1st Star Trek game played..actually was one I made as a teenager back in the 70s..developed it in '76, was a strategic game, and I playtested it at a Star Trek convention back in '76..couldn't get it published as I had no idea how to get the rights..

Second game was a computer game on a Commodore PET.. Super Star Trek..

Then I got into Starfleet Battles.. played it for years in the 1980s/ had the minatures did it for hours on the weekends with some gaming geek buddies.

http://gaming.trekcore.com/orionpirates/

in 2002, I received Starfleet Command III (was the last new purchase game I have done,
everything else bargain basement or used!)
http://gaming.trekcore.com/starfleetcommand3/

For a LONG time after that, I kept playing my old games (SFC series and Elite Force)keeping them fresh with mods and the like.

Then in 2011 a friend GAVE me Star Trek Elite Force II and I've gone through it's single player campaign..very fun
http://gaming.trekcore.com/eliteforce2/

Latest game is bargain basement
Star Trek the Video Game (2013) a buggy mess, but I do hope to find modders working the bugs out (but for a $3.95 download price, I can live with that)
http://gaming.trekcore.com/startrek/
 
My top 3 games: (all on PC and modded)

#3 Star Trek: Armada II - The best Trek RTS in my opinion.
#2 Star Trek Legacy - For space battles with great graphics.
#1 Star Trek: Bridge Commander - For epic high ship count battles. It's the best way to experience Dominion battles or a fleet battle against a TNG Best of Both Worlds cube.
 
Growing up in the late 1990s/early2000s was a great time for Trek Gaming.

PC Games:

Star Trek Generations (although I could never get my copy to work, looked fun)
Star Trek TNG - A Final Unity
Star Trek Hidden Evil - almost like a TNG sequel to Insurrection
Star Trek Armada - Activisions first RTS
Star Trek Starfleet Academy
Star Trek Klingon Academy
Star Trek Starfleet Command I + II - Empire at War
Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force
Star Trek: ConQuest Online - kinda like an online trading card game. had loads of fun with it. my first real online MP game.
Star Trek Armada II
Star Trek Bridge Commander
Star Trek Starfleet Command III
Star Trek Elite Force II
Star Trek Borg + Klingon - the interactive movie games. always got stuck on the part where you had to press the little button underneat the phaser. had to do it like 20+ times before Q finally just advanced to the next scene.


ahhh, the good old days. Just finished replaying Voyager Elite Force + Expansion. Almost done with Elite force II, and I just finished the Federation campaign for Armada I and a few missions into the Klingon campaign. Man these games are fun.
 
I haven't been much of a Trek gamer over the years

Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator (Atari 2600)
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (NES)
Star Trek: Legacy (XBOX 360) - didn't finish
Star Trek Online - (PC) - only played for an hour
Star Trek Trexels (Mobile) - currently playing but probably not for long

The only one I really liked was the 25th Anniversary game, I remember kind of enjoying the Atari game but I'd never seen any Trek movies or episodes at the time. Legacy was a rental and pretty cool, but so buggy that I got frustrated and didn't bother finishing it, just returned it. What are some good flight/battle simulators?
 
I used to play VOY: Elite Force online a lot.

And I played DS9: The Fallen over and over. That was a freakin' awesome game, and I always wished there was a multiplayer version.

I wanted to play EF2, but it seemed to have faded into obscurity fairly quickly. Maybe I'll look for it used on ebay sometime.

Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator (Atari 8-bit computer - 1200xl if I recall correctly)
Star Trek: The Kobayashi Alternative (PC, DOS - first game I ever played on an IBM compatible, and still one of the best Trek games)
Star Trek: The Role Playing Game (Tabletop RPG. Gotten from a garage sale, not sure if it was complete. I did not play this except one time with a couple of my cousins and I'm pretty sure we didn't play it right. I really only used the book art as a basis to draw stuff - mostly ships, both shown in the book and loosely based on those.)
Star Fleet I: The War Begins (PC, not technically Trek, but had enough of the same flavor that I count it)
Star Trek: The Rebel Universe (PC, DOS)
Star Trek: The Promethean Prophecy (PC, DOS, got this after The Rebel Universe even though it came out before)
A homebrew multi-sci-fi franchise RPG that borrowed most heavily from Star Trek, Star Wars, and BSG (TOS) with rules based on half-remembered D&D rules. (Tabletop RPG)
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (PC, DOS, one of the best PC games ever, much less Trek games)
Star Trek: Judgement Rites (PC, DOS, great game, but honestly, my memory kind of bleeds this and the 25th Anniversary game together)
Starfleet Academy: Starship Bridge Simulator (Super NES. Very enjoyable, and I actually beat it, too. :) )
Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive VCR Board Game - A Klingon Challenge (VHS. "Experience Bij!" :klingon: :lol:)
Star Trek Customizable Card Game (collected some cards, but never played)
Star Trek: The Next Generation – A Final Unity (PC, DOS, one of the best PC games ever, much less Trek games)
Star Trek: Klingon (Windows. I remember this being alright, and not much more about it.)
Star Trek: Borg (Windows. I remember this being buggy as heck, and not much more.)
Star Trek The Next Generation Roleplaying Game (Tabletop RPG, got the sourcebook and a few accessory books. Never played - the system *sucked*)
Star Fleet Battles (Tabletop Wargame. Played once with highly enthusiastic friends. I know this will be blasphemy to many here, but I hated it. Too much number crunching for not enough fun, and the feel of Starfleet was all wrong.)
Star Trek: Starship Creator (Windows. Too limited.)
Star Trek: Armada (Windows)
Star Trek: Starship Creator Warp II (Windows. Still too limited.)
Star Trek: Voyager Elite Force (Windows, another Doom clone. Bleh.)
Star Trek: Shattered Universe (Playstation 2. Mirror Universe stuff - a lot of fun.)
Star Trek: Armada II (Windows. A lot of people give the Armada games grief for being "bad Trek". Probably true, but my son and I had a lot of fun playing them multiplayer, so whatever. ;) )
Star Trek Online (Windows. This game is made by Cryptic Studios that also made City of Heroes, which I loved. And it is similar in a lot of ways, and I enjoy those. But the differences get annoying over time, the missions are too easy, and the overall story is on rails. I still log in now and then, play a little. And I'll give it this: it finally has a nice version of what I think they were going for with the earlier Starship Creator softwares.)
Star Trek Timelines (Android. I installed this just long enough to determine that it seemed very dumb and, like many "social games", like an attempt to separate me from money. Bleh.)

* = Denotes the best Star Trek games I've played.

Aside from a Trekkie, I'm a gamer, and I can tell you some of these games stand up well as games in general - Judgement Rites remains one of the best things I've ever played (keeping such company in my estimation as Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Demon's Souls/Dark Souls, X-COM, Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry, Mass Effect, Star Wars: Dark Forces, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, etc) - EGA Trek could be considered an early Roguelike along the lines of Ancient Domains of Mystery - and the fully-filmed video cutscenes in things like Klingon Academy put the cutscenes in most modern games to shame.
 
This thread sure does bring memories. I loved playing DS9: The Fallen & Elite Force, but what I really enjoyed playing was Star Trek Borg. It really felt as I was a part of the bridge crew and Q was hilarious. According to eBay listing, there is also a Japanese DVD version of the game (wonder how you play it on DVD, anyone had a chance?):

"Star Trek: Borg was released in 1996 by Simon & Schuster as a computer game for PC and Mac. In Japan it was supposed to be released by DataHouse Beagle as first ever interactive DVD movie in 2000, but was put on indefinite hold. It has 4:3 aspect ratio and 640x480 video, much better quality than computer release of the game. The language is switchable between English and Japanese."
