Set phasers to stun.

<span class="bold">Star Trek: 25th Anniversary</span>, a smash-hit action/adventure, premieres digitally, DRM-free on GOG.com!

Become Captain Kirk. <span class="bold">Star Trek: 25th Anniversary</span> wasn't the first Star Trek game out there, but it was one of the most critically acclaimed and successful ones ever released. Based on the 1960's TV series, we get the chance to relive the adventures of Captain Kirk, Spock, and the entire crew of the Starship Enterprise. You're on a peaceful mission - the best players will avoid violence and conflict - but it doesn't mean that peril does not await at every turn. You'll get the chance to engage in orbital space battles, and lead your landing party to safety and resolution through thick and thin in a classical point-and-click adventure. Beware, the redshirt cliche is just one misstep away.

Trekkie or not, <span class="bold">Star Trek: 25th Anniversary</span> is your chance to play a piece of pop-culture history. Get it now, a digital premiere, DRM-free on GOG.com!

Thank you, GOG!

You've added Star Wars games and now two of my favorite Star Trek games. If this is a sign of things to come, I am highly excited!

Had the boxed version since 1999 and never got the thing to work. Looking forward to finally playing this soooo much!

Please try to release:

Final Unity, Generations, DS9 - The Fallen, Elite Force 1+2, Away Team, Armada 1+2, Klingon Honor Guard

I need to retire my original discs :-)

Also, some of those are a bitch to run on Win7 64Bit

Final Unity should be an easy one to get up and running, assuming GOG get all the various rights, since it runs quite well in DOSBox.

caribou007: Holy crap— Exactly 7 days ago I wrote an email to a CBS senior VP asking for this. I totally take credit for making this happen!
Pat yourself on the back! ... You may go back to the basement now. =P

Row, row, row your boat...

I've raised a beer to the proceedings tonight, this is a wonderful surprise to come home to.

Thank you GoG.com, Interplay & CBS.

timppu: Wow... weren't Star Trek games supposed to be in an eternal legal limbo or something?

What next, Mechwarrior series and all Dune & Lord of the Rings games?

yyahoo: GOG pulled off the impossible. A press release someone linked to in another thread suggests that they found a way to reach an agreement with both Interplay and CBS to re-license the games for release:

"GOG.com and Interplay Entertainment Corp., under license by CBS Consumer Products, will beam in Star Trek to DRM-free computers worldwide."

It probably helped that Interplay is pretty much un-dead and likely didn't ask for much for their piece of the sales. At this point in time, I think they'd pretty much take anything if it would increase their revenue even the littlest bit.
From what I've read, Paramount Pictures had been granting the rights to market Star Trek games (as opposed to CBS Consumer Products), so I'm curious as to what happened here. Was Paramount not involved because 25th Ann. and Judgement Rites both use IP from the original Star Trek series?

Perhaps due to the Viacom/CBS split 10 years ago? Paramount (or what's left of it) is part of the spun-off Viacom nowadays, but going by Wikipedia it sounds like the rights to old IP of (the pre-split) Viacom's various television production arms may have ended up with CBS at the time. Just guessing though.

Would definitely like to see Final Unity released digitally. Wouldn't mind seeing DS9: Harbinger and Birth of the Federation make a return. You can get the Elite Force multiplayer for free digitally already.

Is this the CD talkie version only, or does this include the floppy version as well?
AFAIK, the final mission is a bit different in the floppy version than it is on the CD-ROM version.

I already own the CD-ROM, but would re-buy this if it included the floppy version.

If I remember correctly, the CD-ROM version contains both versions of that mission via a dialogue option beforehand.
