Star Trek: Bridge Commander
Windows version
Great game, good to play even after all those years
The Good
Being able to control the ship by myself (which I actually prefer) or by computer, limiting the player's role to giving orders
The Star Trek feel
One can modify the game easily, there are plenty of mods and total conversions on-line
Being able to choose exactly where to hit the enemy - you can choose which subsystems of enemy vessel to shoot, or let the computer do it for you
Creating great space battles consisting of many ships on both sides
The Bad
Too linear plot in the campaign mode
When trying to pass another ship very close usually both ships explode although you can see there's plenty of space between them
Not being able to command a fleet or at least set up some tactics with allied ships
The Bottom Line
It's like Sea Dogs in the Star Trek Universe - nothing special, but still you can play it for months without being bored with it! If you ever wanted to feel like a starship captain - certainly it's a must have.
