It's Star Trek's 50th anniversary today!
Star Trek was one of my favorite shows and big interests when I was growing up. I even painted a huge control board, based on information from the Next Generation Technical Manual, so that I could pretend to be controlling the Enterprise (Enterprise-D for those fellow fans, TNG was always my favourite)
Ooh, there's a Deep Space 9 technical manual...
I don't know why I liked Star Trek so much, but the characters were cool (there was even an android on the bridge!), the ship did all kinds of great stuff, and the special effects looked amazing (at the time, anyway).
Anyway, I had an idea a little while back to start a series of videos looking at some of my favorite games (mainly computer but maybe a couple of tabletop or mobile games also), and it seems to make perfect sense to start it off today with a look at Star Trek: Birth of the Federation. Enjoy :)
