Angriff der Controller, Teil 4: Die Borg hacken unsere Konsolen - Star Trek Spiele Spezial (mit Gästen!)Willkommen zurück, liebe Videogamecast-Community, zu unserer spielgalaktischen Reise durch das Universum der Star Trek Spiele im vierten Teil unserer beliebten Podcastserie. Diese Episode verspricht kosmischen Spaß und treibt eure Nerd-Herzen in Warpgeschwindigkeit in den Mittelpunkt der galaktischen Gaming-Welt. Mit Stolz präsentieren wir unsere hochkarätigen Gäste: Simon und Sebastian vom renommierten Podcast "Trek am Dienstag", flankiert von Flottenadmiral Andreas von Triberg. Gemeinsam erkunden wir die pixelige Vergangenheit und die verheißungsvolle Zukunft von Star Trek Games. Das erwartet euch in dieser Episode:Wir starten direkt in die packende Action von Star Trek: Elite Force, einem Spiel, das Fans liebevoll umarmt. Sind die Borg wirklich so bedrohlich, oder wird uns der "Helmut Borg"-Moment zur humorvollen Erkenntnis führen? Diese Frage treibt Diskussionen an, wie Star Treks tiefgehende Erzählkunst zu fesselndem Gameplay wird. Ob als galaktisches Second Life auf der Voyager oder in den strategischen Manövern von Away Team – die Herausforderung, die Philosophie von Star Trek in fesselnde Spielerlebnisse zu verwandeln, ist immer präsent. Das Spiel Star Trek Resurgence begeistert speziell Andreas, der uns diesen Telltale-artigen Titel ans Herz legt. Mit packender Handlung und interaktiver Erzählweise führt es die Tradition der Star Trek Narration fort. Wir beleuchten die Geheimnisse der Transporter-Technologie – warum ist dieser Raum notwendig? –, den Janeway-Komplex mit dem unstillbaren Kaffee-Durst und Chakotays oft übersehene Rolle als der "Worf der Voyager". Natürlich dürfen spitze Kommentare über Star Wars nicht fehlen – "Können sie endlich einen vierten Film machen?". Es geht um mehr als nur Controller und Konsolenspiele; wir stellen Fragen über die Zukunft der Technologie in Star Trek und erkunden, wie Spiele das Sternen-Franchise repräsentieren können. Für wen ist diese Episode?Diese Podcast-Episode richtet sich an Trekkies und Gamer, die leidenschaftlich Star Trek Spiele erleben wollen, an diejenigen, die neugierig auf neue Titel sind, und an alle, die scharfzüngige Kommentare und nerdige Anekdoten lieben. Ob ihr euch für die philosophischen Abenteuer von Kirk oder die taktische Eleganz von Picard entscheidet, hier ist für jeden Genreliebhaber etwas dabei. Für alle mit einer Affinität zu Country und Western, die die feine Linie zwischen Realität und Star-Trek-Fiktion lieben! Viel Spaß beim Hören! Tobi & Gordon

Star Trek Video Games: An Unofficial Guide to the Final Frontier with author Mat Bradley-Tschirgi. There are a LOT of Star Trek video games and Mat had some hard decisions and set boundaries on what games to cover in his book (by the way, a “notable” game doesn't necessarily mean a good game). What is Mat's favorite and least favorite Star Trek game? Star Trek has one of the saddest stories of vaporware in PC gaming. Mat had an unusual entry into Star Trek fandom, but it still grabbed him. What are Shane and Mat's thoughts on some of the more recent Star Trek TV shows? What is one redeeming aspect of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier? Podcasting takes a lot of work and time.  Shane Plays Geek Talk Episode #280 - 10/23/2024 Like what you hear?

Wenn etwas geht, ist es nicht da. Und bleibt es weg, kommt es nicht wieder. Kommt es aber wieder, ist es wieder da und bleibt und geht nicht mehr weg. So in etwa könnt ihr euch die kurze Abwesenheit von den NerdLine-Jungs Frank und Lucas erklären. Aber alles gut... sie sind doch wieder da! Was ist in den letzten 2 ½ Wochen passiert? Um das herauszufinden, müsst ihr nur auf dieses Dreieck drücken, das auf der Seite liegt und zu zwei parallel verlaufenen Strichen wird, wenn ihr draufdrückt. Diese und weitere Erkenntnisse sind mit einer dicken Schleife verpackt und freuen sich darauf, von euch ausgepackt und mit Begeisterung aufgesogen zu werden. Mit jeder Folge steigern die Jungs ihren Anspruch an Qualität und Anarchie zugleich. Und vielleicht ist das auch der neue Anspruch der mittlerweile gewählten Bundesregierung? Beginnt eure neue Woche so angenehm wie möglich, mit Infos zum PS5-Showcase, Nintendo direct, investigative Amazon-Meisterwerks-Reportagen, heiße Kinoerwartungen und mit Warpgeschwindigkeit dargebotene StarTrek-Tipps und Infos. Eine Tastatur allein reicht nicht aus, um euch den kompletten Inhalt dieser Folge abzutippen. Also hört rein, lehnt euch zurück, aber gern auch mal vor, wenn der Rücken wund wird und sucht weiter in diesem Satz nach dem Punkt, der in immer weiter rückende Ferne zu geraten scheint... INHALT – Intro: Folge 6.2 – Die Rückkehr der Nerdi-Ritter – Frank und Lucas erklären euch, was mit Folge 6 passiert ist und den Thriller der letzten 2 Wochen; Neue NerdLine-Folgen gehen für euch jetzt immer Montags online – genau wie bei Akte X früher. | News: 35 Jahre Nintendo Enternainment System – Muss doch mal erwähnt werden; Ein verschollenes NES-Game kam zutage – Police Acedemy; Frank hat eine PS5 im Warenkorb bei Expert... WTF?! - Die Jungs halten euch auf dem Laufenden; Lucas empfiehlt das Buch Transport von Phillip P. Peterson; Frank schaut sich diese Woche Dune an und liebt ihn jetzt schon; Lucas und Frank zählen die kommenden Kino-Highlights auf und sind über die Auswahl ziemlich sehr happy; Frank freut sich auf die neue Netflix-Horror-Serie Midnight Mass von Mike Flanagan; Frank kritisiert Amazon und spielt mit dem Feuer – Eine neue KI-gesteuerte Kamera kommt zu Big Bezos Sammlung | Hauptteil: Lucas und Frank fassen für euch den PS5-Showcase zusammen - Die Highlights: Remake von Knights of the Old Republic; God of War: Ragnarök; Alan Wake Remastered und Forspoken; Lucas berichtet euch über das Nintendo-Direct-Event und beide freuen sich auf den Super Mario Film für 2022; Frank hat bei dem Playmobil-Enterprise-Gewinnspiel mitgemacht und hofft, dass er sich die 500 € dafür sparen kann; Frank ist begeistert über die Fülle an Star Trek-Games bei Good Old Games, ganz besonders Bridge Commander | Outro: 4 weitere Spiele, die ihr geplayed haben müsst, bevor ihr died: Lucas: Sim City 3000 + Alex Kidd in Miracle World; Frank: Die Siedler III + Ni.Bi.Ru - Der Bote der Götter

This week, 70s Trek co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto are talking about Star Trek Games from the 1970s.  The show’s popularity made it a natural for games to be developed around it. The other aspect that made it perfect for a board game was its uniqueness.  Star Trek was different and memorable and in the 1970s, as the show grew in popularity, merchandisers wanted to capitalize on the brand anyway possible.  That included creating board games. Board Games The first board game showed up in 1967 when the show was still on NBC.  The Star Trek Game was re-issued again in 1974 and 1975 under the same name. In 1977, a version of 3-Dimensional Chess was released.  The author of the Star Fleet Technical Manual, Franz Joesph, actually helped to create the rules of play.     With the release of Star Trek The Motion Picture right around the corner, Milton Bradley released the Star Trek Game in 1979.  Of all the board games based on Trek in the decade, this was probably the best. Role Playing Games Of course, board games were not the only types of games played in the 1970s.  It was the decade when role playing grew in popularity and the Star Trek universe was perfect for the format. The first was the Star Trek Battle Manual released in 1972.  It's creator, Lou Zocchi did seek a license when creating the game, and Paramount stepped in stopped its production.  The next version in 1973 had no mention of Star Trek in it. But, Zocchi eventually did obtain the rights to use the Star Trek name and re-leased the game in 1977.  He also got permission from Franz Joseph Designs to use material that published in the Star Fleet Technical Manual. The next role playing game was released in 1978.  Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier was set in the TOS and TAS universe and was made to play on top of a table.  It included a book that described how to play the game, and also borrowed from Joseph's Star Fleet Technical Manual. While this game did not include game figures, you could purchase a packet of six pewter figures that stood about 1-inch tall.  The figures were sculpted, crudely, to be characters from the series. In addition to the pewter figures, players could also purchase plastic models based on Joseph's designs from the Technical Manual.  GameScience created four Star Fleet starships classes with stands so they could be used in the game. The last role playing created in the 70s was Star Fleet Battles by Task Force Games.  It also borrowed from the Technical Manual.  It was this game that lasted into the 80s and 90s having four major editions released over the years. Computer Game All of these games were pretty typical for the era.  They were made to play on top of a table with your friends.  But there was one game developed in this era that was totally unique and totally different for the time.  In 1971, Mike Mayfield wrote the software for the first Star Trek computer game.  It was played on mainframe computers.  At that time there was no graphical user interface such as Windows.  In fact, there were not cathode ray tube monitors, either!  The object of the game was simple: Find and destroy Klingons. Players printed a grid generated by the software that showed you where your ship was located and also where the Klingons were.  Then, you moved your virtual ship by typing in commands, then another printout would show the results.  When you got close enough to the Klingon ship, you typed in a command to fire your phasers.  the next printout told you whether or not you were successful. It took time to play this game, but it quickly grew in popularity amongst computer programmers in the 1970s. So just before the dawn of the personal computer revolution, Star Trek already had a presence with computer programmers and users.   This is also a precursor for what happened 20 years later.  As the early internet was coming into being, one of the greatest presences on the web at that time was Star Trek.   The show has always been a part of cutting edge technology.      

In this very special episode Greg is joined by guest hosts Aaron of Retro Obscura and Genesis Gems and Joe of the Upper Memory Block and Star Wars Stacks podcasts as they geek out about the three Star Trek games published for the Super Nintendo -- one each based off the original show, Next Generation, and Deep Space Nine. Come celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of Star Trek with us and what we think of these games and how they hold up today! Any questions, comments, suggestions, etc. can be sent to thesnespodcast@yahoo.com or left on our FB page. Thanks again for listening!

The Fandom Experience.When it comes to experiencing the different levels of fandom of The Next Generation, it's safe to say that "the sky's the limit." Darren, Phillip, and Daniel explore the various ways of expressing TNG and general Star Trek fandom. They talk cosplaying (even including wearing a blue shirt!), attending Trek/general scifi & comic conventions, and what it's like to be members of a fan association like Starfleet International (www.sfi.org). Darren and Phillip share their personal SFI experiences, including the various types of chapters and methods of membership.Earl Grey also discusses their own Trek game experiences, including the trio playing Star Trek Scene-It, the Last Unicorn version of a TNG tabletop role-playing game, #BridgeMates, and Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive VCR Board Game: A Klingon Challenge. They also speculate on what the official Earl Grey fan club would look like, what it would be called, and imagine their Mirror Universe Star Wars podcast.  So grab that Starfleet uniform from the closet, purchase your con ticket, and update your Next Gen RPG character sheet as Earl Grey tackles the fandom experience. HostsDaniel Proulx, Phillip Gilfus, & Darren MoserEditor / ProducerDarren MoserExecutive ProducersNorman C.
