Set Phasers to “Stunning Discounts”
Remember when GOG was called “Good Old Games”? When the fine folks at CD Projekt were more concerned about getting classic games like, er..NOXto contemporary players at low prices, rather thanselling brand new gamesandlaunching alternatives to Steam? I remember (as does Pepperidge Farm), and from the looks of their latest release, GOG remembers, too.
Thanks to a deal with CBS, they’ve just released three classicStar Trektitles to the service, namely the point-and-click adventure gamesStar Trek 25th AnniversaryandStar Trek: Judgment Rites, as well as the space simStar Trek: Starfleet Academy. This is pretty good news for folks looking for theirTrekfix, but don’t want to get into my current jam,Star Trek Online. I’ve also never played the oldTrekadventure games, though I remember being really off-put by controllingStarfleet Academywith a joystick. I was all “Starships don’t have joysticks!”, and turned it off in disgust.Oh, how wrong I would be.
Now that we’ve got these games on board, I’m hoping GOG can prevail upon Activision to let theStar Trek Elite Forceseries, and alsoStar Trek Bridge Commanderonto the store. Thosearesome good oldTrekgames, after all.
