Hi there!

 

Interplaying Star Trek 25th Anniversary (1992):

While the first three entries in this series were all about Interplays great RPGs, we see them utilizing their Star Trek license in totally different genres now. ST25A is actually a hybrid between a Space Combat Simulator and an Adventure game.

 

They were totally covering the look, feel and flow of the classic Star Trek series here, presenting 6 brandnew epsiodes you can play through with the original crew.

 

You'd usually start out in space, discovering some phenomenon somehwere in the galaxy, do some space fighting to get there and then beam down a planet and examine it. Each episode happens to be a little adventure game sequence of 6-8 screens.

 

I've been playing one and a half episode tonight already, spending almost an hour configuring DOSBox instead of playing. It's been a bit tricky, since I didn't know how to mount a CD-ROM drive properly. Accessing the CD to retrieve all the speech samples still seems to have occasional hickups, so I'm thinking of trying to find a CD crack tomorrow.

 

Version Played: Original CD ROM, from "Star Trek Federation Compilation".

How to Run: A bit tricky to get there, but it's running in DOSBox on 6000 cycles.

IP Status: Paramount reently started releasing Star Trek games on their own.

 

Greetings,

Manuel
