	The History of Star Trek PC Games
		Gaming back in the early part of the 90's was mostly the domain of the small console world.
		Thought and depth was put into the game play as well so instead of running around shooting things the player had to think of ways to solve a problem, yes, 25th anniversary was top of the game selling list in a lot of countries worldwide.
		That was then followed in the mid 90's by Star Trek: Klingon and Star Trek: Borg, both of which was an in-depth manual and tech CD on both of the races with cut scenes from the different episodes which featured both races.

	Star Trek (text game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Star Trek text game is a classic text-only computer game that originated from the BASIC programming language hacker culture of the 1970s.
		The format of this game is often credited as being the progenitor of many 1980s outer space themed videogames, of which Atari's Star Raiders is most notable and was itself cloned extensively.
		EGA Trek is a shareware, turn-based combat game set in the Star Trek universe.

	Star Trek (script game)
		Star Trek was a text-based mainframe computer game written by Don Daglow on a PDP-10 timesharing computer at Pomona College in 1972, and upgraded periodically through 1974, including contributions by Jonathan Osser.
		The game was picked up by the Digital Equipment DECUS file sharing network in 1972 and distributed to many universities and other PDP-10 installations around the world, often appearing on the same systems alongside the Star Trek text game.
		The two Star Trek games were each among the most popular mainframe computer games of the 1970s, which were played for free on college systems.

	Star Trek (script game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daglow was a writing major studying playwriting with professor Steven Young, but prior games (including a horse racing game where players guessed the winner) had already used the idea of printing out the dialogue of a fictional character to narrate the action.
		In later versions of the game players had "one time only" options such as The Corbomite Maneuver, where a player in a damaged ship could feign a self-destruct sequence to scare away the enemy.
		When the personal computer software business began in the late 1970's, the game's source code was republished with many variations in books by David Ahl and a wide variety of magazines.

		While some Trek fans loudly proclaim it's as good as other shooters of the day (it shipped in October 1998), the general consensus among reviewers is that those are about the only folks who hold that opinion.
		Released last May, Star Trek: The Next Generation - Birth of the Federation didn't attempt at all to re-create the experience of the appeal of the TV shows or movies - there's nary a star to be found.
		With no plans for new Star Trek games from MicroProse, this is definitely a "not with a bang but a whimper" climax to a story that began so promisingly with the first peeks at A Final Unity those many years ago.

	Phosphor Dot Fossils \| Atari 2600 Stellar Track
		Star Trek arcade game is this Sears exclusive - and, unless you're trying to put together an insanely complete collection of 2600 cartridges, don't sweat it if the rarity of this game prevents you from ever getting your hands on it.
		Whereas Sega took the original Star Trek mainframe text game concept and ramped up the graphics 10,000%, Stellar Track is that original game, reduced to text graphics and commands which are inputted by selecting from a menu with the joystick.
		The game was renamed because Paramount wouldn't give permission to base it on the TV show, and yet the game clearly makes reference to Starfleet, stardates, photons and "phasors." And the shape of the ship in the minimal graphics is slightly suggestive of an overhead view of the classic Enterprise.

		Games like EVEonline made these zones so large that traveling around in them without using the warp was long and thus people didn't spend much time finding out where the zone lines were.
		In games like Freelancer (not an MMO) to travel around a zone you had to use these interesting gates that seemed like a road, you'd travel from one section of the zone to the other using them, and finnaly you'd use a gate to travel to the next zone over.
		That way the game feels like its full seamless, but your PC loads and unloads zones as you move, so when you leave a zone the buffer behind you is closed, and a new buffer is loaded where you could go.

	Science Fiction Game Reviews
		Tribbles is a trick-taking game that uses the Tribble cards--and only the Tribble cards--from the Trouble with Tribbles expansion (the first set released under Decipher's new licensing agreement, which granted them the rights to make games based on the original series).
		That means this is a game that fans of the original game can play with family members or friends who may not be up for a full-fledged CCG.
		Considering that the game is designed for two to four players, it really doesn't play very well with two--one side inevitably goes out early, and if each player is using one of the preconstructed decks from the boxed set, the remaining rounds of play are moot.

		Another of the early space games, Star Trek would go on to be famous because of it's small demands on the hardware needed to run the game.
		It became the "standard" Star Trek in February 1973 when it was put in the HP contributed program library and onto a number of HP Data Center machines.
		Radio Shack also published a book on BASIC games, and it included a very different version that was sort of a text based Spacewar, but with various messages from Star Trek characters.

		Particularly, Geraghty examines ways in which the Star Trek is used as a way to deal with personal devastations, such as deaths in the family, and how the fan community can help cope with such tragedy.
		It is not surprising, then, when fans often break into discussions of problems in their personal lives on fan community boards, using the text as an excuse for community-building and to discuss personal issues.
		Fans use the text as a way to understand and to articulate their feelings about very personal issues, the types of discussions that are much easier to have with analogies.

		Instead of a game in which you simply rehash events that have been modified into a playable format, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary presents you with all new scenarios that run in the same vein as the original television series.
		While a highpoint of this game is certainly to hear all new dialogues from the original Star Trek cast, the game itself is not to be scoffed at either.
		While gamers who are less familiar with the Star Trek saga may find it hard to relate to the game, this is true for all games that are based on the Star Trek license and it is not a direct fault of this one.

	Star Trek Gallery: Mego Museum
		Mego's "Star Trek" line was "officially" based on the live-action series in syndication in 1974, but the Mego designers appear to have referred repeatedly to The Animated Series for inspiration.
		As popular and collectible as the "Star Trek" crew figures are/were, a sizable warehouse discovery of these gems was unearthed in Canada in the mid-1980s, leading to a drop-off in value that the collecting community is only now beginning to recover from, some twenty years later.
		In spite of many glaring inaccuracies and inconsistencies with the established "Star Trek" canon, these four Aliens sold well-enough to warrant a third (and, as it would turn out, final) series of "Trek" figures, consisting of four more Aliens: a Romulan, a Talosian, an Andorian, and a Mugato.

		At the beginning of the game, you are given a certain number of shields and photons and during the game play, you can gain additional shields, photons, and warp power by docking with a Starbase.
		Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operatos might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up.

	Techtite Game Reviews --- Star Trek Armada
		If there's one thing a Trekker wants, it's to be able to play a game that salutes one of the best moments in Star Trek history: the infamous battle between the Borg and the Federation.
		While this game is not a re-creation of that specific battle in Trek "history," it does let you plan strategies in battles between the Borg, Klingons, Romulans, and/or the Federation.
		Although 3D accelerated (the FX and animation are top notch; more on that next), the game plays not unlike a 2D strategy game, with a status bar at the bottom of the screen, to control all major game options.

		What was different about this game then all others is that it had a second monitor at the top of the game so the rest of the store and the other people in the game room could see it.
		Eventually we gave up on the game; it was tedious to trudge through the same areas repeatedly, and it was very frustrating when a dwarf would appear and steal something we had worked hard to collect.

		It’s nice to play a Star Trek game with such direct control over the ship, with a bit of stealth and strategy to color the missions.

		The game eschewed fancy interfaces in favor of a hardcore geek-centric view of the universe: The world could be expressed and controlled by lines of teletype text, with emotionally satisfying results.
		In addition, the game is the first example I can think of — certainly the first example to which I was exposed — of a traditional media property being converted to a computer-based medium.
		It could be argued that this 'Star Trek' game paved the way for the videogames of 'Tron,' 'Star Wars,' and 'Charlie's Angels.' And on behalf of technology geeks everywhere, I'd like to apologize for that last one.
