Let’s celebrate Star Trek Day in the best way possible, by bringing back and enjoying some of the best classic Star Trek games now available on GOG.COM!

This year marks the 55th anniversary of the first Star Trek show airing on TV as well as the 100th birthday of the late Gene Roddenberry, who imagined a future in which people have overcome their differences and gone on to explore strange new worlds and seek out new life and new civilizations.

What started as a quirky sci-fi TV show in the ’60s, has become one of the biggest and most recognizable franchises in Western entertainment. 55 years, 11 TV and streaming series, and 13 blockbuster movies later, the Star Trek universe is still growing with unique characters, beautifully designed starships, alien races, and amazing adventures that bring us joy and hope for a better future.



Games: the final frontier
Star Trek also made its mark on the world of video games. The first text-based computer games set in the universe are dated back to 1971, with many official and even more unofficial releases appearing in arcades, on Apple I and II computers, various models of Atari, the Commodore 64, and all the way to DOS and Windows PCs.

You might already know about the adventure games Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and Judgment Rites but an absolute golden era of Star Trek games began at the end of the ’90s and the beginning of the 2000s with new games landing every few months. Unfortunately, many of those titles have become unavailable in recent years and are basically unplayable on modern machines.

This changes now with 6 classic Star]https://www.gog.com/partner/startrek”>Star[/url] Trek games releasing for the first time in digital distribution on GOG.COM.



Discover 6 classic Star Trek games
Preserving classic games is very close to our hearts, so we made sure that these games are up to date, running smoothly on Windows 10, and some of them even offer a working LAN multiplayer.

Every game from this list will give you a unique opportunity to immerse yourself into the world of Star Trek, interact with beloved characters, and explore new parts of the universe.

In Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force you become a security officer on board of USS Voyager, assigned to a new special unit called the Hazard Team. Together with AI-controlled crewmates, you take on the most dangerous missions, including fighting the Borg. Between the missions, you can explore the ship and interact with the well-known bridge crew with all the actors reprising their roles.



Star Trek: Elite Force II takes the first-person shooter experience to the next level with improved visuals (it’s one of the best-looking games using the Quake III Arena engine), and a set of new missions to complete. This time, your character is being transferred to serve on Enterprise-E where you receive your orders from Captain Jean-Luc Picard himself!

Star Trek: Hidden Evil also gives you a chance to assist Captain Picard and Lt. Cmdr. Data with both Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner reprising their roles. In this third-person adventure game, you take the role of Ensign Sovok and explore alien ruins and try to save your team before the conniving Romulans make use of an ancient biological weapon.

This next game is perfect for everyone wanting to run special operations on new planets. Star Trek: Away Team is an isometric turn-based tactical game influenced by titles like Commandos and the X-Com series. You need to pick the best away team for each mission and lead its members through dangerous covert operations across locations like the Klingon homeworld, a Borg cube, and Starfleet Academy.



Star Trek: Starfleet Command III gives you a tactical challenge of a completely different scale. In this game, you play the story campaign as a Klingon, Romulan, or Federation captain. Your task is to customize your starship and lead it into space battles while uncovering a plot around the construction of the first Klingon-Federation space station.

Finally, Star Trek: Bridge Commander is probably the most immersive Star Trek gaming experience as it sits you in an actual captain’s chair, surrounded by a crew waiting for your orders. Combat is not the main focus of this title as you spend a lot of time talking to your crew, managing the ship, exploring space, assisting endangered colonies, and conducting diplomatic negotiations.



Make it so!
We hope you’ll enjoy these 6 classic Star Trek games, all updated to work on modern computers, and now available on GOG.COM. In addition, two real-time strategy titles, Star Trek: Armada and Star Trek: Armada II are coming soon and you can now add them to your wishlists.

As every game on this list offers you a different experience and a chance to meet some of your favorite characters, let us know in the comments which one is your favorite and why!

I don't think anyone is blaming GOG for the lack of discounts - that'll be the publisher's decision - but it's perfectly reasonable to point out that those prices are way too high for a bunch of 20-year-old games. In fact, it could actually be helpful - if people want the games, but are not willing to buy them at that price point, the publisher needs to know this. Otherwise they might think people just aren't interested, which could obviously affect any plans for future releases.

Serpent1989: The last game that I have also placed on my Wishlist is Away Team. I never was a fan of the WW2 based Commandos series, but this kind of clone seems very fun and challenging to me, especially because it seems that you can plan everything yourself, like which team members you want to take for the mission. And being a Jagged Alliance 2 veteran as well, I just love to play something quite similar from the Star Trek universe.
That was one of the most fun parts for me, choosing my away team for every mission. As a kid I really felt like Riker calling "Worf, Data, you're with me! Dr. Crusher, meet as in Transporter Room 1!" I know, I know - silly and nerdy, but that's me in a nutshell.

I see unfortunately Away Team doesn't seem to come with a manual here, which really sucks - there were dossiers there on every crew member, made choosing your team a lot more fun when you felt like you knew them beyond their gameplay equipment/skills.

I don't blame GOG, and I don't even think the prices are too high - those are great games, well worth it. It's just that I already played those games, still own some on discs, so it really doesn't make much sense for me to buy them at full price right now when I have a backlog of stuff I've yet to play even once.

Cool, I cannot wait for getting the same feeling soon enough. :) Having no manual is maybe a bad point, but exploring the game on your own doesn't have to be that bad. In fact, I love learning the game while playing it at the same time and even if there are no extras included, I am happy enough for just being able to play these games, because there was a time when I have believed that they would never show up here at all. :)

Quite the coup!

Both Elite Forces, Bridge Commander, and Hidden Evil.

Great stuff.

And a personal favorite of mine: Away Team.

The price points make it rough to grab in one go, but knowing that it will be here is more than enough for now.

GOG.com: ...
Congratulations and thanks GOG, Activision, CBS!

I'd encourage the staff to complete the appropriate wishlist entries as they find time; I'll try to gather them up later if they don't already end up completed. :)

Personally I'd like to see the CoD games from Activision here (at least CoD warchest). In recent years Activision has actually been more active here than other "AAA" publishers I think.

Also I think (as in, imo ;) the price is fair - the Star Trek IP "name" + at least some compatibility work done. $10 a pop ain't bad. However a small bundle discount might have been nice, $45-50 for $60 sold separately. (and of course you can wait for sale discounts probably in a few months - granted this is Activision so it might not be much)

Very happy for the Trekkies out there, but now I demand a similar event for next May 4 (or even earlier, I'm not complaining) with all the many missing Star Wars games, also because 2021 marks the 50th anniversary of Lucasfilm and they are already late. :P

Some looks interesting, wishlisted for now.
Another bunch of games I would buy in an instant if they were a fair price. Some of them I have on disc, but would still buy here at GOG ... price dependent.

Looks like they will have to join several others in the same boat price wise ... only to be bought in a good discount sale.

Always good to have hope drawing me back to GOG regularly, I suppose. Though I am getting mighty tired of some of them never getting a proper discount. Some sure do like to milk their old games and steal us blind. Honestly, I'd rather go without, than feel like I have been taken advantage of.
Where is Starfleet Command 2?
Ill get bridge commander but which of the others are worth it?

jacknozwad: Where is Starfleet Command 2?
SFC2 and Orion Pirates were published by Interplay, not Activision. Today's release are all Activision Trek titles.

The source codes of SFC2 and OP are with Dynaverse.net the last I checked.

Niggles: Ill get bridge commander but which of the others are worth it?
Depends on your genre preferences, I guess.

Both Elite Force titles are solid FPS games well worth playing.

The upcoming Armada games are good, too. Solid RTS games with fun gameplay and (in part 1 at least) an interesting story campaign.

Haven't played the others myself.
Awesome job GoG! I hope in the near future, you add Star Trek: Klingon Academy too!
Still waiting for Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity

l8r!
