It’s all good, some of it’s better. I only think of the importance of keeping Gene Roddenberry’s dream alive, the aspect of how he knew there would be changes, but none that would change his views. Far ahead, being there is so much, I fear the world of Star Trek becoming big, as it will and should be, and I mean really big, and too much is too much. I ask the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth to guard and protect this creation inside Creation.

Perhaps there will be a planet of all Pac Men.

And you’ll beam down to a planet and to save the princess to get dilithium, you’ll have to climb up a scaffolding structure as the evil Kong throws barrels of plasma as you that you have jump over.

A jungle planet full of pits to jump over with accurately timed swinging ropes.

Perhaps a lot of asteriod belts to blast through.

We’ll see.

Some past Atari games that quickly comke to mind are, for instance, the entire series of The Matrix games, omg were those horrible!

I’ve got a bad feeling about this….

Atari is officially my new Favorite company. They Saved the Ghostbusters game, now they’re bringing me Star Trek too. It also brings me back to my early gaming days on my Dad’s old Atari 800xL computer.

Atari Rules!

While I usually don’t care for remakes, a well made remake of Star Raiders would be awesome. That is definently one of the sweetest 8-bit games from that era.

Of course when you look at Atari’s history, they always had a soft spot for space games, even up through the Jaguar (their last console). With their new structure it hopefully will work out well.

Star Raiders on the Atari 800 was great!

I think the MMO is in good hands.

“i cant wait for this game i really cant , i am a big gamer (i have played every star trek game in the last 20 years (windows ,xbox , dos ) BOTF is still the best :) ) but could never get into mmorpgs , hopefully this will be the one to get me into them.”

I never could get into “Birth of the Federation”. Bridge Commander is my all-time favorite game.

Star Trek Online coming out in 2010 makes perfect sense. Because the movie comes out in 2009 and it takes about six months for the DVD/ Blu-ray Disc to come and that would be around early 2010. Also, in ‘10, Trek will be back on the air like crazy 24/7 and the tension for a video game will grow larger as the months go by. Atari, after falling out from the industry in 1994 to about 2006, is statring to make a name for themselves again. This game, alone with Ghostbusters: The Video Game, will convince Atari to work very hard on their new games.

16, yes Atari is actually a large game company. They don’t make game consoles anymore but they do make games. Most of them are excellent and perform superbly. I think that this is a good thing.
