	Review: Star Trek: The Next Generation "A Final Unity" - Adventure Collective - Game Reviews, Previews, ...
		Spectrum Holobyte gets extra kudos for paying attention to the fact that every team member in ST:TNG has his or her own unique skills to contribute.
		First, I feel that Spectrum Holobyte has focused excessively on the Away Team paradigm, and has almost forgotten that we are on a Starship that is the size of a small New England town.
		Spectrum Holobyte has obviously invested the proper time and resources towards developing the story, which in my opinion, has really yet to be topped by any of the other Star Trek pseudo-adventure titles.

	The Tetris Taxonomy: Articles
		Early on, Spectrum Holobyte brought runaway bestseller Tetris from Russia to the U.S. A few years later Paramount awarded Spectrum lucrative software rights to Star Trek-The Next Generation and the hit movie Top Gun.
		Year in, year out, Spectrum's games have topped the lists, and it seemed Spectrum understood everything you had to know in the computer game business except how to make money at it.
		In other words, Spectrum's best customers are people who measure their machismo by the number of transistors in their microprocessors--an insight that told Race to forget about the kiddie market and only build games that eat processing power like Godzilla eats Tokyo.

	For The Fun Of It:
		I'm flying the best simulation in the Falcon stable (Spectrum HoloByte's) and my commanding officer tells me to pack my bags and report to the Wildcatters, a new squadron working out of Digital Integration's F-16 Combat Pilot jet-fighter simulation.
		After a few missions and some time to think, I paid my old CO a call and told him what I thought the differences were between Digital Integration's F-16 and Spectrum HoloByte's version.
		If it came down to a choice between flying Spectrum HoloByte's F-16 simulator or Digital's F-16 Combat Pilot, I would go with whichever was closest and then get some temporary duty with the other unit on a 50/50 basis.
