Star Trek

This is an opportunity for all Trekkies to fight the Klingon fleet in the privacy of their own home. After an impressive view of the Enterprise, we are welcomed aboard by the voice of your logical, long-eared friend, Spock.

Commanding from the bridge of the Enterprise, you have sight of three screens, giving you an overall impression of what you've got to hit 'em with.

The top left hand screen displays score, shields, photon and warp - top right shows radar scanner and lower screen 3D viewer.

Control of all weapons and warp drive is either by joystick or keyboard, as is movement of the ship. You must bear in mind not to miss the amount of photon torpedoes, energy shield or warp left on the top left hand screen, while you're blasting away at all and sundry. Points are awarded for Klingons, anti-matter saucers, Nomads and used and unused starbases. As each sector number increases, so certain multiplying factors increase your score.

This is a fast response game that will keep you interested.
