7 Official Non-Canon Live Action Star Trek Stories

[@drake005]

I miss the Star Trek Experience so much. I had my wedding reception there. Klingons buying me and my new wife drinks. Ferengi sifting through the gifts and offering me latinum for them. There was even an Andorian and a Borg roaming around. It was a great time.

[@boredfangerrude]

Lol, what a wedding.

[@Hiraghm]

"Ferengi sifting through the gifts and offering me latinum for them"... because that's what white men do...

[@MrDavidDeakin]

Back just before Voyager aired there was an interactive website (or cd/dvd) where the ship and characters were introduced to the viewer. Each character spoke to you, the viewer, and described their duties and part of the ship. I had the video clips as avi files but was never quite sure where they came from.

[@trh7059]

That’s awesome. What year?

[@faalonikdovah982]

Hiraghm wtf? Where are you going with this?

[@CyborgCollective]

John Delancey looks like he was having a lot of fun filming that Q game.

[@UnimatrixOne]

Imagine a whole _Q - the movie_ !

[@janderson7925]

"Borg" was worth playing just to listen to 'Q' DeLancie berate you every time you screw something up.

[@SkipTerrio]

The Star Trek Experience in Vegas was my only reason for going to Vegas. Wandering through the museum and the shops on the Promenade, having a Warp Core Breach at Quark's Bar... geek heaven. I miss it terribly. Not live action, but as far as games go, Bridge Commander and the two Voyager Elite Force games were absolutely superb. Sort of an in between was the Interactive Technical Manual. It made use of all of the TNG sets, allowing you, by means of QuickTime 360, to take a totally self-guided, in-depth tour of the ship. You could mess around with consoles, fire phasers, ride turbolifts, and get all kinds of ship technical info as well as production info from the series. Really neat.

[@k1productions87]

One year, I had gone with two friends, and made each of us a Voyager-style uniform. While that in itself was cool, the moment that stands out is when we were all at the restaurant there, each having ordered a Frozen Hirogen (which was a non-alcoholic drink). The Klingon had come up to us, taken one of our drinks, held it up for all to see and bellowed out "THIS is not a WARRIOR'S DRINK!!!"

[@Dargonhuman]

K1productions Oh Lordy, the costumed actors they had wandering around the place were so on-point, and they really sold the illusion, didn't they? I went with my parents, and at the time I was just a year too young to drink, but our standout experience was one of the Klingon women was being harassed by a Ferengi man at one point, then later we crossed paths with the same woman. My stepdad tried to say something to the effect of, "You know, if that Ferengi bothers you again, I do know karate..." Before he could finish, however, she snarled, leaned into his face and bellowed, "What are you saying, human? That I cannot take care of myself?!" My mom bolted one direction, I bolted the other and left him to face an enraged Klingon by himself. That was in 2001, and we would still laugh about it right up until my mom passed away a couple years ago.

[@k1productions87]

Hehe, that sounds like an amazing experience. Unlike other theme parks where the costumed performers are usually just quiet and posing for pictures, STTE's had full backstories and everything, and it was amazing. I wish it wasn't stuck inside the Hilton, making it impossible to build outward. And if STTE had held on for one more year, Star Trek (2009) would have surely resulted in a boost in attendance

[@MKDumas1981]

Anyone else remember the _Voyager_ episode "Infinite Regress", when Seven developed multiple personalities? One of them was "The Son of Kavok (K'Vok?)". If Robert O'Reilly's Kavok is that character's father (which the time, and relative ages support), that would make "Star Trek: The Next Generation:" A Klingon Challenge" canon.

[@RJThompson3rd]

I'm so glad you saw Star Trek: The Experience. I worked there for years as a performer and it's makes me smile to hear that people really did enjoy it

[@marcch72]

Loved the Star Trek Klingon game with Robert O'Reilly as Gowron. Loved how he could get angry if you messed up and the story itself was quite fun

[@enthusia492]

oh man, I loved that I had the chance to see the Klingon Experience in Vegas as a kid. Standing on the Enterprise D bridge was magical.

[@mwerny314]

Dave, I really love the fact that you dive into Star Trek in your videos from time to time. If memory serves, I'm almost certain that my wife and I were there the same day that you were those many years ago at Star Trek: The Experience and took the backstage tour. It is really sad that they haven't returned to doing something of that size and scope again. It was truly unique.

[@travishoovestol3938]

I never got to do the Star Trek experience. One of my greatest disappointments. I'm jealous of those who did.

[@SciFiFan2012]

I never made it to the Experience either, and it sucks that it can't be recreated.

[@AubreySciFi]

The Next Generation and Classic Trek Bridges will both be in the Hollywood Sci-Fi museum. Opening early next year in Topanga Canyon, CA. Follow www.hollywoodscifi.com for details!

[@chrispeplinski7306]

The borg experience was great

[@czdaniel1]

TOPANGA!!

[@akcalo]

Travis Hoovestol me too 😢

[@jasonschlierman412]

I once worked at Star Trek The Experience. Fun times.

[@scottmantooth8785]

serious geek cred displayed....respect

[@salvus7021]

I remember star trek experience a lil earlier than the Borg experience. Craziest thing (besides being on the bridge) was the way it felt like I went through a transporter. I had forgotten about the Borg game but all that footage brought it back.

[@Elemental2000]

Those were the days... I remember all of these. I recall going in to Future Shop in another city and picking up Star Trek Borg as a kid. I was so pumped to play it but then couldn't get it to work on my computer. Starfleet Academy blew me away as a kid. I always wanted to get that VCR game but could never find it and missed out on Star Trek The Experience unfortunately. :(

[@lisaslobe]

I got to do the Star Trek Experience in the late '90s with my family (holy sheeet, it's been 20 years). I completely agree: the simple experience of standing on the bridge of the Enterprise was worth the price of admission. GEEKDOM ACHIEVED! It's a shame they decommissioned it, as I absolutely would've tried to convince the Future Mr. Dzone to go there on our honeymoon.

[@sorenzx1923]

Oh, i loved that old Klingon Challenge! My friends and i played it many times back in the day

[@909sickle]

I know you said you're a Star Trek fan, but I had no idea how much - you're the real deal!

[@KristoferOlafsson]

These bring me back. I miss these. I think I kind of want to play them again.

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

Benjamin Sisko became my favourite captain when he punched Q in the fucking face!

[@thebenc1537]

Yeah but then he made that damn Thong Song and I hated him again.

[@TheAutistWhisperer]

The BenC Oi! That was a classic.

[@nikolazitnik3726]

What? Those aren't Klingons, Klingons are big monster men that look like Uruk-Hai. Where did you find this footage Dave?!

[@patriotastronomer6780]

I never really got into the games. I used to live in Las Vegas and made many trips to Star Trek the Experience. (still have the tickets) I moved there about two months before it opened. It was delayed multiple times because of technical issues. Actually, I still have two of the Space Quest Casino glasses from the bar there also. (You had to go through the casino to get to the Experience.) Thank you for the flash backs!

[@Serahpin]

Watching a playthrough "movie" of Star Trek:Borg is worth the time, even if the actual game isn't great. And the transporter for the Star Trek Experience was just phenomenal.

[@Dargonhuman]

By the Great Bird, yes! I had no idea what to expect from that the first time, so I had to go through it a couple more times to truly appreciate the effect. I'm still not 100% sure of everything that was happening, and I'm sure there are some technical explanations out there for it, but yea, that was awesome. I still giggle at the part of the opening video before the transporter when they say pregnant women can't go on the ride and the baby daddy just kind of shrugs at her and then takes her place in line like, "Aw, babes, sucks to be you. I'll be sure to tell you all about it when I get off."

[@ZipplyZane]

Honestly, playing it is pretty great, too. I had planned on trying to put the whole game up on KZbin, but never did it because they kept saying they were going to be getting rid of annotations soon. It's limited, sure. But if you go in expecting an interactive movie, not a game, and are enough of a Trekkie to want to read all the info in the tricorder, it works.

[@destinycaptain247]

It’s also worth noting that most of actors in STBorg and STKlingon were all actors that have appeared in TNG, DS9, And VOY as various characters.

[@vegeta002]

The Star Trek VCR board game? Man, that brings back memories...

[@Transfixed]

So happy i managed to do the Borg experience in Vegas before it shut down. Although enjoying a drink at Quark's bar was even better.

[@davenathan2002]

Hit me with that sweet nerdy goodness, Dave.

[@LaughingMan_d8D]

The only Star Trek video game I've ever played was Star Voyager Elite Force.

[@Metal_Enjoyer]

Laughing.Man.d8D the best one

[@pferreira1983]

The best Star Trek game is of course A Final Unity.

[@FlamingRobzilla]

Sadly that game is incompatible with the current version of windows. It won't even run in compatability mode.

[@Athonite]

To be fair, it's almost impossible to get A Final Unity to work on a DOS PC from that era, even if it met the requirements. Considering it has the voices of the whole TNG cast it deserves a remaster for modern PCs.

[@pferreira1983]

@tacomeat666 GOG know we want it but more people need to ask for it.

[@maciek_k.cichon]

As I don't usually agree with you, this list and commentary was spot on. I miss those simple games times.

[@missmetal]

I didn't expect to be so afraid when I stood directly in front of the live action borg in Vegas, but I definitely covered my neck and left the front row. Nanotubules...not today!

[@jacklai633]

I want to watch these Star Trek TV commercials and infomercials mentioned in the beginning! Where can I watch them?

[@horusrage]

+The Dave Cullen Show Sorry just a point about Star Trek Borg. The Ship that is a shown is the USS Cheyenne. While yes it is stock footage of the Enterprise D from the show the opening transmission in the intro suggests your on the Cheyenne not the Enterprise D. (which is confirmed in the book and audiobook) They did end up using the Voyager sets but that could just convey that the Cheyennes time of construction is later and closer to Voyagers construction time. Plus there are some variances between the internal look of federation ships. You are right about the uniforms they do no match the uniforms used at the time in the show chronologically. I personally thought it would be fun if they released more of this type of game. Dealing with side ships and certain cultural things. Like the Romulans.

[@robert25archer25]

Star Trek Borg.....god the amount of times i replayed that over and over, even today....

[@badmojo90]

strictly speaking the klingon game is a holodeck program so can be considered cannon. as for the final borg one it came out before voyager, those were Ds9 uniforms, of which Voyager also used.

[@vintagearisen]

Sometimes, in the dead of night, when I am alone and the darkness is closing in all around me, I close my eyes and see John Delancie's head floating in a sea of white as he says, "To have come so far and yet to lose? All this work and the outcome is the same..."

[@ab5olut3zero95]

I really liked the Star Trek Klingon and Borg interactive movies/games. My copy of Borg froze every time I got near the end and I never did finish it, but it was loads of fun. There’s a play-through of each on YT for anyone that wants to watch it.

[@gaiadove7616]

Star Trek: Borg is so good! I actually bought the game at the Klingon Encounter gift shop. I’m so sad that it’s no longer at Las Vegas Hilton... I loved Quark’s Warp Core Drink you could buy at the bar... while flirting with Klingons. Good times...

[@ZipplyZane]

Just want to add that it's not just "some arguing." TAS was officially made canon by CBS/Paramount. Because wanted it. Memory Alpha, which has always considered TAS to be canon, shows it's not all that disruptive. It's fairly easy to make it work. Unlike Memory Beta and trying to include all the books which often contradict each other.

[@radeadcool]

Watched both Klingon Academy and Star trek Borg the other day. They really hold up as Movies. Klingon Academy cut scene are over most movie run times.

[@robertdrexel2043]

Honestly. I prefer the Borg Experience over that of the Klingon Encounter. For one simple reason. You got to be part of the action, sort-of. I still remember the first time I went through it and I was standing right next to one of the actors who got grabbed by a Borg Drone. Not to mention seeing Borg almost face-to-face sent shivers down my spine. Though I do admit I got a similar shiver during the Klingon Encounter Ride when you are caught in the Tractor Beam of the Bird of Prey and the Enterprise swoops in to save the day. Riker's "Not Today" Line was classic. It was a thrilling experience and I would love to seen Star Trek Experience maybe moving to another location and expanding with another couple rides. It would have been awesome. Sigh. Those were the days...

[@Daimo83]

There's an excellent fan made "wolf 359 extended" on here cut with Star Trek Borg scenes. Well worth a look.

[@marscaleb]

I remember people talking about the TNG VHS board game back in the day. Honestly I've never understood why no one ever re-released it on a DVD. Or hell, just made a new game with the same concept, which could be even better. With a DVD you could input some selections into the video, possibly randomize certain events, or at the very least just allow the game to conclude with a selected win/loss scenario.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Those oldschool VHS games lol, i had a haunted house one, picked it up even back then at a garage sale for like $2 lol.

[@weirdkitty07]

Star Trek the Experience, Las Vegas Hilton, 1998 to 2008, was also a simulator built a lot like the Star Wars one at Disneyland. The Klingon Encounter featured the cast being meamed up from a faux elevator to the mock up of the Enterprise D transporter, and you are led down a corridor to the turbolift, which is on motion skids, and does some jarring, and then arrive on the bridge to play the video. You are then escorted back to the turbolift to the shuttle bay deck, where your shuttle then goes on the mission with full aircraft simulation motion. They used two bridges and sims at a given time. The Borg Encounter was added around 2003 and featured a starbase corridor, a redress of the one from the first sim, where you are led to a wrecked starbase under attack, and then to a large personnel shuttle, ala the theater in Disney's California, but they closed that. The Borg part would have motion steats and the spray you mentioned. The movie would be timed with the rumbling seats with little bumps in the back to make it feel like something crawling on you. The 4d gimmick was kind of silly. Also the promenade and the row of gift shops were designed to look like Deep Space Nine, although not to scale, and the Quark's Bar was to scale, which was awesome. The Enterprise D bridges were spot on and looked real like on the show. They got everything right on down to funny LCARS. I suppose the NDA from 2004 is probably invalid since it's closed down now. If only we could have rescued some of the sets, which were scrapped. That was a bummer. It went under in 2008. Got too expensive. I had been to it several times, but always amanged to miss Trek Las Vegas. It was usually just after the con. Maybe someday. It was more of a ride.

[@PhazonEnder]

The Star Trek experience was amazing. I was fortunate enough to visit it during it's second year of operation, and once again during it's final year.

[@jayyu8229]

The Star Trek Experience closes before I even knew what Star Trek was. If only I was born a few years earlier. :(

[@lizzychrome7630]

I'm fascinated by these not-quite-canon stories that expand on the "Star Trek" universe. And I'm a huge fan of Anastasia Targus, so I really would like to think of "Star Trek: Borg" as canon.

[@floydlooney6837]

Wasn't there a CD that let you just look at the ship and go through the corridors and see in every room? I remember wanting one and never getting one.

[@pepperVenge]

I played both Star Trek Borg, and Klingon (the one where you play Pok (sp?)) here on KZbin. Someone set up all the video's in a series of KZbin video's and matched links to corresponding video's appropriate to the choices you can make in the game. It played out like the real game, and was a lot of fun.

[@Thermool]

I have to re watch First Contact again, but those two friends of the protagonist from Star Trek: Borg we’re in First Contact. They’re engineers going into a Jeffry’s Tube and get assimilated. It’s the our first knowing as the audience that the Borg are on the Enterprise E.

[@robert25archer25]

I'm surprised you didnt mention Star Trek TNG A Final unity for pc-dos! That game was ahead of its time for 1994 and such a beast to run less you had a 486dx2 or x4 based pc lol which was pretty much near top of the line till the pentuim 1's came into lower price brackets.

[@scottgardener]

I think the last one, Star Trek: Borg may be actual canon. In an episode of Voyager, Q tells Janeway, "If it wasn't for me, you would have all been assimilated by the Borg." (Janeway counters with, "You introduced us to the Borg, thank you very much," referencing the events of TNG episode "Q, Who.") I believe Q's line may be referring to events in the game, assuming a successful play-through to the end.

[@GeeVanderplas]

I LOVED Star Trek: Borg! Great story, and a hilarious performance by John DeLancie. It also did the Borg justice, making you feel their menacing presence at every turn. Something that got a little lost in Voyager where they slowly became a parody of themselves...

[@TheStarTrekApologist]

Star Trek Adventure there were two different version the California version which used footage from the original movies, cut with shots of Universal Studio guests and the better Florida version that featured original footage of the entire original crew.

[@gaxiola1701]

I did the Star Trek Adventure in Universal Hollywood as a kid and really enjoyed it. Depending on your role, you were on the Enterprise bridge, the Klingon BoP bridge or down on a planet and got lines to say or actions to perform. I got to sit at the helm (or maybe navigation?) and "fire phasers". It was great! From the Memory Alpha page and videos you can find on KZbin, the Orlando version was pretty much all blue screen effects even if it had some original footage.

[@jamesb.8940]

TAS fills up some of the gap between the “5-year mission”, and its having only 3 TV seasons. It includes non-TOS characters, but that is not a fatal objection.

[@Hiraghm]

"Here's your phaser; each of ours has been tuned to a different frequency" Uh... no thanks. I'll take a 12-gauge shotgun with plenty of shells, thank you. I saw First Contact...

[@Metal_Enjoyer]

Hiraghm better replicate one

[@alexturlais8558]

It wouldn't work particularly well. They'd probably adapt to it quickly.

[@ZipplyZane]

But this is Wolf 359. First Contact hasn't happened yet. Well, the part in the future hasn't happened yet.

[@tessajalloh3914]

That's the thing though, the borg can't adapt to physical damage. Their shielding is only capable to protecting them against directed energy attacks. A shotgun would be perfect against them, at least until they changed tactics to overwhelm with numbers.

[@TheSweetser69]

Shot gun totally would work! I bet if you loaded up the Klingon Empire with a bunch of shot guns and ammo. They totally beat the Borg.

[@observantwatcher6511]

Borg was a terrible find-the-pixel mess in terms of gameplay but the story and of course John DeLancie's performance were definitely worth the effort. His little tutorials if you weren't finding the right pixel were priceless--and if you didn't even try to do his follow-along he'd end the game right there. Also, the ship that the game starts on was Galaxy class but it was not the Enterprise-D. It was the Cheyenne. Doesn't explain the uniforms of course.

[@ZipplyZane]

I never found STB to require pixel hunting. It's just an interactive movie. The game makes it really obvious when you can make a choice, and what you can click on is big and usually obvious. The difficulty comes in needing to read (well, listen to Q read) from the tricorder to learn the information you need to figure out all of the puzzles. Oh, and to pay attention to what you learn even when you go down the wrong path.

[@observantwatcher6511]

It may have had something to do with the system I was running on, back when I was a total computer neophyte (and a kid no less). It took some precision clicking back in the day before optical mice were a thing. I figured out the puzzles quickly enough but at least with what I was working with hitting the sweet spot was tricky. Your mileage may have varied, I don't know. It was still fun to go Borg hunting with Q.

[@hurrhurrmurr]

That and the timing. Didn't click it quick enough? Too bad, rewatch 5 minutes. But I was 8 when I played it

[@ZipplyZane]

Now that I agree with, hurhurrmurr. I remember thinking the time limit on the choices was too short. And while I don't think it required pixel hunting, I did think that spinning cursor was stupid. I could see how it might mess you up if you didn't realize that the top left is always where it clicks. It would have been better with a small Star Trek arrow and then the Borg cube spinning under it.

[@synthetic240]

I got ST: Borg as a birthday present. Beat it that evening. I loved how Q kicked you out of the game if you didn't play along. I also appreciated that there was one choice where the only correct response was not to make one.

[@psauter417]

I still have the VCR game. It was fun back in the day.

[@SchardtCinematic]

Although fan made. Star Trek Continues truly fills in the gap between TOS and The Motion Picture.

[@drunkenuncle2837]

Holy shit, I remember playing the VHS game! Captain Kavok was my BOIII!

[@DJShire_ATL]

I remember that game too. I still have it lol. I played the hell out of that game.

[@EnhanceRaptor]

Experience bij!

[@stevejordan7275]

"I will call you 'Gagh.' My favorite food." "What is your name?" [You answer] "That is a _child's_ name!" So you answer "Kavok"! Oh, yes. Good times.

[@CyborgCollective]

I love the bit of at the end where he has to sit in the captain's chair and yell like he is laying an egg.

[@Dargonhuman]

Dude, I still have mine. I even found the entire video uploaded to KZbin that I turned into a DVD so I can still play it despite no one I know owns a working VCR anymore.

[@rwdplz1]

I had never heard of the game before, just watched a group play through in another video, that was great!

[@EeveeFromAlmia]

It’s interesting how much of these have to deal with Klingons

[@WelshmanSudios]

The number one game on the list features the actress that was in the beginning of the film first contact, where she gets assimilated by the borg the the Jefferies tube just before captain Picard hears the borg voices and returns to the ship.

[@ABDR4]

That reminds me...must get an old Mac so I can replay Starfleet Academy. I also probably should actually open & install Elite Force. Yup, it's still in the box.

[@emsleywyatt3400]

My favorite commercial was Gowron giving his fellow Klingons the Hallmark "Bird of Prey" ornament.

[@ZipplyZane]

Do note that (and this is not a spoiler at all) Star Trek Klingon takes place entirely inside a Holodeck program. So none of it "really happened." Everyone in there is a hologram. You are, in fact, a human, who is learning about Klingon culture by running a Holodeck program.

[@LightOfZeon]

I didn't know Star Trek: Borg was a game. There was a cassette audio version of it that we used to listen to in the car. I guess the gameplay was so limited I never even thought it came from a game.

[@SensiofRabbitude]

Ah Starfleet Academy. Was enjoying that game so much. Then I hit a mission that I just couldn't beat, after several attempts and just kind of gave up. I always end up so behind on games moving from one console generation to the next, or one computer upgrade to the next and sadly if I get too stuck, I almost have to move on to the next game.

[@christophercastiel5483]

What about the 2014 Star Trek Experience that toured the US. Paramount shot footage aboard the USS Titan with Tim Russ as Commander Tuvok and 1st officer, Will Wheaton as Lt. Commander and chief engineer of the Titan and Jonathan Frakes did voice over on the comm as Captain Riker. I recorded the footage on my cell phone.

[@MrBracey100]

You missed the Spock vs Q stage performance, what a great story.

[@MrGreenthumb1000]

That last one with Q looks really entertaining.

[@ZipplyZane]

It is. It may be my favorite Star Trek experience outside the shows. Let's just say you get to do something to Q that not even Sisko got to do.

[@marscaleb]

HOLY CRAP! A non-canon video game gets the Klingon blood the right color, but literally every official canon TV show can't?!

[@CinemaScopefilms]

The fun part about any of the games was playing them wrong. Like in "Borg" you got really crazy looks from the other crew members if you made the wrong choice. In Starfleet Academy you could put the star base in a tractor beam and go to warp, and just lose it somewhere a long the way. In Klingon Academy, your first officer would assassinate you if you screwed up. In Bridge commander you could fire on friendly ships and get relieved of command. My favorite though, that you left out was Voyager, Elite Force. I would spend hours shooting Nelix, or Chakotay in the hallway and being chased around by security. It was more fun than playing the actual game. You can find Voyager's self destruct if you look hard enough.

[@ZipplyZane]

With Borg, you had to play it wrong to actually finish it. There was stuff you wouldn't learn unless you messed up.

[@zwippie92]

Wow, there are a lot of Star Trek live action games out there, who would have thought?

[@FoxMonkey-xw5yf]

De Lancie is amazing as usual in ST:Borg. You can see all the scenarios on youtube.

[@youwayo]

I remember both the Las Vegas rides. Great times

[@Tryntius]

I still own the TNG: Klingon Challenge board game, Dave. Had it since I was an early teen. It's always been some great fun to play. And it's pronounced Kay-vok not Kah-vok. Trust me, he drills it into your brain as you are forced to shout "Yes, Captain Kavok" whenever he addresses you.

[@dylanlewis3038]

I bought the Starfleet Academy game off of Amazon. The seller failed to mention that the last disc was missing. I didn't know until I needed it. I'm still pissed.

[@Linerunner99]

thepiratebay.org/torrent/11907896/Star_Trek_Starfleet_Academy_(GOG) You're welcome.

[@MadnerKami]

Waitwaitwait. Klingon Academy is not part of canon? But it ties directly into the events of Star Trek 5, being a partial prequel even!

[@bbbabrock]

If Star Fleet Academy came out before "Five", then how is it Shatner's last serious take on Kirk. Besides "Five", there is both "Undiscovered country, Six" and "Generations Seven"?

[@Fil42Skidoo]

What about the awesome looking but never released "Secret of Vulcan Fury." Those sound files exist somewhere, I would assume. Would be neat to see someone make a game of them or at least some animated thingy.

[@tdog999100]

I had the klingon vhs board game when i was a kid and oh dear god the klingon made me genuinely scared the first time i played it hahaha

[@Will-db5el]

Aaah Star Trek academy and Klingon academy, great games. Still have my discs in the original fold out wallets.

[@RagnarokiaNG]

I did have the Borg game and agree that the game itself was lame, basically a series of multiple choice options with most leading to death, but Q made every moment blissful. It's no surprise that adding Q to the game made it the best of these. He makes anything better.

[@WILSONsHobbies]

star trek borg, i remember i had a hard time running this back in the day haha

[@gustavefrankfurter6462]

You missed Phaser Strike for the 1980 Microvision handheld game!

[@jonathancoolidge4594]

The last one, the game Star Trek: Borg: I think Q's line in an episode of Voyager, "If it weren't for me, you would have all been assimilated by the Borg" was referring to the events of that game, implying that it could be canon--assuming a play through to successful conclusion.

[@Dogmelter42]

Huh... Dave, I don't think I've ever heard you geek out in any of your videos. It's refreshing.

[@gabesnooks3549]

I had the VHS board game! It was fun!

[@tkayube]

The board game is actually the only one of these I'm really familiar with.

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

I remember the VHS Board game. The brother of a friend of mine, back in elementary school, had it. However it was all in english as there was no dubbed version of it. WHich i found lame but the game was supposedly for older players anyway and not for kids.

[@Chaosmage42]

i actually still have the vcr board game it was fun to play, also have borg both are good and both could be considered cannon because of the events in them

[@mlasrb]

Still much better of anything that Kurtzman has produced since this video was released.

[@brettcooper3893]

Isn't the redhead in Borg the same girl who gets assimilated at the beginning of First Contact?

[@TheFinancialAdvocacyPodcast]

You missed reviewing "A Final Unity" Star Trek TNG PC game with all the cast in it.

3:00 had that lying around for years im aware of it. NO that is not gowron.

When I went to The Star Trek Experience in 2006, I SUPER geeked out when we were transported onto the Enterprise D. I still haven't figured out how they did that.

[@PunksterOS]

Have you ever watched Star Trek Continues on KZbin, here? It is pretty good.

[@Linerunner99]

It *was* fantastic. It's a finished series, however.

[@PunksterOS]

Linerunner99 Yes, I know. Damn shame, it did very well in capturing the feel of TOS.

Vic was going to be playing the admiral version of Kirk soon enough (he's 55, but holding up remarkably). I've watched other fan series but none of the others I've seen come close to STC.

[@NephritduGrey]

The show also shows that the TOS sets can still hold up in this day and age if you have good stories and engaging characters.

[@scottmantooth8785]

prelude to Axanar is also well worth checking out if you've not already done so

[@EmmanuelGoldsteinINGSOC]

You forgot the Webster - TNG crossover (it's completely awful and most painful to watch, but it was official and is also the only official crossover into another show so it should have made the list)

I had the Board Game. Also, I've seen the rest on here. It bugs me that we never see Janeway physically in Borg Invasion 4D, even though they get her in uniform and she appears physically in the trailer. Also, that's the USS Cheyenne in Star Trek Borg. The woman on the ship should be in an FC/Late-DS9 uniform as it's mentioned that they've defeated them twice. SIDE NOTE: In Star Trek Borg, the opening which features a distress call, states that there are TWO Borg Vessels en-route to Sector 001. But the Righteous only detects one. Starfleet is good, but I doubt they could destroy one Borg ship so easily. The opening's hail also seems to identify the ship as the Cheyenne.

Uh, you said Starfleet Academy included Chekov, but not Sulu... while showing footage of Sulu.
