I must sadly recuse myself from the giveaway (curse my sense of ethics!), but I can confirm that OP is indeed the Community Manager for Star Trek Resurgence at Dramatic Labs.
Good luck to everyone!

Just wanted to say it's really neat to have a giveaway for a Star Trek game here. :)
- I know right? Really glad to see them embracing the Fediverse.

@Yannik
Is this game still exclusive to Epic?
- Hi! Yes, currently. We are heading to Steam in 2024. You can already wishlist the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2653940/Star_Trek_Resurgence/
  
  @Yannik @blaine Will it support Steam Deck?
  
  Good to hear! I've been watching your game for a while and just waiting until it arrived on Steam. Just wishlisted!

I enjoyed Star Trek 25th Anniversary and the first Starfleet Command with the latter being my favorite.

Anyone else first play Star Trek (1971)?
- Oh, yes, one of my first DOS games, played it lots, but I don’t think I ever cleared the board. Always ended up running into three or four Klingon ships and getting blown up.
  
  I don't think I ever got very far, I can't believe it basically predates the personal computer?

EXPERIENCE BIJ!
But in all seriousness I enjoyed a bunch of Voyager: Elite force and have been getting into Birth of the Federation lately :)

My favorite Star Trek game is the sims. Make sure you have a few people with the name redshirt. Make sure those people have low stats in cooking and make them do all the cleaning. See how long they last. Then have other people as the officers. They just play all the time and enjoy themselves.

Honestly, I have never played a Star Trek game, I've only watched the shows and some of the movies.

All the old point & clickers were good fun. The one I played the most was TNG A Final Unity. Nostalgia hitting pretty hard right now.

I was a big fan of the Elite Force games, but the one I enjoyed most was a DVD game from the mid to late 90s that doesn’t seem to exist. It was similar to the activision Zork games of the era, but Gowron was making Gowron eyes at the screen a lot; I’m considering that I’ve merged two games I played together, and made a false memory, but honestly I don’t know what games those would’ve been either.
- Although not text based, there was a FMV game called Star Trek: Klingon (YouTube link to a longplay) where Gowron does a bunch of Gowron things.
  
  See I’m sure that’s some of what I’m remembering, but at least when I played Klingon about 2007 it didn’t seem to be the same game.
  (Btw, the Acti Zork games are acted DVD graphical adventures, unlike their text based precursors. Worth a go if you can. )

I really enjoyed Starfleet Academy on SNES. But my favorite games were the Star Trek: Starfleet Command games on PC, especially Starfleet Command Orion Pirates.

Does modded stellaris count?

I played Star Trek Pinball lol
- The IRL. pinball machine? Oh man that was my favourite!

Starfleet Command 2 Klingon Academy Armada 1 & 2 Hidden Evil Elite Force 1 & 2 Final Unity Bridge Commander
I played them all to death! Such a good time.

I've actually never played any Star Trek games before - I think the closest I've gotten is Stellaris, which definitely made me think of star trek. I don't know if that disqualifies me, but I might pick this game up anyways, sounds like a good time right now.

I pleaded and got Star Trek: A Final Unity for my birthday one year. Even on my ancient Mac it was amazing. Like playing an episode of TNG.

There was that old Voyager fps, Elite Force, that kicked ass.
I put a stupid amount of hours into Starfleet Command. Probably my all time favorite. I'm the kind of person who geeks out on power and shield management.
I played a lot of Sins of a Solar Empire and I mention that because there was a cool Star Trek mod for that game I played for a bit.
Lastly, I played STO for a couple years. Loved the story and space combat but man the ground missions a slog. Still I enjoyed that game a bunch.
I feel like I'm missing something but I can't think of any more.
- The Star Trek mod for Sins got more play on my PC than Sins itself did. It is fantastic!

Man what games didn't I play as a kid.
ST Armada 1 and 2 (FleetOps)
Birth of the Federation
ST Borg
Elite force 1 and 2
The DS9 FPS which I forget the name
Bridge commander
ST Dominion War
Starfleet command 3
There's probably some I'm forgetting. I'd have to say Armada 2, man I played so many hours of that game. Played around with mods as a kid too.

By far my favourite ST game is 25th Anniversary from Interplay released in 1992. I grew up in the 70s so TOS was very near and dear to me. In 92 I was reviewing games right at the peak of CD ROM and MS DOS gaming and 25th Anniversary really typified the best of both by including beautiful VGA graphics and a fantastic soundtrack complete with actual sounds from the series and the entire cast in their signature roles. Playing it was like being in the show, nothing else has quite replicated that feeling because it was like the cast was putting on a performance just for me.

Growing up, I played mostly Armada 1/2 with a lot of Elite Force 1 and Bridge Commander (oh the mods!) thrown in.
I spent every afternoon after school and every weekend evening playing Armada. I still think it is my favorite RTS game, even beating Warcraft 3.

Oh man! I used to play the Star Trek: The Next Generation Echoes From the Past game on Sega Genesis. I was really young but loved flying the Enterprise around and pissing off the Romulans.
I played around with the Star Trek: Encyclopedia on PC which was fun and then much later on I play Star Trek Online now and again. It scratches that Star Trek itch to fly ships around and customize them. Great game but I'll never forget the times with that Sega game.

I clearly remember screaming a lot of "Ferengan Ha'DIbaH!" in the microphone for Star Trek: Klingon.

First of all, thanks for the giveaway!
My first Star Trek game was actually Star Trek Online, but I'll probably always have a soft spot for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Crossroads of Time for the SNES.
I'm definitely happy to see Resurgence coming to Steam though, I don't buy from anyone except for them and GOG.

I honestly haven't played any Star Trek games. None really piqued my interest. This game, however, is one I'd like to check out. First time for everything!

The first Star Trek game I played was a shareware version of EGA Trek for DOS, which was also one of the first computer games I ever played.
I remember it would tell you a starbase was under attack and you would have to go there to defend it. One of my torpedoes missed and hit a star which made it go supernova, destroying the enemy ship. Fun times.
- @n01getsout @Yannik wow I remember that game but my all time favorite would be Star Trek Birth Of The Federation

Star Trek Armada, hands down the best Star Trek game I've played. I do like the feeling of captaining my own ship in Online, nothing beats the feeling of winning a war via RTS.
And now that I'm older, and have seen more Treks, read more books, and have a much greater knowledge of all things Star Trek, I've been wanting to replay but I can't seem to locate my disc... I'll have to check my digital providers to see if I can find it most likely.
I'd love to see a modern take on a 4X Star Trek. Flavor mods for Stellaris and Sins of a Solar Empire don't cut it anymore.

I miss playing Star Trek Armada.

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force!! I both loved and hated that game

I was an adult when I got/played it, but Star Trek: Bridge Crew was a blast to play on my Vive.

I got my Trekkie mom the Star Trek 25th Anniversary game for christmas, but I defitnely ended up playing it more myself!

I grew up with Star Trek Elite Force 1 and 2, Starfleet Command: Orion Pirates, Armada 1 and 2, and Bridge Commander. All excellent games that I played many, many hours of.

I always loved the 92' version of Star trek the board game! Lots of good times, plus I just another box unopened from a garage sale! Want to break into it but I probably won't do this would be cool on PC!

A little past growing up but I played a lot of the Snes and Nes games. They had issues but once you figured out the gameplay loop they could be very fun!

As a Iong time ST fan I just way to say, this game was a great time. It was like I was playing through a ST episode, dilemma and all. Sending a ship to warp cinematically was something I never knew I wanted to do, but it was perfect.

Never played any star trek games as a kid. Honestly the only one I played is bridge crew and it's awesome. Every once in a while I drum up some friends and we play it. It's a blast!

Favourites Star Trek: Birth of the Federation (Master of Orion, but it's Star Trek) and Klingon Honour Guard.
I used to play a lot of Star Trek Online, but honestly that really felt like a job once you reached the end game, a joyless experience that made me feel like I was wasting my life.

First game was Star Trek 25th anniversary. First game ever to make me feel like a real part of a new adventure!

Not strictly canon, but I have fond memories of Apple Trek on the Apple II. Growing up I played Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Klingon Honor Guard. More recently I got the PS3 game based on the Kelvin timeline movies. But my favourite to date has been Star Trek Bridge Crew, I've really enjoyed the immersion of it.

I grew up playing the 25th anniversary game on pc. The point and click adventure one. Loved all the ways you could kill redshirts
My all time fave one is the VR one. Have had hours of fun playing it coop w my buddies

Star Trek Academy comes to mind... Best part was winning the Kobayashi Maru mission 😁
I think I bought it as a bundle with a bunch of other games... Generations and DS9 Harbinger.

I spent the early 2000s playing Star Trek: Armada and Voyager: Elite Force. Pretty sure you can get them on GoG if you’re looking for nostalgia and a good night of gaming.

Oh man, I would have to say Birth of the Federation, but I also love me some 25th Anniversary and A Final Unity. There was a stretch of some decent Star Trek games in the 90s!

Star Trek 25th for me, still love it

I haven't actually played a real Star Trek game, but I did play Artemis Space Bridge Simulator, and that seemed really close. Super fun game if you have enough people to play it!

Funny I never had much Star Trek gaming experience but have recently gotten into gaming more and been a lifelong Trek fan (maybe not an official Trekkie tho). this game looks pretty interesting and I'm now just learning about it since I also don't pay attention to the epic store!

I liked the Elite Force games when I was a teen, but I grew up with and still love WinTrek! https://archive.org/details/win3_WinTrek

I had 25th Anniversary, Judgement Rites, TNG: A Final Unity, DS9: Harbinger, and Birth of the Federation as a kid, but never got much into any of them, TBH. I also played the Star Trek Customizable Card Game a little bit.
As an adult, however, I've been playing Star Trek Online for a decade now, so by any reasonable measure that's my favorite Star Trek game by far (even if I'm not a fan of some of the perverse incentives it has, being an MMO).

There wasn't a lot of Trek games in my childhood. I mean, they existed I just didn't have any. I remember playing something on DOS my dad had in his floppy collection but I don't know what the actual title is. Could probably identify it by a screenshot because it was like a screen with space/an enemy ship and then a bunch of menus to do everything like an old school CRPG.
Even now I kinda wish there was a Star Trek immersive sim/open world RPG besides the MMO, STO. Like Mass Effect or Starfield but Star Trek, and not boring.

The Star Trek games I played growing up were 25th Anniversary (the ship battles were too complicated for 11yo me), later on I used my own pocket money and bought Final Unity. The Chodak are still a very cool alien race added to the universe. Loved those frog faces in space suits. :-)
Played and finished Elite Force and Armada. Earl Boehn (RIP) as a main villain was a moment of teenage glee being such a massive T2 and TNG nerd.
Interested in Resurgence, my husband recently played it on his PS5 but I don’t go near that machine. 😂

Even Enterprise was over by the time I was old enough to understand Star Trek, which meant I wasn't really exposed to any Star Trek games until I was older, but I did play Star Trek Online! So Star Trek Online is my favorite! Lol

I have only played Star Trek: Bridge Crew before, and I loved it and want to play more Star Trek games! Over the genre is great and the potential is endless.

Star Trek: 25th Anniversary

Growing up I wasn't really into Star Trek games sadly. I grew up with Voyager in it's initial run, but I didn't really play any games until Star Trek Online. However, that game I've played since it was a closed beta, and lifetime subscription.
