It would be nice if Scotty could beam you up when you hit a bad patch, but that is one of the few options not allowed in this full version of the old Star Trek favourite.

If you do something silly, all you get is old pointy ears saying "I am sorry Captain but your order seems illogical - it must be the stress".

There are plenty of stressful moments, flying a starship by the instruments and view on space providd by the scanners, especially when the Klingons are closing in.

I panicked so much, I actually drove the Enterprise into a star - didn't 'alf upset Spock.

A Help function is provided to itemise the numerous orders to the onboard computer - very helpful, I used it a lot.

With practice, I believe you could become quite adept at controlling the ship and perhaps somewhere in the program, there might be a compliment from Spock waiting to get out!

All in all, a competent rendering of a classic game which gives a good impression of how one imagines it would be like, running a starship from the inside.
