My first was Age of Empires, the first one. Started my great love affair of real time strategies and I'm still a huge fan of the series. Can't wait for Age of Empires 4 to come out.

If I wanted to go back to the first game I ever played, back when I was barely out of diapers, we had this karate game on an old Mac system that ran in DOS off a 7in floppy. Horrible game to be honest.

The 1980's Tom Baker could have been a good captain, although they would have to have found a way to work in his Doctor Who scarf.

Roddy McDowall is another one I'd love to have seen as a captain.

Or Malcolm Mc... Oh wait... They used him as a bad guy.

Oh God... I can't believe I forgot him...

Sean Bean. *drool* He would make a FANTASTIC Captain. Captain Sharpe... that would be SO brilliant! :D

Does anyone remember their first real computer/video games? I'm not talking about educational games or one's that came with a computer, but he first game that you saved up and bought yourself with your own money.

For me, the first game I got for myself was the original Command and Conquer. I had played several good games before that, but they were largely educational games or one's that came with my families first major computer (A Packard Bell running the latest OS, the brand new Windows 3.1)

Command and Conquer was what got me into gaming, and my favorite genre of gaming for the longest time, Real-Time Strategy.

I could see Colin Baker as an EMH.

Would this simply be a setup for for this exchange...

Visiting Dignitary enters sickbay, EMH is activated

EMH: Please state the nature of the medical emergency
Dignitary: Gaah! Who are you?
EMH: Why, I'm the doctor

Not that this is a bad thing, mind you.

I could see Colin Baker as an EMH.

lmao

...and stuck in traffic due to a nasty accident (not me thankfully) I was presented with this gem...

Four pages, and not one mention of Nathan Fillion? For shame, Stonewall, for shame.

Along those lines, I would love to see Harrison Ford as a gritty Starfleet Admiral. A few others I think could pull it off...

Dame Helen Mirren
George Clooney
Mark Harmon

McDowall yes, but not Baker so much or some of the other Doctors. Pertwee on the otherhand, thats the ticket.

Oooh, speaking of steely eyed hero types, Patrick McGoohan (of The Prisoner) would have made a great captain. :D

He would have made the perfect captain.B)

I can totally see him staring down a Klingon captain.

see.. I have this sick fantasy.. I would LOVE to see Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders as the Klingon sisters, B'etor and Lursa

I vote Hugo Weaving, I think he could make a very different style of captain to the cohort we're used to.

Otherwise, how about Alexander Skarsgård, since there must be some hot captains out there somewhere! :-D

Of all mentioned to this point, I think Diana Rigg would make the coolest captain. Or David Tennant for the eye candy. :-)

Assignment: Earth would have been a very cool show. I think it would have fit very well with the zeitgeist of the '60s.

I like all the suggestions here. And I'll add Ben Browder, not because I watched Farscape or Stargate, but because of how he manages to fill out whatever uniform they put him in. Sigh.

Sorry I didn't remember your name. >.

Bruce Campbell would make an awesome captain.

I'd also like to see Sean Connery and David Tennant

As for my avatar, I play in a PBEM Star Trek RPG that is a part of Bravo Fleet and our ship's captain made that for me.

Sorry I didn't remember your name. >.

I would also like to reprise my role as Science Officer.
