[edit] Game Features

Star Trek:25th Anniversary is the first of the Interplay TOS adventure games. Using an intuitive point and click interface, and featuring both space combat and landing party aspects, it remains one of the best Original Series games to date.

Both a floppy version and a CD-ROM version were released, the latter of which featured the voice talents of William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig playing their original characters!

The game is divided into several seperate episodes, each of which features a space combat and away mission element. During the game, you will discover new races, meet up with an old friend, rescue another Federation Starship, fight in epic battles, and more! As well, there are many different possible ways to complete each mission, some better than others, which gives this game great replayability. At the end of each episode you'll be debriefed and graded on your mission by a Starfleet Admiral.

Although the graphics and sound may pale in comparison to newer games, the stories and gameplay will make Star Trek: 25th Annivesary one game that TOS fans will find hard to put down.
