Star Trek PC Games and Reference Cds

One of the first Star Trek Games, and one of the best ones. The is an adventure game
divided in eight episodes. It was first released in a diskette version, and later in
CD version. The latest one was enhanced, with the voices of the original
Star Trek cast. The last episode changed in the CD version.
The game is very good, with great graphics for the time it was
launched.

Star Trek: Judgment Rites continues the voyages of the original crew in new great
adventures. It has great animations and a well thought plot and most of the
crew can be beamed down in away missions. It features the voice of the original Star Trek cast
A great adventure game!.

The First Star Trek reference CD-ROM, released in 1994, used advanced technology
and won many awards due to it. It featured the USS Enterprise Ncc-1701-d. It
contained videos, pictures, animations and a lot of technical information of the
ship. You can explore various sections of the Enterprise, such as the bridge,
the transporter room, the crew quarters, and many more. It is a great CD!

The first adventure game featuring the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation, has
great graphics, excellent cinematics and a long and elaborated plot. It's an adventure game
where you can also fight with the enterprise in a tactic screen. The game is very long. The federation and the
whole galaxy faces a new threat and Picard and it's crew must face it. A great game!.

A complete Star Trek Encyclopedia in CD-ROM, with tons of pictures, videos and information
from all the Star Trek world, including information of the actors, ships, planets, and many more things.
It also has episode guides: the 7 seasons of Star Trek The Next Generation, the first 2 seasons of
Deep Space Nine and the Original series. It's a great source of trek information.

The first Deep Space Nine game, featured the voice of most of the series cast. An intriguing adventure
game, with a great plot and good graphics. The interface is not good, however. It's hard to control.
The game in not compatible with windows 95. There are some arcade parts that are very bothering.
Score:
by Simon & Schuster
A Star Trek game which tells the story of a klingon family seeking for revenge in their quest for honor.
It has full motion quality video and it was directed by Jonathan Frakes. It was stared by Robert O'Reilly.
The plot is very poor and the acting in not good either. It's an interactive adventure,
but it's interactivity is very low. The game is very short and easy. It comes with a program that teaches to speak
some Klingon.

Star Trek: Generations is based on the movie of the same name, and is the first
Star Trek game in a 3D environment. The 3D engine is very poor and unfriendly. It is an adventure game,
where you had to chase Soran to prevent the destruction of many solar systems. In every mission,
you beam down with a different character each time. You can also fight with the Enterprise in a tactical
display. It had great videos. One of the worse things of the game is that you can't save while being in a mission.
Not a very good game after all.

A new full motion video game, featuring John de Lancie as Q. You are cadet
Furlong, and you must go back in time to save your father from the borg in
Wolf 359. The story is good and the acting is great. It comes with the picard
dossier, a small encyclopedia about the borg. It's a good game, though the
interactivity is still low.

The first Star Trek simulation game. You can choose a great variety of ships
to flight with. You are a cadet and you must pass different missions and help your crew
to graduate from Starfleet Academy. It comes with a lot of videos. The acting and the graphics from the
simulator are not very good. Captain kirk, Sulu and Chekov guide you in the academy.
A mission disk, Chekov's lost missions has been released.

Designed to replace the Omnipedia, the Star Trek Encyclopedia is a complete and up to date
database of the Star Trek universe. It comes in four CD's. It comes with a lot of videos, pictures and information,
and the trailers of all The Next Generation episodes and the first 5 seasons of Deep Space Nine. It's a great reference work.

A new Star Trek CD, Captain's chair puts you in the bridge of 5 Star Trek ships.
All of them have been recreated using 3D modeling technology. You can activate
phasers consoles and more things. You can visit the bridge of the Uss Enterprise Ncc-1701,
Uss Enterprise Ncc-1701-d, Uss Enterprise Ncc-1701-e, the Uss Defiant Nx-74205 and the Uss Voyager
Ncc-74656. There is also a hidden bridge. A cool CD.

A Star Trek trivia game hosted by John De Lancie as Q. It has a lot of kinds
of trivia games based on the Star Trek series and the films. It has got videos
pictures and audio clips.

A Star Trek pinball game, with good graphics and sound effects. It offers three pinball tables.
You have also a multiplayer option. But in general, the game is not very good.

A PC game which was intended to be the sequel to Star Trek: First Contact, seemed to have
a good plot. The production of this game has been stopped and it's possible that
it will never be released.

At last, a Star Trek adventure game worth of it's name. Star Trek Secret of Vulcan Fury
has digital graphics which are really outstanding. It contains 6 interactive episodes
written by DC Fontana. It is a very promising game.
by Interplay
A new Star Trek simulation game which takes place in the klingon empire.
You are instructed by General Chang played by Christopher Plummer and
Chancellor Gorkon, played by David Warner. It's placed before the sixth
Star Trek movie. You are a klingon Cadet learning to be a warrior. It seems it will be
a great game
by Microprose
A great Star Trek 3D game set in the klingon empire in the times of Star Trek: The Next
Generation. It has impressive graphics and special effects.
It uses the Unreal 3D engine which is great. It seems a very good game.
by Microprose
A real time strategy game where you can choose to control the Federation, the
Klingon Empire, the Romulan Empire, the Cardassians and the Ferengis to try to
control the galaxy. You have to manage your planets, build fleets to defense your empire or to attack,
send diplomatic missions, and many other things. There are also space battles and it has a multiplayer option.
It's a very complete game. The borgs may appear to ruin your day too.
by Interplay
A real time Star Trek strategy game, where space battles are carefully
reproduced. It will be a thinking game, not a fast one. It has a 3D interface and
a "Dynamic Universe". The missions are never the same. It promises to be a great game.
by Simon & Schuster
A new CD where you can design starships for Starfleet. Then the ships
are sent to missions and they are commanded by a crew in different scenarios
to see if the ship works. It is amazing!!
