Those are it... Cool. I see some time-wasting ahead for me, as if I
had that much time to waste...
Ok, next one. Another trek game, but more interactive. I believe it
was basically a battle, ie. a Klingon
showed up, and you talked until someone started shooting. It was more
like the adventure games that
came later, 'fire phasers', etc. The source was protected, so you could
not list it, and figure out how to win.
Anyone remember that one?
