Not only is this a really cool Star Trek game, but it's the last time Avery Brooks did anything for Star Trek as Captain Sisko. They brought every captain together for this game and it's really special.
Anything that lets us hear more Avery Brooks is a good call in my book. On top of that, it's incredibly rare to actually take the Captain's role in a Star Trek game of any quality.
This game is a childhood classic, it's got all the captains, fun story and gameplay, and great mods. I still have the CD. The space combat may be simpler than bridge commander, but the graphics are much better.
Another classic from the era when they made decent Star Trek games. Flying your own Connie around, enjoying stories from across the eras, what more could you ask for.
This is the closest I've ever come to my perfect Star Trek game. I played this on Xbox 360, and it is one of the very few games from that era not made backward compatible to the Xbox One (and forward). I wanted to replay this game so badly, but it doesn't run on any modern console or PC. The voice acting is fantastic (original cast), the graphics were great for the era, and the ships just feel so cool to fly around. Engage!
There is no other game quite like it that I can think of. A blend of action and strategy, wrapped in a story spanning the entire Classic Trek timeline. Hardcore simulation, strategy, space combat, and action fans could get annoyed by how simplified all those parts are, but the fact that the game could meld all of those genres together and be fun and compelling is a testament to the developers. They obviously loved Star Trek, and it shows. Especially in a modern world where Star Trek doesn't feel like Star Trek anymore, Star Trek: Legacy is a warm blanket of nostalgia that just happens to be a fun game. If there is any con that I can think of, it is that William Shatner really phones in his performance. Every time I hear his voice in the game, I just imagine him in a soundbooth with his head resting on one hand and sleepily talking into a microphone. It probably isn't that bad, but it is the only negative that sticks out to me.
The first Star Trek game I had for PC, I played the campaign through like three times. i would love to be able to have this game going forward, and be able to tell people where to go to get this great game
This was the first game I got hyped for as a kid. Followed the announcement, joined the forums, started a Star Trek podcast with some friends, interviewed some developers and writers, and ultimately joined a mod team after it released. This game holds such a unique part of my childhood, and it would be a joy to see it shared with another generation.

Pokémon HeartGoldPokémon HeartGold Version and Pokémon SoulSilver Version are paired Generation IV remakes of the Generation II games Pokémon Gold and Silver.
Much like how Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen revisited the Generation I story of Kanto, HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of Johto, with the player's starting town being New Bark Town. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original Gold and Silver. Some aspects exclusive to Crystal are also included. Like how FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto (such as the Sinnoh starters) and vice versa.
Kris, despite being the female counterpart of Crystal's player character, is not included as the female player character, with a new character instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the player character or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-rival role similar to the unselected characters of Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes the Netherlands, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).Action Fantasy

The Dark EyeThe Dark Eye is a computer game of the horror genre, released in 1995 for the PC by the now-defunct software company Inscape. Upon its release the game attracted little attention from either critics or consumers, though it has received some attention since and, arguably, cult status.
The game featured combined 3-D graphics, stop motion animation and video segments. With its unconventional interface, storyline, and characters, the game's peculiarity became its selling point. The characters are largely lifelike in appearance except for their clay-modeled faces, which are often distorted or feature grotesquely exaggerated features. This near-realism, sometimes referred to as the uncanny valley, contributed to the game's ambience of unease and anxiety.
The character animation is stop-motion. Inscape did the art design of the puppets (lead artist Bruce Heavin) and had a Hollywood house actually make them. Inscape then hired two stop-motion animators and Russell Lees spent many, many hours in a hot, dark warehouse directing the animations. The working hours were from 7 am to 7 pm for about a month. They created computer-generated screenshots of the environments and shot against blue-screen, and they had a director of photography light them to match the environment.
Also notable was the use of author William S. Burroughs as a voice actor: Burroughs provided not only the voice for the character of Edwin, but also voiceovers of two slide-show sequences illustrating the short story "The Masque of the Red Death" and the poem "Annabel Lee". Another story, "The Premature Burial", can be found while reading the newspaper during "The Tell-Tale Heart", and the poem "To Helen" can be read while playing the victim in "Berenice".
Thomas Dolby composed the game's music.
-------------------
Structurally, the game was a point-and-click adventure fueled by the macabre stories of Edgar Allan Poe. The player could experience three of the stories ("The Cask of Amontillado", "The Tell-Tale Heart", and "Berenice") from the perspectives of both murderer and victim.
The game presented no choices to make, no life-or-death decisions, and no points; similar to other point-and-click adventures like Myst, the game simply waited for the player to find the next hotspot or location, at which point another video would play to advance the plot. During the portions that were direct interpretations of Poe's stories, the player was constrained to follow the actions of the stories' characters. The player could carry only one item at a time. Much of the animation in The Dark Eye consisted of QuickTime movies, either full-screen or smaller looping segments framed by a static background.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed KingDragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the eighth installment in the Dragon Quest series, developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was also later released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015.
It is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view.
Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.Action Fantasy
