Yep. I loved the original and later series. I had a Star Trek Compendium book as a little kid that had synopsis and behind the scenes info for every episode of the original series. I read that many times, even buying the science-fiction short stories that some of the episodes where based on, like the story "Enemy Mine" by Barry B. Longyear which was made into the episode "Arena" where Kirk stranded on a planet has to fight an alien to survive. One of my favorite stories and episodes. "Enemy Mine" was also made into a Hollywood movie years later, and also remade again in Star Trek New Generation with Geordi having to fight, in this case, a Romulan.
The new Star Trek movie was really good. I'm a fan of J.J. Abrams so it was no surprise the movie was pretty awesome.
I've been hearing some hype about the new Star Trek online game. Any trekkies going to check it out?
Which reminds me, I loved the various Star Trek games, including the old point-and-click adventure games from the 90's. I seem to recall an older Star Trek game where you controlled the Enterprise and had to visit galaxies, fighting Romulans and stuff. You had to scan things, like ships or planets. I forget if it was for the Apple IIe, or if it was later.
The FPS Star Trek games based on the Quake-engine where cool. "Elite" something? I made some levels for it.
It's funny, Tony and Adam, you guys have similar tastes and background to each other as well as myself .
Retro-gaming, music, Macs and now Star Trek.
