Latest Games Reviewed: Super Star Trek 1978 meets 25th Anniversary

Author: Manu - Published: 25 January 2023, 10:12 am

Super Star Trek 1978 meets 25th Anniversary is a fangame/remake of the famous text-only strategy game Super Star Trek, improved with the graphics of Star Trek: 25th Anniversary.

Super Star Trek is an early example of a turn-based sci-fi strategy wargame, entirely played by issuing text commands. The game became famous when the code was published in the 1978 book BASIC COMPUTER GAMES. Many versions exist, but in this case, the inspiration was the original 1978 code. You control the starship Enterprise and have to destroy the invading Klingon fleet before it's too late. You will have to manage the energy carefully and split it between phasers, engines, and shields; remember to use the limited torpedoes properly (you only have 10); when the ship is too damaged or the energy is almost depleted, you must find a starbase in one of the sectors of the quadrant.
