Can’t reach the site. There’s no way Paramount will let this slide, though…
Someone recreated the 1996 FMV game "Star Trek: Borg" that works in a browser and with upscaled visuals

They were simply hired by the Roddenberry Estate to do it legit (VR for more devices soon): roddenberry.x.io
They also did this: …steampowered.com/…/The_Orville__Interactive_Fan_…
And for those who dig this sort of thing, their affiliate studio’s upcoming rad Starship Simulator game: store.steampowered.com/app/…/Starship_Simulator/

They did come back and work out a good deal (and props to the Roddenberry estate for doing that!) but the first reaction was issuing a takedown.
In this case, the fact that it’s using property under actual copyright from a third party (the game studio) rather than just being a fan recreation isn’t in the project’s favour. And to be fair, the author(s) state as much on the website.
I didn’t know they got to do the Orville. Unfortunately, I don’t have any VR access these days, but I’m glad they’re doing well!

Reasonable assumption, then I better go play it quick! (Btw, the site took very long to load, but now its working normally.)

It looks great. Wonder which tool was used to upscale te videos.

They used a rare DVD remaster from Japan. Or at least that’s what it says on the front page of the website.
