Description:  In principle the game is identical to the old text based Star Trek game. But the high resolution graphic (flicker fixer strongly recommended) brings the original Star Trek feeling, because any station you can operate on your ship have the LCARS design. You can plot the course on a map or set the energy management on easy usable menus. There are also the original voices of the series. The rest of the sounds are the usual beeping and buzzing of the devices. The really great about it is, that the package includes various szenarios. So you can e.g. play old Star Trek episodes or fight the Dominion. The documentation in Amiga Guide format is also well done, because it is built exactley as the menus in the game. The only weak points are low interaction possibilities and the hardly restricted shareware version. It's O.K. to wait 20 seconds before it starts, but in addition you cannot use the phasers and the ship is damaged, if you go on warp.
Evaluation: 9/10
