      I see “TOS point and click” and can only think of “Terms of Service point and click”… what does this actually stand for?

      The other side? TOp Side? It’s definitely not “Thoracic outlet syndrome”…

        It’s shorthand for The Original Series, which a lot of trekkies use when talking about the first show with Kirk and Spock.

        Kudos for inventiveness, though! Thoracic outlet syndrome got me 😂

    I liked ST Online. End game kinda sucks for me, but the episodic missions I found to be fun and enjoyable n line (mostly) with Trekness.

    And it’s free. Download, do a Federation character, then switch it up with a Klingon/Romulon character.

    It’s by no means a perfect game, but it’ll scratch an itch if you have it.

    Star Trek: Resurgence is relatively new. The graphics are pretty janky at times and it performs somewhat strangely, but it does feel like a 10-hour episode of post-TNG Trek, so I enjoyed it.

      I couldn’t play it because of the horrible save system, where it just randomly saves sometimes and you have no control over it.

        It seems to be scene based. So if you have already watched 5 mins of content within the same scene, I’d expect to see it again if you quit before the scene change. It is annoying but I just stop playing at scene changes.

    Was lucky enough to have a sit-down cabinet version of Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator (Sega, 1983) at a local arcade. Very comfortable with the controls built into the chair. Along with having set all the games to free play, the operator had the volume cranked on this one so Nimoy’s voice would resonate inside!
