Star Trek: A Final Unity from 1994!!  

I find myself engaged listening to you install & then explaining how a game is set out.

I loved this game for it had a typical "Teaser" sequence and the fade-in/out title at 16:20, just like any real episode we watched on TV. Many challenges in the game, including the final choice and Picard's epilogue, were very philosophical.

I seem to remember I found out after playing about a third of way through this I got stuck on a story bug. But couldnt find a patch for the game the early internet was not great for walkthroughs. I remember this took sometime setting up but was so excited to get it think i learned a lot about running dos on my dads pentium pro 180.

Niiice :D Just replayed ST: A Final Unity not so long ago (well, maybe a year or two ago?) on my "cardboard box" Pentium retro computer, and it's still pretty good! Great memories here! Cheers, and thanks for the quality content! edit: i can swear i have the same CD Writer Plus model :))

Yeay! My saving grace on real hardware was memmaker, included in Dos 6.22, and replacing the build in dosextender(DOS/4GW) with DOS/32. Note that the information database gets expanded over the course of the game!

I always found this game really impressive as a kid, but yeah, it was notoriously hard to get to work properly. I played it for a while with no sound before figuring it out, and had to spend hours on a tech support line to a Dutchman to figure out how to get the mouse drivers to work.

wow, look at that tower 😮

Looks like fun!

That looks like a really fun Star Trek game! I like the PC, too! Is techmedia a PC case brand that was around in the 1990s?

I freaking loved this game as a kid, it's awesome. I struggled to play through it and I don't think I ever managed to complete it until I rediscovered it as a late teen and probably used a guide. I do remember struggling to get it running on XP (didn't know about DOSBOX) and eventually installed Windows 98 on my P4 1.5Ghz, using some dubious guide to install 98 after XP. Did you ever play the Star Trek: Generations game made by Microprose? This one is a Windows based game and really struggles in anything that isn't 9x. So DOSBOX is out, XP is very buggy and Vista++ is almost impossible. So it's really been left by the wayside in terms if modern play

Never got to play this one. Have you played Starfleet Academy?

Kids these days have no idea what we had to go through sometimes to play a game.

If you already have both himem and emm386 loaded, why not to load all device drivers HIGH as well? (DEVICEHIGH=blah) You have 130kB of unused upper memory there, make use of it!

I remember having that, its probably still on a shelf... There was one bit I just couldn't get past. Might dig it out and try it again, not sure if I should continue watching because ... spoilers. Thing is, what shall I play it on... shall I rebuild an old 486VLB, or maybe my P133 Win98 could run it in DOS mode Minimum System Requirements: 486DX 33Mhz processor or higher 8 MB RAM (DOS), 16 MB RAM (Win 95) MS-DOS 5.0 or higher operating system SVGA VESA Graphics SoundBlaster

Seems like a pretty decent game actually

Sometime in the middle of the year I found the perfect Mouse pad Sealed It was a star trek next generation . q

Hahah, totally lost it at the bridge FMV .... it is a FMV, where they could have used the actors and stuff, but they used such a cheap CGI generation of it. Classic DOS gaming ... never change 🙂

This makes the cutscenes in bridge commander look terrible. if they were higher resolution on this game it would blow my mind.

first person lol
