Live long and GOGbear.

Sci-fi fans and Trekkies of GOG.com, we've got you covered: we're beaming Star Trek straight onto your computers starting now: it's Star Trek's turn to shine on our digital store shelves! Today, we boldly go where no store has gone before, with three of the greatest Star Trek classics ever made premiering digitally, right here on GOG.com!




--<span class="bold">Star Trek: 25th Anniversary</span>
The smash-hit action/point-and-click adventure that has you play as Captain Kirk himself. Take command of the Starship Enterprise and lead your landing parties to mission completion.

--<span class="bold">Star Trek: Judgement Rites</span>
The sequel to the smash-hit 25th Anniversary, with more and better everything. The five-year voyage is about to come to a grand finale.

--<span class="bold">Star Trek: Starfleet Academy</span>
It's where legends are born. A choose-your-adventure space sim, complete with live-action sequences with star appearances by William Shatner and George Takei.




Beam us up, GOGbear! We're one a voyage to trek across galaxies, and we're taking everyone along. Today is the beginning, who knows what the distant future may bring?

freckhard: So looking forward to see "Star Trek Away Team" on GOG. It's like Commandos but with Star Trek wooo :D Good job guys!
You'll have to keep waiting then (maybe indefinitely), that's an Activision game, not Interplay.

When you run 25th Anniversary and Judgement Rites you see this:

(notice the small print, this image was obviously inserted into dosbox for the gog release)


This seems to me to be proof that GOG have made an agreement with CBS Studios (who own the Star Trek license). And if they've made an agreement for the Trek license, they would be able to go to Activision (who are already on GOG) and ask them if they could distribute the trek games they published.

This had a simultaneous Steam release. GOG doesn't appear to have had anything at all to do with this release, Interplay just got the rights from CBSi to publish the Star Trek games, along with the rest of their back catalog which they have been rolling out both here and Steam.

Those games you mentioned are owned by Activision. I'm putting up all the Interplay games

All of the Interplay Star Trek games will be available.

GOG has nothing to do with this release. There will be no Star Trek game from other publishers unless they make a deal on old titles too. AAA publishers like Activision never do this kind of thing or care about old 3rd party IP's they have lost the rights to. For the forseeable future, I expect all of the old ST games besides the one's from Interplay, to remain "abandonware".
