They could have given me a game where you just ran around with a phaser set to maximum, but they SO exceeded what I was expecting with this game. Solid story, good voice acting, great music and environments.

Just to note that is Jeri Ryan's voice you have in the video, a patch a few months after release put in her VO performance. Need the original CD to get the initial VO, which I still have in a box somewhere! Big shout-out to the expansion pack, which opens up almost the whole ship for you to casually explore, more a simulation mode rather than a game at that point, but if you're a Star Trek fan, it's absolute gold.

Oh nice pick up! Thank you. I did think it sounded very close haha I guess that explains it. I need to go back and check out the expansion pack content. I’m all for some simulation of Voyager!

When I was a kid, I could only afford about two games a year, so I had to be picky and this didn't make the cut. I only got to play the demo, but I still remember how amazing it felt to walk around in such a faithful recreation of the ship.

This game didn't get me into PC gaming but it did get me into PC building. I wanted to play it so bad but I didn't have 3D accelerator. I bought a PCI Voodoo 3 I think. But the pre built PC I had the time didn't like it so I ended up learning how to replace the motherboard and install Windows. The game didn't disappoint. I played it a lot.

@@azordash_games you know I never really thought about that. I guess because I was young but I never took notice that we had rather good internet for the time.... 🤔 but now a days, lol I downloaded it again just for a nostalgic play threw and it took the torrent 4 minutes to download 🤣. There's actually still modded holomatch rooms some people actually still play this game it's miraculous. It took alittle to get it to run properly 😒 but so worth it I truly missed this game.

24 years ago. That hurts my brain. Doom brought me in. Dark Forces made promises. Elite Force showed those promises were real. Today the variety of 1st/3rd person games is almost limitless with something for everyone. I always found it interesting that when it comes to games and the Star Trek IP, the first versions tended to be KLINGON with the Federation being used 2nd if the concept was sound - Academy is another example besides the FPS's. All this time I didn't realize you could shoot the spawn markers/teleport stations for those flying things as one advances though that ship. @2:52 Sadly there is NO WAY to truly appreciate games like these unless you were buying them as they came out. A good example is me trying to get into the Final Fantasy world. I was PC before a single Japanese console existed. I've tried, but I just can't get into it. I even bought the latest pc games/port but it never resonates with me. I enjoy the film Advent Children more . . . .

In the expansion pack, Jeri Ryan did come and do 7 of 9

Voyager was the black sheep of the Star Trek community. It's looked back on fondly nowadays, but a LOT and I mean a LOT of people who made Star Trek huge with TNG fandom did not like Voyager AT ALL. I knew quite a few people that wouldn't play this just because it was Voyager branded. I wasn't a big fan of Voyager but I played the demo and found it pretty good so I gave it a shot. I would say it's branding hurt it overall. Voyager was and still is divisive.

It's funny because I always found DS9 the least 'Trek-like' in they were on a station, not a ship. It was 24/7 shore leave with drama, like Nazi vs Jew drama. Why waste fuel looking for adventure when adventure comes to you? Liked the actors, characters - just not the station(ary) stage.

I used to have this game on PlayStation 2 and I absolutely loved it. After that console crapped out on me I ended up selling all the games off but about a year ago I got a second hand slimline Console and have been trying to get the game back ever since without much luck I might add. Either the condition of the disk was so garbage I didn't trust that it would work properly, or the person who was selling it wanted an absolutely insane amount of money for it.

I thought there was a more recent FPS, but, no, that was the Co-Op featuring third person shooter based on the Kelvin-verse just called Star Trek. Star Trek is a very high and very low mood space when it comes to games, though that's not unlike its franchise counterparts elsewhere - I'm always itching for more ST content though, even if the most recent has been a low (Infinite) for a few reasons.

@@azordash_games Indeed it is! While I don't think new trek is immune from criticism just like anything else, I have enjoyed it despite some trek fans best efforts XD. I bounced off Kelvinverse a little, but i I will appreciate its better moments and for keeping Star Trek ticking over during a down period - it has certainly lead to a lot of trek that I do enjoy, so good times. Maybe they'll finally make that next movie. As far as its game legacy.. I'm pretty sure the TPS Star Trek wasn't a particularly good moment either, but even in the rough theres something good.. such as more trek? I do believe its the first instance of modern trek tackling the Gorn, though, which is now interesting to think about given where some things have gone since.

It's a great question... Generations is a fascinating game, which has actually aged pretty well! I'd probably say it's more an Adventure game with multiple mechanics... although I am playing through it right now, so I'll try and get a retrospective out in the near future.
