There was a sentiment in many game communities in the early 00’s that you just couldn’t make a satisfying shooter game set in the universe of Star Trek. Star Trek The Next Generation: Klingon Honor Guard (1998) – by Microprose

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force (2000) – by Raven Software and Activsion *CRUNCH* Oh, looks like the fuselage just caught up with you, care to pick your new spawn point? Both for outsmarting the glitch and managing to land far behind enemy lines by a total fluke. You think to yourself, “I did it!” as a sense of victory washes over you. With lighting quick reflexes, you mash the E key and plummet down to Terra Firma, deploying your chute right before you hit the ground. crispy, your HUD is freaking out and you turn to your left: The hatch is blown wide open, and the hull is doing barrel rolls fast enough to make you hurl. Suddenly, you notice the VTOL is looking a touch…. Before you can get in range you hear everyone groan suddenly and say they’re dead, but to your confusion you’re very much so still alive with nobody else inside the ship in sight. Your closest buddy explains the plan over Ventrilo night time air drop, pop chutes at 200 metres to get past anti-air, spike the skylights and drop in flash bangs to disorient the hostiles while bravo team dashes to seize the spawn point. The objective? A war factory on the far right hand corner of the map spewing out enemy tanks.

Sitting with your mates in the VTOL as you hurtle across the skies of Colorado, packed full of parachutes and fully loaded weapon kits. Thus, Adrian Shephard was born and swiftly embedded into the adolescent imagination of thousands of gamers. A theoretical physicist seemed like an unlikely protagonist for 1998’s hit action game blockbuster, so when it came time for Gearbox to approach Valve to make an expansion pack, they had to come up with a character that not only built upon this framework, but also made a powerfully distinct protagonist. Gordon had a ponytail, he didn’t speak in one liners or at all, and the player’s perception of who he is was built up entirely from in-world clues and inferring meaning through NPC commentary. Gordon’s robust Gen-X “nerd turned combatant” archetype was intended as an answer to the typical grunting brawn-over-brain space marine motif we have come to endlessly celebrate in every perennial iteration of DOOM, subverting the expectant trope audiences had grown accustomed to over the years. If Gordon Freeman was the emblematic poster child for the Silent Protagonist, then for a time his foil, Adrian Shephard, became the iconic parallel for the faceless ones.

This was the age of the demo disk, and Windows was in ascension, it makes sense then that Microsoft too cornered the market on sneak peeks into the murky future of PC gaming.Įnter Games Sampler for Windows 95, aka Manhattan Space Station Odyssey. But what always caught my attention was not the veritable jenga tower of small black squares that cluttered my desk and infested my youth, but the new shiniest circle on the market: The CD-ROM. If, like me, you grew up in the 90s with nary a console to your name, you were intimately familiar with shareware, endlessly copied to floppies (against contemporary advice regarding copying that floppy) and passed around the playground (or, in my case, church pew). You seat it in the CD tray, press the button, and you’re transported to a new world, a better world, a digital world.
You look at your hands, clasped as they are shakily around the Computer Disc Read Only Memory device that came with your new Machine.
The year is 199X, you just signed on to your new Personal Computer Machine for the first time and finally finished the arcane incantations to get Windows 95 running. Games Sampler For Windows 95 – Monolith & Microsoft (1995)
