Star Trek: 25th Anniversary Review 1: For all those Trekkies out there - this is YOUR game! I've always liked Star Trek (especially the original series) and I got VERY happy when I was able to get my hands on this one. A solid adventure with that good old Star Trek-Humor in it. You have to solve several missions, do some space-fighting, everything you could expect - it's there! Ever wanted to command Spock around? Or Bones, Scotty, Chekov...? Or one of those guys in red who got killed almost everytime they showed up in the old series? And there is a good chance that exactly THIS happens to them even under YOUR command! You NEED the map - it's the starmap and without it you cannot navigate from mission to mission.



Review 2: One of the best Star Trek adventures ever produced, 25th Anniversary has it all: excellent plot (in each of the game's "episodes"), good puzzles (including multiple solutions that may not yield optimal 100% score), and great graphics. You control Captain James T. Kirk and his crew as they explore the universe. The only downside in this game is the combat, which is frustrating for us non-action gamers but thankfully can be won at "easy" setting. Highly recommended. Note: The download here is the floppy version. Interplay later released enhanced CD version of the game which features full voice acting from actual cast members.



Review 3: Most Star Trek games were total failures. Fortunately, this is not one such game. Star Trek: 25th Anniversary is not just a good, but excellent game that wonderfully combines elements of an adventure, space simulation and action in one. It was made to celebrate 25 years since the first episode was shown on TV and it offers you a chance to see how it is to be Captain Kirk and how it feels to be in charge of one of the most famous starships ever made – the Enterprise! The game is made of several episodes, each with its own goals, which create one full, great story. While on Enterprise, you will have full control over the ship (raising and lowering the shields, arming and firing weapons, repairs, navigation...) and this part feels like a real simulation. Once you teleport to the planet surface the adventure begins. This is when ST:25th A becomes a standard point-and-click adventure with action elements in case you get attacked. The graphics in the game are far from spectacular but aren’t too bad either. The interface is easy to use BUT it sure would help if the icons were captioned. You will need some time to find out and memorize what does each icon do and how to get to it. This is definitely one game that you should play and complete. It is very fun, especially since the early game is quite easy – just enough to make you addicted! Recommended!
