Star Trek: Armada and Armada II are real-time strategy games published by Activision and based around Star Trek: The Next Generation era. Each mission reveals more of the plot to the game and there are cameo appearances in the game by both Lt. The game is set during the period following the Dominion War and missions involve the player guiding their team through various enemy installations, such as Borg Cubes the Klingon Homeworld and even Starfleet Academy itself, solving puzzles along the way. The player can choose their squad for each mission from a selection of 17 crewmen, each with their own specialities and abilities. In Star Trek: Away Team the player assumes command of a top secret Star Fleet ‘special forces’ unit and guided them through a series of missions. Released in 2001, Star Trek: Away Team is a squad-based strategy game from Reflexive Entertainment and published by Activision. Unfortunately, in a seemingly similar scenario to the Star Trek movies, many Star Trek games have failed to live up to their promise and fans' expectations but here are five Star Trek PC games that Trekkies should play.


The Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) Star Trek Online is the most recent addition to the Star Trek PC games collection having been released in February 2010, but solo gamers have enjoyed a succession of Star Trek-based PC games over the years. Star Trek has spawned an ever-growing collection of memorabilia across a broad selection of popular media – TV, cinema, books, roleplaying games, art and more so it was inevitable that Star Trek would eventually find its way into the computer games platform. Ever since the Star Trek phenomenon first appeared on TV screens in 1966, it has given rise to one of the most famous franchises in the history of entertainment.
