It just goes to show that an old idea can still inspire good games. The Klingons are stirring up trouble again and you with your faithful Enterprise crew are called in to sort them out.

The galaxy has supernovas and black-holes, some of the Klingons sport the latest in tractor-beams while Uhura keeps you informed of the news from Starfleet Command. The damage control is nicely done.

Another novel idea is the abandon ship option, a last resort in which you are reprimended for cowardice and placed in command of a suitably weaker ship. You can at least continue where you left off though.

The screen display is neat and pleasing to look at, but the sound is a bit weak, with too much reliance upon the Oric's pre-programmed repertoire.

Oric-Trek is a real time game so there's no agonising over what to do - it's kill or be killed.
