Anything that lets us hear more Avery Brooks is a good call in my book. On top of that, it's incredibly rare to actually take the Captain's role in a Star Trek game of any quality.
Not only is this a really cool Star Trek game, but it's the last time Avery Brooks did anything for Star Trek as Captain Sisko. They brought every captain together for this game and it's really special.
This game is a childhood classic, it's got all the captains, fun story and gameplay, and great mods. I still have the CD. The space combat may be simpler than bridge commander, but the graphics are much better.
Another classic from the era when they made decent Star Trek games. Flying your own Connie around, enjoying stories from across the eras, what more could you ask for.
This is the closest I've ever come to my perfect Star Trek game. I played this on Xbox 360, and it is one of the very few games from that era not made backward compatible to the Xbox One (and forward). I wanted to replay this game so badly, but it doesn't run on any modern console or PC. The voice acting is fantastic (original cast), the graphics were great for the era, and the ships just feel so cool to fly around. Engage!
There is no other game quite like it that I can think of. A blend of action and strategy, wrapped in a story spanning the entire Classic Trek timeline. Hardcore simulation, strategy, space combat, and action fans could get annoyed by how simplified all those parts are, but the fact that the game could meld all of those genres together and be fun and compelling is a testament to the developers. They obviously loved Star Trek, and it shows. Especially in a modern world where Star Trek doesn't feel like Star Trek anymore, Star Trek: Legacy is a warm blanket of nostalgia that just happens to be a fun game. If there is any con that I can think of, it is that William Shatner really phones in his performance. Every time I hear his voice in the game, I just imagine him in a soundbooth with his head resting on one hand and sleepily talking into a microphone. It probably isn't that bad, but it is the only negative that sticks out to me.
The first Star Trek game I had for PC, I played the campaign through like three times. i would love to be able to have this game going forward, and be able to tell people where to go to get this great game
This was the first game I got hyped for as a kid. Followed the announcement, joined the forums, started a Star Trek podcast with some friends, interviewed some developers and writers, and ultimately joined a mod team after it released. This game holds such a unique part of my childhood, and it would be a joy to see it shared with another generation.
Dragon FighterThe player takes control of a magical human fighter who has the ability to transform himself into a flying dragon. As the fighter, the player can run, crouch, jump, and attack with his sword as he would in most side-scrolling action games. Underneath his life gauge is a "metamorphosis gauge" that will gradually be filled as the player destroys his enemies. When the metamorphosis gauge begins to flash, the player can transform into the dragon by pressing up and A button after jumping. As a dragon, the player will hover in the air while the screen scrolls automatically to the right, similarly to a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up game. The dragon's main attack is his fire breath. While the player can fly in any of the eight directions, they cannot turn around and the dragon will only face and attack to the right. While in dragon, the player's metamorphosis gauge will gradually be drained out. The player will transform back to a fighter if the metamorphosis gauge empties out completely or when the player rapidly taps the A button again.
As the fighter, the player can also shoot a projectile attack by holding the B button until the character begins to flash. The types of projectile fired by the player depends on the color of the player's outfit, which can be changed by picking up certain power-up items labeled with the letters G (green, the player's default color), B (blue), and R (red). Changing the color of the player's outfit will also change the pattern of the dragon's fire breath attack. Other power-ups includes energy restoring potions, a flower that helps fill the metamorphosis gauge faster, and a ring that destroys all on-screen enemies. At the end of each stage, the player will receive a staff that will increase their maximum health.
There are six stages in all, each with their own guardian awaiting to challenge the warrior at the end. The game will end if the player loses all of their life power and only three chances are provided to continue at the stage where they died before the player is forced to start all over.Action Fantasy

Discworld II: Mortality Bytes!Discworld II: Mortality Bytes! is the second point-and-click adventure game based on Terry Pratchett's series of fantasy novels set on the mythical Discworld. The game was developed and produced in 1996 by Perfect Entertainment for the PC, and ported in 1997 for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It was published by Psygnosis for the PC and PlayStation, and by Sega for the Saturn (only in Europe).
In Discworld II the player controls Rincewind the "wizzard" (voiced by Eric Idle, as in the previous game) who has been burdened with the task of coercing Death out of his impromptu retirement and back into his regular duties. The plot borrows from a number of Discworld books, most notably Reaper Man, Moving Pictures and Lords and Ladies.
It all begins in a quiet Ankh-Morpork street, where Rincewind and The Librarian inexplicably fail to die from a nearby cart-bomb explosion. The odd event is not shared by them alone however: occurrences of the newly dead re-awakening and disturbing the populace are being reported all over the city, prompting the Archchancellor of Unseen University to halt his usual activities of feasting and merrymaking, and to take charge of the situation. Much to Rincewind's despair, the entirety of this process involves appointing him to the task of finding Death and convincing him to resume his work.Fantasy Comedy
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake EaterMetal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is the follow up to Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It is the first prequel in the series, taking the series to the year 1964. The player takes the role as the series' original antagonist, Big Boss, then known as Naked Snake.
MGS3 is the first game in the series to take place in a jungle. This unique setting created an opportunity for new mechanics. The player can adapt to the environment by swapping Snake's camouflage, hunt animals and gather plants for food. This iteration in the series introduced a new feature in which the player must apply medicine and perform medical procedures on Snake if he is damaged in combat. Apart from the survival themed features, the controls and gameplay of the game are very similar to Metal Gear Solid 2. Like other Metal Gear games, the focus is on stealth, but the player can go through the entire game like a shooter if they choose to. Throughout the game Snake acquires weapons of all types; non-lethal firearms, handguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, shotguns, sub-machine guns, and explosives.
Metal Gear Solid 3 was the first game to implement the CQC (close quarters combat) system. CQC allowed Snake to beat enemies down to knock them out, or put them in a chokehold to knock them out, kill them, or and/or question them.
Metal Gear Solid 3's health system required the player to occasionally pause the game and treat Snake's ailments. When Snake is shot, there is a chance that the bullet didn't pass through him, requiring the player to use a knife to remove the bullet, apply disinfectant, apply styptic and bandage the wound. This was done through a submenu in the pause screen. Other ailments the player must treat Snake for include: leeches, broken bones, burns, cut, arrow/bolts/needles, stomach sickness, colds, and food/venom poisoning.
Adding to the survival elements of the game, Snake Eater lives up to its name by requiring the player to scavenge food for Snake. Under the life bar there is stamina bar. If Snake does not eat any food the bar depletes, causing various effects. When the stamina bar is low, the player's ability to aim is severely handicapped, Snake's hands will shake in the first person aiming mode. Just like real life, Snake's stomach can also rumble, enemy soldiers can hear this, and will be alerted to Snake's presence.Action Fantasy Historical Stealth Survival Drama
