I just saw Doctor Quest's post.  :) 


I've always heard good things about Bridge Commander, so I'll probably pick up that one.  And since I never got around to purchasing either Armada game back in the day (for no good reasons I can enumerate), I'll be sure to grab those as well once they become available. 

Now if they could just get Birth of the Federation and Klingon Academy...  :dreamer:

Yeah, I'm glad I can finally get a copy of Bridge Commander. Also, I'm not a Voyager fan but I can say that Star Trek: Voyager - Elite Force was another good game.
Klingon Academy is another one I'd love to try.

I know Elite Force is widely praised, but I have to pass on that one due to FPS games (especially older ones) always making me ill. 


Klingon Academy could be frustrating because of bugs, but the combat was fun (if a bit clunky) and I loved the storyline.  Having David Werner and Christopher Plummer reprise their roles as Gorkon and Chang -- along with Michael Dorn and George Takei doing some work in the recording booth as well -- definitely didn't hurt.  :D   

The only reason I don't have the original game still installed is because I couldn't get it to run on a newer machine/OS.  :'(  Being able to play it again would be a dream come true.

Hmm. 34%. I think Steam can do better, and I can wait.  8)

Yeah, I'm in no hurry either.  I have plenty of games to play in the meantime.

I was really hoping for a bigger discount in it as well. Several games on my wishlist are on sale but not by much. I don't think Steam realizes how patient some of us can be to save a few bucks.  :biggrin:

They probably could, and I'm sure it will, but I got it at full price at 59.99 and spent 108.9 hours on the trilogy. That's about 55 cents an hour for some good entertainment. At 34-something on sale, that's even better.  :)
