Over at LJ, Roushimsx has been talking about the Star Trek: 25th Anniversary game, and it's a handy guide to a sometimes forgotten title.

It's noted: "In 1992, missing the [date of the actual] anniversary, we got Interplay's Star Trek 25th Anniversary for PC, Mac, and Amiga. Unlike Ultra's crummy NES game, it was a point and click adventure game AND a bridge simulator. A year later, they released a CD-ROM version featuring a new intro, full speech for every line of dialog (with the original actors playing themselves!), and an extended final mission."

What's it like? "It's a great adventure game with lots of replayability, marred by SNK-boss syndrome at the very end. The disk version is easy as pie to get online (don't forget to configure the sound before you start playing unless you like PC Speaker blips and bloops) and the CD-ROM version is like $10-$20 on eBay if you want to play the talkie version. While it may be possible to get it running in WinXP, just run DOSbox like a real (wo?)man and play it proper."
