no random, but plotted missions. New mission types were analysis and 3 away missions)
Star Trek: The next Generation - future's past (SNES) - a great game for its time with some really tricky missions to solve.
Star Trek: The next Generation (NES/Game Boy)
Star Trek (NES/Game Boy - two different games)

Starfleet Academy (SNES-Version, was radically different from the PC-game, the ingame-shipmodels are horrible aka non-coloured and the hitbox for most vessels were screwed. Otherwise the game was a lot of fun, at least to me)
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Crossroads of Time (SNES) had a very difficult mission involving Sisko, the Borg and a Flashback to the damaged Saratoga. Otherwise a rather boring, 2D-Sidescroller.

Star Trek: Invasion (PSX) - A Borg-fleet heading for 001 brings Starfleet to dispatch the U.S.S. Typhon, a yet untested carrier-prototype that's equipped with 26 Valkyrie-class fighters.
During the game new Valkyrie-types are invented and the plot reveals a threat much more dangerous than the Borg.
Only plothole: What's Worf doing in command of the Typhon...
The game also has a few cooperative 2-player missions and a versus-mode.



There are even more games for Commodore 64 and Amiga, Most of them just called Star Trek with TMP or TOS themed simulation-like gameplay. There was also a Star Trek V game on NES.

they wanted to give him a ship too big to properly use for ramming speed. why ram a carrier when you can just order the fighters to ram instead?

According to the Intro of the game, the Typhon is alot smaller than a Sovereign (you see the Enterprise dropping out of warp with the Typhon docked under the engineering section for whatever reason, then releasing it to leave the focus on the Typhon). The Avalon would be way bigger

Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity. The first Star Trek Game I ever owned (thanks Dad). I thought it was a cool game.....a couple missions kind of frustrated me.....but overall I thought it was good. Not perfect by any means necessary....but I remember.....*cough*.....skipping a few days of school because I was *sick * and spent some hours playing that game. If I had a number, I would seriously give it a 6.5/10

I could really only play Armada I and II modded. For A1, the Star Trek vs. Star Wars mod was, in my mind, on of the best mods out there. There were other good ones as well, but this was the one I played the most. Can't remember any of the mods for Armada II, oh wait.....isn't there a mod called "Fleet Operations" somewheres???

Pretty much in agreement with everyone else.....Legacy SUCKED! The only thing I enjoyed about that game (cue grilling in 3....2......1.......) was the graphics. By all means the graphics were not perfect at all, but they did kind of look good at high quality. Don't grill me........didn't play it as much. 1/10

I thought Elite Force and Elite Force II were probably the best Star Trek games out there IMHO. I enjoyed Elite Force I more than Elite Force II because I kept running out of ammo in EFII........and that really ticked me off (operator error, what can I say). EF rate it 8/10, EFII slightly behind at 7/10.

Played other Star Trek Games: New Worlds 5/10, Bridge Commander 7/10 (liked that one), Hidden Evil 3/10, Generations 5/10 (almost reminded me of A Final Unity in how it played sort of), Away Team 4/10 (Commandos, Star Trek style kind of), and Dominion Wars 3/10 (that game could have been great......COULD HAVE. Too damn buggy).

Those are my opinions. Really need a breakthrough Star Trek game in my opinion, the Elite Forces and the Armadas and maybe even Bridge Commander were all a valiant effort, but fell short in my opinion. Of course, Fleet Operations is an excellent mod, not discounting that.

I remember those old point and click type Trek games on the Atari and Amiga Never really got to grips with them. They were "Nintendo Hard" as in "you make a mistake that will trigger a game over approximately half an hour from now, but we won't tell you until the game over happens, and then you'll have to start all over again from the very beginning"

Strange analogy, because (almost) every single star trek game on Nintendo had a password system. I do not know about Star Trek 25th anniversary and Star Trek V on the NES, because I didn't play these two; but even the game-boy games had password-systems.

An ironic twist in that case then It's sort of a gaming term ("Nintendo Hard") since most of their games did function on the "die once on level 80, start back at level 1" system.

Sierra were the worst for doing that in RPGs though, but "Sierra Hard" just sounds like a transgender adult movie star.
