Games[edit]

Stargate ride[edit]

Stargate SG-3000 (abbreviated to SG-3000) is a simulator thrill ride based around the highly successful MGM television series Stargate SG-1 that made its debut at The Space Centre in Bremen, Germany in December, 2003. A reproduction has now been built at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom, Six Flags Great America and Six Flags Marine World. As of 2006, Six Flags Great America no longer shows Stargate SG-3000. The contract with the park expired and the movie was pulled about a month before the season started.[1][2]

Stargate pinball[edit]

Stargate is a 1995 pinball game, designed by Ray Tanzer and Jon Norris and released by Gottlieb. The game is based on the film Stargate, not the television show Stargate SG-1. It has many modes, including several multi-ball modes.

A 'pyramid' is the main feature of this game. It has a top that opens by raising and lowering. A moving 'Glidercraft' ship will be extended from the pyramid when the pyramid is open. The 'Glidercraft' will zigzag left-right, in front of the pyramid, with about 90 degrees of horizontal movement.[3]

This game also features two 'Horus' targets. These are basically the reverse of drop targets: they are targets that, rather than dropping down into the playfield when hit, rise up into the air. Each target is attached to a large 'Horus' structure, which is itself attached to a pivot that can raise and lower. These Horus structures drop to block the player from reaching two key shots. The game occasionally raises them, allowing the player to temporarily make the shots. Part of the development involved having actor James Spader record the voice parts of Daniel Jackson.[3]

Stargate Trading Card Game (abbreviated as Stargate TCG) is a trading card game based on the long-running Stargate series.

By completing missions, players can play glyphs onto their characters which unlock abilities that could help them win the game.

The online version of the game has since been discontinued. It was identical to the standard game and contained the same cards. However, being online it gave players the advantage of a more diverse group of opponents to play against at any time of day or night. Also, it included an online deck builder and collection management system, making it easy to manage physical and virtual collections. There were also online tournaments with rewards of free cards and increased player rankings in worldwide standings. There was at one point a redemption program known as 'Through the Gate'. This allowed players to collect the full set of digital cards, and then redeem them online for physical cards.[5] The online game went live on April 27, 2007.

The first set of cards contains 292 cards. Starter decks feature Jack O'Neill, Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter, and Teal'c, and are fully playable, each containing sixty cards including four team character cards that are based on the heroes of the show.

The set is made up of 66 Rare cards, 66 Uncommon cards, 100 Common cards, 6 Ultra-Rare cards, and 54 Starter-deck-only cards.

The set is made up of 66 Rare cards, 66 Uncommon cards, 100 Common cards, 6 Ultra-Rare cards, and 54 Starter-deck-only cards.

Stargate SG-1: The Alliance, (abbreviated as SG-1:TA), is a cancelled game based on Stargate SG-1. Development was cancelled in August 2005.

The game was said to have been based upon the events of the SG-1 seasons; the player was able to select their character for a mission and fulfill the roles of that character as seen in the TV show. It was confirmed that the Alliance part of the name referred to the Alliance between Anubis and the new enemy, Haaken. The Haaken have never appeared in the TV show, they are a new alien race that was created by the developer's concept artists and game designers. The game was an FPS with an option for a third person perspective, consisting of objectives to be reached during various missions and levels. Since the developers have not shown much of the gameplay, it is not clear how exactly the game was meant to play out. However, from the video from the Stargate Atlantis: Rising DVD, it appears to follow the storyline well. In 2012, gaming blog Past to Present Online began to release information about the game, including gameplay videos that revealed the storyline and mechanics.[10]

According to IGN, an 'administrator posting in the game's official forum stating that the game has been cancelled'. However, this has never been officially confirmed by the developer, Perception Studios, despite forcing the majority of its staff into redundancy in January 2006.[11]

After a two-year-long legal battle with JoWood Productions, Perception won their fight in December 2007 with JoWood admitting they had no rights to the Stargate franchise. In fact, Perception has all rights to the Stargate SG-1: The Alliance game, and any further Stargate game releases. It is expected that work will now continue in some way on The Alliance, although existing parts of the already made game may not be used.[12]Peter DeLuise was especially disappointed, having devoted much time to the game's development (albeit primarily the audio portion).[13]

Stargate Worlds[edit]

Stargate Worlds (abbreviated as SGW)[14] was to be a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) video game in-development by Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment (CME) (in association with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) (MGM) and was to be published by FireSky for Microsoft Windows. The game's setting was mainly borrowed from military science fiction series Stargate SG-1. It was announced that Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment is under evaluation by a receiver and that development of Stargate Worlds has ceased.[15]

Stargate: Resistance[edit]

Stargate: Resistance (abbreviated as SGR) is an online, third-person shooter owned and operated by Dark Comet Games, powered by the Unreal 3 engine, and based on the television series Stargate SG-1. It was announced in December 2009 and originally released in 2010 by Firesky and Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, however Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment has been in receivership since March 2010.[16] Since then, Firesky entered into an agreement with Dark Comet Games for the maintenance, operation and development of Stargate Resistance.[17] The game has sold over 51,000 copies[18] and new downloadable content is being released.[19] No subscription fee was required to play the game. At Midnight (PST), January 17, 2011, all Stargate Resistance servers were shut down, including an extensive user forum.

In December 2014, fans of the game were able to bring up new unofficial game servers, allowing users to play the game as it was just before the January 2011 shut down. [20]
