It's like being inside new episodes of Kirk-era Star Trek. You get the original cast doing voices, an unexpected visit from a great character, tropes from the show like Spock and McCoy arguing... It's just fun if you're a fan of the show. If you're not a big Trek fan, it's still a good adventure game with light space combat mixed in. The point&click adventuring is good and the puzzles offer enough challenge while mostly being reasonably intuitive to solve. The space combat is basic, but enjoyable for the most part. A pleasant surprise was there's some branching in the missions, allowing for some different solutions and paths. I never played this "back in the day", so I can say this still plays well today without nostalgia for the original Some negatives: - The UI is a tad clunky. Once you get used to it it's not bad at all, but you may need to read the manual a bit at first - The ending of the game hikes the difficult waaaaay up (or maybe I was just bad at it) but you won't miss much even if you don't beat it.
