Glad you enjoyed the review! Yeah look, I did think that when I first started... but I think the system requirements are honestly more focused on playing some of the FMV scenes. It asks for a Pentium 90 with 16MB of RAM as a minimum & a 166 with 32MB recommended. However, Duke 3D which I think looks better and released a year earlier (although no 'real' FMV's) only asks for a 486 DX/66 with 8MB of RAM :/

Did you find Spot? 1:26 Well, Rick Sternbach decided against publishing a Technical Manual of the USS Voyager. He felt that the quality had been degrading with the DS9 Technical Manual and there would be diminishing returns. Though, if you like blueprints then I suggest that you check out the Whitefire blueprints of the USS Enterprise-D. Ed Whitefire was close to Andrew Probert and had visited the sets for research if memory serves. 7:53 I get the impression that the stun setting doesn't stun targets long enough. Which is a shame or it would have been a neat way to conserve energy. 10:52 The mission briefing, as shown at 8:53 of this video, mentions that weapons fire should be avoided. The game has got its flaws but this one is on you. Besides, I don't know if you recall that scene from "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" where a cooking pot gets disintegrated and the alarms start blaring? 11:58 It's probably my favourite level as it is a nod to an obscure reference from a TNG episode about a planet where exiled Klingons get sent and then this game suddenly has got a secret spaceport belonging to the Duras at this place. 16:04 I would argue that this is a game for people who want to experience just how difficult the job of a Starfleet officer really is. Finding a criminal in the galaxy? Finding your way around a planet while your target is making preparations to leave? That is the thing, the timer is not for show. If you wait then the Amargosa Observatory will blow up and the people you did not save are dead.

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.

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 . . . .

I am fortunate enough to still have the Megaton edition in my Steam library though, the World Tour, even though it has a nice coat of polish to it with new content, the movement feels off and slightly sluggish and the biggest hit was that it didn't come with the 2 expansion packs.

You could drag the ultimate doom .wad file into your doom 2 directory, delete doom2.wad, and that doom 2 will now play doom 1. It works vice versa. Your doom 1.exe file can also play plutonia, evilution, etc... That is if you have the latest version of doom where all the patches were built for this.

If you haven’t seen it, don’t even bother reading a synopsis or any spoilers, just immediately watch it!
I have heard of Momento but never seen it! I’ll add it to my watch list. Cheers for the suggestion. With regards to Second Sight… there is a certain charm about it despite some of its shortcomings. I do still think it’s a worthwhile adventure.
Interplay made some good Star Trek games. I played this back in the 90s. When I got my iphone 3gs back in 2011, I jailbroke it to see if I could get dos/windows on it and play this game, I did but the phone wasn't powerful enough to do all the emulation and play this game smoothly. I never tried to do it on my iphone 4.
Wow on an Iphone, that's commitment! :D
made by the same people who did the timesplitters series. there was some cut content from 2 where he was supposed to be a playable character in multiplayer
Another Commonwealther commenting on an American game.
0:19 exactly what is a modern audience do you see this modern audience often is the modern audience in the room with us right now does the modern audience tell you to do things lol
Modern Audiences = People watching it in present time as opposed to the original airing.
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.
I had actually forgotten about that title! I’ve never played it but probably need to get around to it one day. Although I’m not really a huge fan of the Kelvin-verse, but Star Trek is Star Trek…
@@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.
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 . . . .
This game has an AWESOME online multiplayer game. One was a capture the flag with less gravity; nostalgia I miss this game
I would play bot matches just to hear the NPCs trash talk - hilarious.
@@terrylandess6072 I remember late 2000s I found the game installed it to see if anyone online; no one was obviiisly but that tells you how much I really wanted to play thinking that there would be people online 10 years later
please god turn on always run, guy played the whole game walking
1:11 Would you count "Star Trek: Generations" (the game) as a shooter?
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.
I loved the 2004 PC version, there is also an original Xbox version of the 2004 game, which is backwards compatible on the Xbox One / Series S / X.
There are some absolute gems which have become available thanks to the Xbox back cat stuff! Great reminder!
starfleet command got nothing over klingon academy with the tng mod!
When I can get Klingon Academy working on my modern capture PC I am going to cover it. Or I’ll just play it on my retro rig with external video capture…. Either way it’s probably my number 1 or 2 best Star Trek game so I’m definitely looking forward to revisiting it!
I have a question about star trek Starfleet command, do you only get to control a single ship? Or can you control an entire fleet?@@azordash_games
Star Trek voyager elite force holomatch was my childhood. I spent hours (and I mean HOURS) playing On p.c.
If I had fast enough internet when it was released I certainly would have been too!
@@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.
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.
I remember the good old days of PC demos. The first level was a great showcase of what to expect from the game too.
Backlogs were easier to clear then. :P
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.
Oh wow I had no idea it was that diverse back in the day. I loved Voyager!
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.
Ugh, Elite Force was my favorite FPS. So many memories. I always played as the female Alex
It was actually super cool to feature both a male and female option that actually mattered as opposed to games like Unreal which just featured a skin and nothing else.
first one was very good, second was meh, abd then the sponge bullets came and it became unsufferable. but the multiplayer also aginst bots was very good
In the expansion pack, Jeri Ryan did come and do 7 of 9
I had all the multiplayer maps bk in the day. The PC version was better
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.
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.
Ahhh I remember the Voodoo 3! I too had a PCI one as I couldn’t afford the upgrade to an AGP motherboard 😆
@@azordash_games Yeah I regretted it when I had to upgrade the motherboard anyways and had an AGP slot then. But even in PCI it was a great card.
Dude you're awesome
Hows that quake 3 brush work for the architecture 😍😍 still holds up in my opinion.
Quake 3 games look ridiculously good, like no joke, you could release a new game based on the tech and claim its artistic direction and no one would be the wiser.
@@azordash_games very true. It's just tidy level design in this game. Those curved surfaces in id tech 3 were just mind blowing back in the day.
10 minute gang!
with doom guy easily walking up steps 75 cm tall - he needs no jump button :D (Doom guy is 56 units tall and steps up 24 units)
Haha never knew that. What a unit!
The shotgun is like the shotgun in Doom, it's not just good at short to medium range, it's good at ALL ranges, it's basically a rifle, the RPG and Shrinker is what's best saved for Overlords and Battlelords while the Devestator is best reserved for crowd control of the weaker and smaller enemies and just one single hit from it insta-kills Octobrains. I am fortunate enough to still have the Megaton edition in my Steam library though, the World Tour, even though it has a nice coat of polish to it with new content, the movement feels off and slightly sluggish and the biggest hit was that it didn't come with the 2 expansion packs.
I was scrolling through Reddit when I saw a post about this game and I was like “they did make a new game about Tintin??” So I came here not expecting to find any reviews tbh, But to my surprise stumbled upon yours, and boy you had no right being this GOOD! Thank you very much for this review (honestly you are better than 90% of reviewers out there), it was very entertaining😊!
Cheers so much for the super kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Doom had the better levels but Doom 2 had the better deathmatch.
I found it an interesting mix of RTS without the turn based ruleset. With other ground based games like Command and Conquer finding success - this seemed a natural progression of development.
Can you put some time stamps of which game was plsying? I am trying to get some of the games of my youth, but dont know which are which
👍
I had bugs and glitches and I even had to ask the devs for the patches and it worked. Same for gta too.
I had the same issue with gta the trilogy the definitive edition that’s why I am refunding my gta the trilogy the definitive edition.
Played San Andreas Definitive Edition a couple months ago with the recent updates on the PS4. I didn't have any problems.
@@ReptileNL I had issues with the cheat codes and it didn’t work I did chat with the developers from rockstar games and I said please have a patch or else add Scriptbypass as a cheat and skip ⏭ too. And that’s why my latches couldn’t work my patches couldn’t work gave it 3.5 update 10/10. Rockstar games should definitely listen to fans and especially when it comes to improvements and updates and video game too. And same thing that goes with take 2 interactive too.
@@ReptileNL so agree to disagree with you.
Duke Nukem 3d was my absolute favorite game in 1997 when i was 9 years old. Today im 35 and its STILL my all time favorite game. I play through it AND all the add-ons at least 1x a year, EVERY YEAR.
Well Doom 2 was an expansion pack to Doom 1 really. The Doom2.exe file detects which .wad file is in the same directory and just runs that verison of doom. You could drag the ultimate doom .wad file into your doom 2 directory, delete doom2.wad, and that doom 2 will now play doom 1. It works vice versa. Your doom 1.exe file can also play plutonia, evilution, etc... That is if you have the latest version of doom where all the patches were built for this.
Wish they put Max Payne 2 on iOS like they did the 1st one so I can play both. #Subscribed 😎🍿💯
