Mom's addicted to Harry Potter video games. And asked to me to dig out the StarTrek Voyager games I have. And of course I couldn't resist and had to start playing again. And I remembered why I loved StarTrek: Elite Force:

The femslash-y subtext.

In the original game, the player can choose between a male and a female character (Alex/ander/andria Munro), but the possible love interest for both is a woman (Telsia). ^^

This is "fixed" in Elite Force 2, where it's only Alexander and the hints at the romantic development become more explicit. :(

But someone created an Alexandria mod for the final "happy end" sequence. XD


Elite Force 1 takes place aboard the Voyager. There is a virtual tour on which one can explore all relevant decks and locations. This must be a great reference for fanfic-writers. :)

LOL your mom likes Harry Potter games? That's like 10 kinds of awesome. I can't even mention Harry Potter without my mom claiming its stupid (keep in mind she's never read one of the books, seen any of the movies or anything). She hates stuff like that, although my mom has this weird thing for Pikachu. Moms are weird, LOL.

Well, *I* think it's stupid, too. And mom never read the books, but she thought the movies were good. So when I gave my sister the games for Christmas to try on her new computer, she was fascinated and wanted to try them, too...

Why'd you get them for your sister?

I had one for the first HP game, but it wasn't very well-designed. I got stuck and gave up, lol.

Well, she loves the movies and I wanted her to have some applications on her new computer that use its capabilities, so Harry Potter was ideal because she would understand them, be able to play them, they aren't too violent and are in 3D. :)

I think it's stupid, but it doesn't do any harm, so I gave them to her because I knew she would love them.

(It might even do her some good.)

If you're looking for them on emule, make sure you get the no-cd/nocd cracks, too. I have the original CD's but wanted to keep them safe and tried to copy them, but it doesn't start with a copied CD...

I'm currently trying to download a version from utorrent. I'll let you know how it goes... hopefully it'll work. :)
