My favorite overall is probably Bridge Crew, because there’s nothing better than cruising around in the OG NCC-1701 Enterprise with your pals.
I also liked Elite Force when it came out, because it was crazy to see the 3D Trek environments even though they’re unimpressive by today’s standards. It even got me to watch Voyager.

Nice, a DL and everything!
I played this a lot.
Absolutely Elite Force. I still play 1v1 against my dad every so often on a ton of custom maps. I think we have over 600 installed. Hard to believe we’re still playing it after all these years!
Still gonna stay with Starfleet Command 2: Orion Pirates.
But I do enjoy the point-and-click adventure games (and I wish Voyager had gotten one in addition to Elite Force).
That’s my favorite 2d Dtar Trek game. Trying to outrun plasma torpedoes was nerve-wracking.
I recently got Star Trek: Resurgence during a sale and was very pleasantly surprised. It was the closest thing to a new TNG episode I’ve seen in years.
It does have issues, but I could easily overlook them for the writing and characters. I found the whole 10h extremely satisfying.
Same here! I was pretty skeptical but it ended up being a lot of fun. I wish it was longer. It definitely has strong TNG vibes, and you can really feel the weight of being captain in some of the scenes. Highly recommend this for any Trek fan, despite the super janky mechanics.
Star Trek: Klingon Academy
You can get it on some abandonware sites nowadays, and there’s even a mod to send commands to the crew with your voice.
Armada and Armada 2.
I really like RTS games.
Armada was also wonderfully modable.
Star Trek Online
Its not really all that Trek feeling, but I like Star Trek Invasion, for the PSX. Developed by a lot of the same guys that made Colony Wars, also on PSX. Its a space flight simulator, similar to the likes of Wing Commander and Star Wars Tie Fighter.
I haven’t played a lot of them, but my favorite is Bridge Commander. I think it was super janky, but also very immersive, had actual voice lines by Brent Spiner and Patrick Stewart, and decent plot.
I didn’t play any Star Trek game… Except for Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Final Unity, which I found at a local flea market a few years ago. So it’s that one by default!
It’s an ok point and click adventure, I don’t think it’s even the best Star Trek point and click adventure available. I’ve never been too much into these sorts of games but I confess it was extremely nostalgic even though I had never played it before!
I loved that game. Especially since you could donate the warp core.
Donate the warp core to a Ferengi charity?
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (1992 for PC). A great point and click adventure. Core childhood memory.
I think that 1974’s “Super Star Trek” is the only Star Trek game I’ve ever played.
Star Trek: Klingon
Not necessarily the best game, but it demands to be on the list.
Elite Force is where it’s at but Klingon has it’s place for sure.
the OG NCC-1701 Enterprise with your pals.
If only had VR still. And pals…
Seemed like great larping. I would’ve jizzed at the chance of something like that 25 years ago when I was doing just that essentially, but the GPU was just imagination. Now it’s like half real and I have zero friends (period) who would be willing to play something like that.
Growing up it was Starfleet Academy and Armada 2
