Botf

LOL, I'm tempted to go and get mine out of the closet and put it u; there.

$65? Wow...

As the saying goes, "There's a sucker born every minute." It was 'almost' a good game; just needed to fix some things.

I got this and played it to death when I was twelve, it wasn't really that bad, when you're that age you don't care about having to click all those little bits to get things done, or micromanaging through everything with little help from the interface, or any other niggles it had. And the Trek theme bumped up the score a lot.

And I think I paid something to the tune of $65 for it back then, I could make it back now!

I thought BOTF was pretty much immediately discounted.

No, that was the real MOO3.

[DrSpike]

I'm selling mine for $60 if anyone is interested.

[Kassiopeia]

Well, it was around 300-350 markka back then, it would have been equal to 60 dollars. If you still had 300 markka around you could turn that into 50 euros (until the end of the year), which is actually worth $75, and my copy is well used, so I really can't get my money back.

I played this game to death.

It was almost a masterpiece, but rushed development resulted in merely an average game.

[Spaced Cowboy]

It is $65 for the disk only in a jeweled case, boxed gently used copies like mine sell for more, like $100+

New ones are going for $165 LOL

[DrSpike]

Hmm, I thought it was a blip rather than a serious price. I'll have to check ebay to see if it is the same here!

[Standup]

Well between £32 for a used copy to £112 for a new copy on Amazon.co.uk market place which about matches the US prices.

Still these things happen - I gave a friend an old digital camera and a handful of smart media cards only to discover similar cards were going for £20 - £30 each on ebay. Far more than the camera was worth.

I used to play it a lot. I enjoyed it despite the flaws. The thing that really annoyed me was when the Borg or the cristalline entity would show up and devastate all your planets. There was little you could do about it.

True to the show

[DrSpike]

IIRC you could actually kill the crystalline entity with enough ships.

As Spikey said, but if you have enough cloaked ships, neither will get to shoot at you.

The borg are killable unless they come *too* early. The worst though was that they'd GUT the ai if they came in on their edges of the map, ruining the game and wasting all that tedious micromanagement
