FMV Hell – Star Trek: Borg

My contribution to That Guy With the Glasses’ donation drive was a special entry of FMV Hell where I take on the dreaded Borg menace along with the omnipotent Q!

How many stupid ways can I find to die in the future? Is there a cure for transporter psychosis? Does Q have testicles? Find out!

    FMV Hell, as a whole, is one of the best ideas for a series I have ever heard of, in comedy terms :) Good Job xD

    Well, I sort of like Next Gen and the original series. Voyager was just awful though. Ugh. Garbage.

    I dunno about Q not being omisexual… check out some of those scene with Picard…. then again Q could just be making an exception because Picard is exceptional XD

    Hey Spoony great show man. Keep it up!

    I got a couple of suggestions for your game reviews:
    two FMVs: Critical Path and Double Switch
    Or Deep Space Nine: Harbinger <—– This one is specially awful! Star Trek meets MYST

    That was a great review! I actually thought the part where the player had to get assimilated to get the access codes was an ingenious puzzle.

    I’ve never played, or even heard of the game, but it does seem that the guy who plays Q is the best thing about it.

    Can’t say I know, or at least remember this Q Character from Star Trek, but I bet my dad would know, he’s a big fan.

    Oh man, I remember spending a bunch of time on that game. Never finished it though; I got to the cube and you were supposed to hit some Borg symbol on a console and there was like a hundred. I got tired of sitting through the FMVs again and again, so I quit.

    But… You’ve made me want to dig it out again. Good review man.

    Every time I see a review of classic FMV games, it reminds me of time I’ll never, EVER get back lol. It also reminds me of a couple of other things, one of which is kinda scary…

    1. FMV games at one time were cutting edge, and still didn’t really work out (there were exceptions, but you know that).
    2. (Here’s the scary one) Things have a bad habit of coming back…sometimes again, and sometimes for more. A lot of retro game types are making a comeback, and imagine if these big game developers take FMV for another stroll. Should that happen, will we brace ourselves and give it another go? Or will we run in terror? Imagine the field day Spoony could have with FMV ressurection…

    As always, thanks for adding another great video to the collection Spoony.

    I remember when I played this game at my older brother’s flat. I was so freaked out when the woman with the Borg implant on her head started talking like she was possessed by the Borg, and it still freaks me out today. Great job as always, Spoony.

    It was nice to see that William Shatner’s School of Acting did actually have one student after all lol.

    Never played this one, but I still have Star Trek: Starfleet Academy with Chekov’s Lost Missions somewhere. After seeing this great review, I think I will give them another try just for fun. After all it’s got real Shatner in it. You just can’t go wrong with him onboard…. oh…wait….yes you can…. :D

    You know, I couldn’t help thinking that this might be a really interesting idea for a movie or novel. If you drop for a moment the Star Trek premise of “All beings are liberal democrats, except for the evil Romulans who voted for Bush,” and actually imagine Q as a superpowerful being with a strange sense of humour, who will even stoop to manifesting bikini babes just to screw with the poor human’s sexual urges – then you have an interesting commentary on the nature of self and transhumanist thinking. Presumably the protagonist really does die each cycle, and is reconstituted with the memories of the previous life burned into his synapses. Meanwhile, everyone from the alternate reality ceases to be, functional death of sentients in Q’s computer program. By the end of the story the protagonist must choose a series of idiotic and immoral actions with the improbable result of actually saving the day, while suffering the trauma of multiple, painful deaths. Now that would be interesting.

    As a game however, it’s epic fail. One of the hallmarks of choose-your-own adventure is that there were multiple paths, and even different endings available. This would have been easy to implement in this game, and it’s a shame they didn’t choose to do so.

    Nice review! Always great to see something related to Star Trek. This one was in my opinion the best true FMV-game out there, except perhaps Gabriel Knight II was better – it had much worse actors but the puzzles were good and it was a real adventure game. But this Borg-game was better than ST: Klingon.

    BTW: Starfleet Academy was a poor man’s Wing Commander-clone with FMV starring Shatner and beginner actors.. plot made no sense with rogue Starfleet cadets trying to take over the galaxy (or something) and the player & Kirk foiled their plot at the last minute. Try to find that old game for review too, if you can.

    Aw, man I was hoping for another part of the FF VIII review… funny how I love that game and I still find you railing on about it hilarious. Well, except for part two, where you blame your obsession for having to have 100 of every magic on every character on the game.

    Still, great review. I totally cracked up on the “Shatner technique”.

    I know this is geeky but..

    Did you say that he takes the cadet back to Wolf 359? If so, why are they using DS9 era uniforms when those weren’t clearly established until that show…unless this game is retconning that and saying they were but we just never saw them in the 3 year interim. Yes, I realize this was made in 1996, but damnit…use the TNG style if you’re gonna time travel!

    Also, I kind of agree, 1996 wasn’t the greatest year for Trek, infact the best thing about Trek that year WAS First Contact. Either way though, good video and glad to see you like Trek even with it’s flaws.

    Nerd explanation: DS9 uniforms were used alongside the TNG uniforms for a while, the DS9 type being used for deep space and frontier assingments. It’s possible the Righteous was on a long term deep space mission and was called back to fight the Borg, hence the uniforms.

    Real explanation: Of course that doesn’t explain the Voyager era phasers. In truth they were just lazy and used Voyager sets and props with no heed to continuity.

    LOL. Great review. I remember playing this when I was a kid. I like Q now, I rewatched some of the game on YouTube, somebody’s posted most of the game, and John DeLancie is a funny guy. But this was a stretch to far for me. I think its one of the reasons I hated Star Trek right up until Voyager, which I love, came out. But, as Voyager pisses all over the other shows because the other shows are fucking garbage, that’s a good thing. I have an appreciation for TNG now, but only if there’s nothing else on.

    So Q is the physical incarnation of Deus Ex Machina. I love John De Lancie. He’s obviously the best actor, and he’s hilarious. I love his facial expressions that give that subtle yet at the same time exaggerated look of… I don’t know… looking down on you and knowing he can say whatever he wants and you can’t do shit.
    I actually had to make a “choose-your-own-adventure” thing in computer class, and, even though it was as simple as possible, making non-linear games (or non-linear ANYTHING for that matter) is HARD and fucking time consuming. There’s a reason most games today are linear: they want to spend time making the gameplay and graphics more innovative rather than focusing on those Fable-loving faggots’ precious multiple endings. They don’t have TIME to make multiple scenarios. It would add an extra couple of months to development which they don’t have. Deadlines take precedence over the whining of GameSpot.
    Anyway, tl;dr: Q is the man… god… omnipotent being.

    It seems that every book, movie, or TV show that has a race of omnipotent beings, they always have to be arrogant pricks.

    It was Q in Star Trek, just like the Ellimist in Animorphs and Mr. Mxyzptlk in Superman. Actually, I think the old Star Trek had several other omnipotent characters, but none were as awesome or as annoying as Q.

    I always liked Q. And I always thought the people on the Enterprise treated him too much like a prick. He’s an omnipotent being that’s only there to have himself a good time and to test humanity.

    Why can’t Picard or anyone else see it as just that?

    Plus, he has a SENSE OF HUMOR. Nobody else on the Enterprise has a sense of humor. And I find that to be very bad.

    What is humanity without a sense of humor?

    I always liked Q. And I always thought the people on the Enterprise treated him too much like a prick. He’s an omnipotent being that’s only there to have himself a good time and to test humanity.

    Why can’t Picard or anyone else see it as just that?

    Plus, he has a SENSE OF HUMOR. Nobody else on the Enterprise has a sense of humor. And I find that to be very bad.

    What is humanity without a sense of humor?

    Even though it made for some fun episodes, it would have been cool to see Q stay evil, like he was in the first episode of STTNG. He was still a heartless bastard in that one, but his motivations were completely malevolent, instead of just wanting to have fun like later in the show. And although I liked First Contact and Nemesis alot, it would have been awesome to have Q make a cameo or two in them.

    A favorite as well, but what about perhaps the ultimate FMV Star Trek game ever; Klingon Academy. I mean; six disks, half the cast of Star Trek 6, and an almost full Trek film in its own right. My favorite aspect was the perspective it put on Star Trek, even if it took a lecture in command lines and a very comfortable keyboard to get right.

    It would like to see your perspective on (likely) one of the last FMV style games ever made. See whether it deserves a places in FMV heaven or hell.

    Speaking of “pizza and margarita shooters,” you should do a review of the abysmal Farscape game if you get a chance. It’s not as old as most of the games you play but it is terrible and while it did come out in 2002, the same year as the Minority Report game (which it doesn’t appear you are ever planning on finishing), it looks like it came out in the late 90s.

  • Anonymous

    I don’t know why, but I did liked this game. I played it around the time I have started to get an interest in Star Trek (considering my older brother was a fan of this universe at the time). Some parts was kind of annoying because I had to redo certain parts because there was some parts I didn’t know what to do, the reaction time was too fast, or it was just buggy.

    Example, I don’t remember how many times I had to redo the part I steal my father’s phaser to modify the frequency (though I didn’t know you could punch him the first time I went to this sequence), but I do know it was a lot. I swear I click at the right place so many times, but rarely worked.

    Anyway, I liked this one. Aside of Star Trek: Voyager – Elite force, those were the only games I have enjoyed from this universe. When I have finished this game, I tried to see all the ways I could have failed (and yes, the part with Q in the turbolift was hilarious) XD

    Thanks for the video! :D

    Seeing Q get kicked in the nuts not once, but twice, along with the uppercut, almost caused me to spray my mountain dew all over my laptop. That was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time.

    wow, Q is such a dick. and if it was his fault that he started all the mess, why wont he just use his space time continuum to undo his decision himself?????? glad he got owned with a nut shot and an uppercut.

  • http://profile.yahoo.com/NTZLOX6KYHAMKM3NIYGPPJ3O54 john

    Actually, Q may not be responsible for the Borg attack we see in TNG, as it is widely speculated by fans that the Borg already knew about the federation before Q introduced Picard to the Borg.  In the final episode of the first season “The Neutral Zone”, several Federation and Romulan outposts bordering the Neutral zone disappeared and while whoever did it is never revealed outright, it is heavily implied that the Borg did it.  This could have been a scouting mission done by the Borg and its possible they were planning on sending a cube to Federation space before the Enterprise’s encounter with the Borg

    It’s quite possible that Q saw the Borg incursion into the Federation as inevitable and exposed the Enterprise to the Borg as a way of giving the Federation a warning.  Q can be quite a dick at times, but he does help out here and there in TNG

    I know Q says he is responsible in the game but I doubt it is considered canon.
