Imagine my delight and surprise, in 2018 when I was at a local bowling alley in Charlotte with my family, and strayed into a mini-arcade to find a deluxe cabinet version of this fifteen year old franchise game.
Since the game was still playable, I knew I needed to snap some photos and feature them all here on the blog.
Star Trek: Voyager: The Arcade Game was released in 2002 (after the end of the actual TV series), by Monaco Entertainment and Team Play Inc. It's a first person shooter (FPS)-styled game, though re-modeled appropriately for Star Trek concepts. The guns (presumably phasers) don't have to be reloaded but rather re-modulated instead (think: fighting the Borg.)
The enemies in the game hail straight from the series, but are not just the Collective, however, but also Species 8472, and the Hirogen. There also some...imaginative new aliens.
Additionally, some game modules involve space combat with the Borg and feature the customized shuttle, the Delta Flyer.
In short, if you are a fan of Voyager, this is a great game, in no small part because it recreates the settings (like Voyager's bridge) and characters (Borg, especially, down to their First Contact sphere) of the series.
