Inspired by the ongoing Resurgence giveaway, I thought it might be fun to discuss some of our favourite Trek games. Underappreciated gems are particularly welcome!

I'll go first: I played the hell out of 1993's Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy.

Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy

In retrospect, it was a pretty simple game, but it felt pretty robust to this eleven-year-old. You took the role of commander of the Enterprise (specifically not Picard, as he gave you the missions), and made use of the TNG crew to complete various assignments, from cargo runs to ~~squaring up against~~ getting annihilated by Romulan warbirds.

And who wouldn't fall in love with graphics like these?

Yes!

Still have it. I asked for a game for my birthday that year. At the last minute I said I wanted ST instead. My mom took back the game she had and swapped it for this. I played it like crazy. Although it wasn't until last year that I realised how to beat the Borg.

I was, uh, extremely bad at the ship combat. Couldn't take down much more than the Ferengi and Talarian ships.

I was only allowed 1 or 2 new games per year so I played non-stop. I took my Gameboy everywhere. My mother saw something on TV at the time saying that games improved hand-eye coordination so she encouraged me to play like crazy. That might have helped haha.

Damn Talarian's took me down every time lol.

I just remembered I owned this thing, too.

What a year 1993 was.
