[@GoodOldGamer]

I fondly remember that game. It's the perfect portable game, which is why it was the best on Gameboy. Pick it up, play a mission or two, and put it back down. It had the atmosphere of the show. It was great in its simplicity.

[@Takeshi357]

This, 100%. It's perfect for casual gaming. And it was particularly meaningful for me back when I was a kid because 1) TNG had been off the air for years by the time I got it so it was the only way to get my Star Trek fix, and 2) I've always been pretty bad at videogames, but this one, apart from the Borg mission (which I could never figure out), I could actually handle.

[@andrewcrawford2807]

Seriously this looks great, gonna have to get it for Gameboy

[@endersftd]

I think you misunderstood how the engineering mini game works. It's not for repairing - it's for boosting power. T = transporter, P = phasers, S = shields. Sending a majority number of sparks into a specific item will boost the system. Phasers become more powerful, or shields become more powerful, or transporter locks and beams up people much faster. Repairs happen on their own, but you can tell Geordi which system to work on first. The only way to get them to speed up in any noticeable way is to return to earth and enter orbit. Repairs will proceed very quickly there. You can also engage sensors directly from navigation mode by pressing Start. You don't have to exist navigation mode and then check on Data. You also don't need to slow down to begin orbit (at least not on the gameboy version). you just ask Data to do it as soon a the planet is the largest size it gets. Edit: Yes, apparently I'm somehow a nerd on this particular game.

[@DgtlRnn042]

Yes! Someone else who has ACTUALLY played this game!

[@Das_Tipples]

Same here, got a copy on the GameBoy. I wasn't aware how good the GameGear version looked, so I've started playing that version now. I agree the controls take some getting used to, but they're not that hard. I wish they implemented indicators around the viewscreen that pointed out targets.

[@TheTurbinator]

You need to do a retrospective on Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity. I still play that game trough every now and then.

[@longWriter]

It's both a case of a good licensed game, and a case of a point-and-click adventure with a serious tone to it. Almost all point-and-click adventures since have been pretty humorous, but I can only remember one piece of humor in the whole thing, some throwaway lines on the Bridge that happen if nothing happens for a while when Dr. Crusher gets on the comm.

[@shadowalk]

The thing with A Final Unity is that it's a game that appeals only to the trekkies themselves. A non-trekkie will find that game incredibly dull. However, it is definitely THE most authentic trek experience you'll ever experience in gaming...bridge commander, starfleet command 3 and STO don't even come close.

[@jagger2001]

Wow I had completely forgotten about that game until I read this. I need to dig it out from the closest and fire up the good ol virtual windows 98 😅

[@RamLaska]

1:33 Hold it. First of all, Tandy computers were DOS machines with greatly enhanced graphics (at the time) they were very popular in the late 80s. Also, the Transinium Challenge was also released for classic Macintoshes, which is the version I had. It was pretty cool. Had something approaching "video" clips, except monochrome and no audio.

[@737215]

My first video game ever was Star Trek Operations Simulation on a Sega Master System. My father's coworker let him borrow it overnight and he set it up in the garage so we could all watch. Just being able to control what's happening on the TV blew my freakin' mind!!!

“A decade that only lasted 10 years” Lmao. The very first sentence caught me off guard.

[@WiscoStephen]

I remember having a really good time playing "A Final Unity" It played like an episode of the show which made it more interesting. The space combat was janky though.

[@ice.t.9347]

Final Unity is still one of my favourite games of all time. Would give my left kidney for a good remake. I still have Star Trek Generations for the GameBoy. It wasn't really better than "STTNG", was it?

[@braveintofuture]

Yeah, A Final Unity was pretty awesome. I'd love to have another game like that

[@DanielMReck]

Agreed. "A Final Unity" was a great evolution from "25th Anniversary" and "Judgement Rites," even though it was from a different publisher. Space combat in most Trek games suffers on account of designers trying to cram "exciting" fighter jet combat into a Starfleet mission simulation. Starships are not fighter jets and it never quite feels like Trek.

[@HeresWhyItsCool]

"The 1990's, a decade that only lasted ten years," may be my favorite opener of a youtube video ever.

[@pepperVenge]

You should do a video talking about the golden age of Star Trek gaming. Don't know the years, but late 90's to early 2000's. I think it started with _Star Trek: Starfleet Command,_ and ended with _Elite Force II._ There could be more to it then that. Some might include _Starfleet Academy,_ and _Klingon Academy._ But from that era you get all the great Star Trek games like _Armada_ and its sequel, _Bridge Commander,_ _ST: Voyager Elite Force._ So many!

[@joshuacalkins]

Some of those were awesome! Hard to call the live action ones games though. You mostly just clicked on options I seem to recall. I loved how the Voyager ones recreated the sets so well, and let you go to the holodeck for combat simulations.

[@casinoroyalewcheese]

Idk about Elite Force II, but the first one is badass. I like revisiting that one a lot

[@mccallosone4903]

Armada is one of the best RTS games ever

[@joshuacalkins]

@@mccallosone4903 Cool! I seem to recall it was First Contact era, with ships like the Akira class. I don’t suppose there’s a way to play it these days? Seems like it came out around ‘98….

[@biffbamboo]

I had this for the Game Boy, back in the day. I accidentally beat it in about fifteen minutes. After the first couple of Star Trek related passwords it gave me to continue the game, I saw where they were going and entered: LOCUTUS... Brought me right to the final showdown with the Borg

First Star Trek video game I played was on an IBM XT... It was 1986. I was logged onto a BBS in Monterey, CA. I downloaded the game in basic. It was a grid system graphic... Monochrome... You entered a heading, entered the distance, and hit enter. It re drew the grid. When you saw a square with a Klingon in it, you hit F key for fire, the typed in the grid square number. Random number generator decided hit or miss. It was crap so I added The TOS theme by recoding the basic and adding the command: 10 play (and then some numbers which corresponded to tones and lengths of tones) Ah the good old days

[@EnsignRedSquad]

Tandy was the British version of Radio Shack. I walked into a Radio Shack once on holiday in Florida and thought “this is a big Tandy” it was exactly the same even the shelves.

[@joshuacalkins]

I played a super fun PC game around ‘97, narrated by Sulu. I think it was called Starfleet Command. It was like submarine combat with a lot of strategy.

I've never played any Star Trek game that I actually liked, but I like your videos so I watched it anyway 👍

[@Dmviewing]

Absolutely fantastic game as a young kid. It wasn't released in Europe so I had to import it by buying from an advert on the back of GB action magazine. It wasn't that easy to source imports back then so it was an incredible feeling to have it in my hands. It felt really immersive back then like I was traveling around the universe. Open ended in that you could get to the final Borg missions which were very hard but the game didn't end. You could continue to roam the universe looking for Ferengi Marauders to destroy. Classic game that I still have boxed and intact. There is also a NES version that is in Color.

[@althing7]

I remember playing and really liking Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force (both I and II) when I was in high school.

[@jackkoffin1]

Holy crap, I remember that Game Pro review. Nothing like digging up a 28 year old memory. When you were a young videogame nerd with no money and no internet, you read your monthly Game Pro magazine, over and over again, until you memorized tips for games you'd never play, and jokes you wouldn't get until you were much older. Looking back on it, I'm glad I never got this game for my Game Gear, that poor machine suffered enough.

[@CaptRobau]

As a fellow creator I just wanted to take the time to mention that you've done a great job editing this video. You switch between the versions, zoom in or move the screen in some way. This could've been a very static video but with clever editing you made it quite dynamic. Just wanted to recognise that and tell you to keep up the good work

[@Cowabunga2304]

Remember playing this on the gameboy! Somehow managed to get to the 4th or 5th go round the missions and got confronted with a borg cube! Got destoryed before i completed it but this was the only level where you had to get close to a ship and transport a virus to it! Never had the patience to find this level again! Seem to remember that there were passwords as well to get to the next level or increased difficulty (Ensign, Lieutenant, Commander etc) and these were names from the show that you needed to be a true fan to know. Had no idea who Tomalok was as a young boy! Space ship fights were cool if frustrating though!

Getting to blow up the borg was a good time once I figured out how to do it.

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

Always a good day when a new Junkball video appears! I never played this game but I did play Star Trek: The Next Generation - Future's Past on the SNES, which was also released in 1994. It's a pretty decent game but in my opinion the greatest Star Trek game of all time is Star Trek: The Next Generation - A Final Unity for PC and Mac(I think?). It's like playing a multiple hour new TNG episode. It's fully voiced and a great combo of point and click adventure and RPG. I still play it once a year. Great video. I can't wait for the next ten year long decade.

[@JunkBallMedia]

Thanks. Agreed, A Final Unity was an enthralling Trek game. Someone mentioned earlier in the comments that you need a specific specs in order to run it. What do you use to run it?

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

@@JunkBallMedia I run it using DOS box on both my editing rig and my laptop. I had to set the CPU cycles really low but it runs great. The one thing that doesn't run correctly are the space battles.

"DOS" is short for "MS-DOS," which is an acronym for, "Microsoft Disk Operating System." Before the advent of Windows, operating systems were text-only command lines. You can still access this on a Windows computer by opening the "Command Prompt." Pre-Windows, your screen was black with text only. Navigation between directories, disks, etc was done by typing in commands and pressing the ENTER key. For example, typing "DIR" at the command line would list all files/folders in the current directory you're in. "Tandy" was a brand of home computer that ran on DOS. The first computer in my home was a Tandy 1000, with a crushing 64KB of RAM! Tandy sold several models in the early 80s, but like all DOS machines, they became obsolete overnight with the release of Windows.

I had this game growing up on GameBoy. Yeah, it's not something that has tremendous variety -- but you gotta remember, GameBoy games were meant to be played for about 20 minutes max. Just something to do when in the car or whatever. The missions would be randomized, so every time you played you would have to go somewhere and do something different. Junkball mentioned that there's no ending, but this isn't really correct. As you play, you increase in rank. Get high enough and you'll encounter the borg - the boss of the game. The Borg are TOUGH. If you can actually win though, you get to see the credits. And then the game loops.
