@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Elite Force was SolO good
@buerviper@physchem.science
This is actually the first time I've heard of it.
Half-Life was still the go-to game at my friends place and he barely looked into anything besides that, Quake and Unreal at the time, so sadly, I had no idea what else was out in the PC space...
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I played the first tutorial level like a hundred times at a friend's place, nothing better than drawing the rage of dozens of borg
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games I bought this one. I'm not a die hard Trekkie but I like the show and this is a really good game.
I think there's a fan community that has kept it going all these years.

I wish I could play this somehow as I know of little to no Star Trek games that were actually good.
Massive fan of the series, but never dared to dip my toes. Into the games.
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games @UKFilmNerd@mastodon.me.uk Both Elite Force games are on GOG.com. The 2nd one follows up on the series finale of Star Trek: Voyager and expands the scope a bit, so they dropped Voyager from the title.
@JTO_is_Typing@mstdn.games @UKFilmNerd@mastodon.me.uk the problem is, I don’t have a PC to play it on.
@OutofPrintArchive Well, the first one did have a PlayStation 2 port, but I don't know how easily you can track that down. I see that there was a PAL release.

@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games This game is associated permanently in my mind with 11th September 2001, since I missed what’d happened because I was marathoning it.
@retrohistories@digipres.club
Oh wow.
Yeah, that is something that will stick with you...
I still remember being at work when I heard it on the phone.
They were talking about it like it was some tiny sports plane, not sure what to call it on English.
Then I got home, put on the TV and saw the damage and minutes later saw the second one hit...
@OutofPrintArchive I only played the demo, but it was pretty fun, especially multiplayer. The sequel has a hidden platformer level.
