Star Trek: The Motion Picture but not.

This game came out when the Arcade Star Trek Strategic Operations Simulator produced by Sega was still popular in the Arcade. It would have been very cool to have a true vector graphic game like this at home but alas it was not to be so.

This is a game that you travel from sector to sector fighting Romulans and Klingons (unfortunately they really do not resemble either Romulan nor Klingon ship that you might have seen in the any of the series. That being said they for the time looked pretty good. The sounds also was nothing that you would be able to pick out from anything Star Trek but they was crisp and clear and did give showing as far as sounds you might here in a space battle. The game also started with a very short musical intro (non Trek)

As you travel from sector to sector you would loose energy sustained in battle you would have at your disposal a Starbase in which to refuel. You have a laser gauge that that needs replenished here as well.

There are nine sectors when you reach the ninth sector you will have to battle a Klingon Mother ship (no such thing in the world of Star Trek) but nonetheless you have to score a direct hit on the nose to destroy her! For those of you who grow tired of battle (coward ;) ) you may lock onto a black hole and go directly to Sector nine.

With all of the shortcomings as far as being faithful to Star Trek this was still a good fun Shoot'em up.
