Curious, I fired it up. Not surprisingly, it still needs to run in the old Classic environment (on the Mac), but it works just fine -- not a glitch, not a snag! Sound and video still working without any skips or delays. I encountered a slight delay in moving the mouse around the screen during the space combat scenes, but that just might be my own fault, being out of practice. (I used to be able to blow four Romulan ships out of the sky in under five minutes! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> )<br /><br />Okay, so maybe the game looks seriously outdated considering the snazzy graphics we've got going these days. Also, the game forced me to revert back to "256 colors" mode when it opened. But considering that the program is <b>over ten years old</b>, I'd say that it's aged pretty damn well! I just may have to go through all those old scenarios again to see how well I remember all the little goodies.<br /><br />Anyone else still have this game loaded on their drive? Maybe even playing it again once in a while? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>PsyLiam</b> <br /><small>Member # 73</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2003,9,25,10,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">October 25, 2003</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:49 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I do have it upstairs, along with Judgement Rites.

I tried loading it a couple of years ago, IIRC, but I don't think it worked for some reason. I loaded from the CD, and laughed as I recalled how it took something like an hour to install that onto the computer when I'd first installed from the floppies. Ah, the good ole days.<br /><br />In any case, though, I've got you beat . . . I recently discovered Commodore 64 emulators for the PC, and ended up finding the old C64 Trek game I used to play when I was little . . . a lot. The disk, "Star Trek: Evolution", came with three versions of the exact same game. Only the "Senior" version didn't suck, and actually looked decent (for a C64). It was just one of those old-fashioned Trek games kinda like vtrek (www.gamesdomain.com/directd/2052.html), where you have X long to destroy X dozen Klingon ships.<br /><br />Come to think of it, I have no idea why I played it. I've always hated those games. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Aya</b> <br /><small>Member # 1148</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2003,10,14,3,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 14, 2003</span> <span class="timeformat-0">03:18 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> I downloaded it from a freeware/abandonware site the other day and love it.
