Star Trek, The Next Generation: A Final Unity
(Spectrum Holobyte, 1995)
At one point, Spectrum Holobyte promised to release
numerous games based on Star Trek : The Next Generation
(which, at the time, was still on the air). Each computer and
game system would have a unique, "interactive episode,"
seperate from the others. Of them all, the best of them was definitely
the "episode" for IBM PC/compatibles, "A
Final Unity."
In this game, you get more power of the Starship
Enterprise than you know how to deal with. You can select
an easier mode, where characters like Worf do the hard stuff
for you (space battles, setting co-ordinates to the next location,
etc.), or you can control all the action yourself! Meanwhile,
you must unearth the secret behind an old artifact, which may
hold unspeakable power! Get the phasers (or serious communication
skills) at the ready, because many other alien races (including
Romulans and Klingons) know of this artifact as well, and are
hot on your trail! The ending is vintage of the best Next Generation
episodes themselves, which, in addition to all the actual cast
voices, makes this a must have game classic for any and all Trekkies!
It may have been a little too DOS compatible, on the eve of the
initial release of Windows 95, and yet its deserved rating --the
highest one possible-- cannot be taken away...
