thats Star Fleet Battles retro.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Psssh! I'm 35 and I remember games like this. I remember the original "Star Trek" game by Mike Mayfield, although it was technically released before my time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_%28text_game%29

Yep.  Reminds me of the old Star Trek and it's many offspring.

lol

I guess I'm in the minority, but I cannot for the life of me get into the "Good Old Games" mindset to see past the primitive visuals of any of these types of games.  (I know 'retro' is the point here -- plus I'm 39, so I do remember the days of these types of games).  I can't take the plunge on Aurora for the same reason.

I need to write or pay good money for a re-make of Star Fleet I:  The War Begins by Interstel.  To me, the best Star Trek game ever made.  Loved that game on my ST!

I remember Star Fleet I.  I think I might have reviewed it for STart or ANTIC.  But Rules of Engagement I and II were better.

+1 My sentiments exactly. I've tried and tried, even on old games I played on DOS years ago and enjoyed, but they just don't do it for me any more.

Same. 

I played that one quite a bit on my C64.  Loved it.  Had more personality to it than the old ST versions.  I actually managed to get an emulated DOS version running a few years ago but I recall it was difficult to get going.

From what I understand, the sequel had some more depth but there was some real-time facet that was a pain in the ass.

If they ever added these to the GOG library, I'd snatch them up.

Yes... they were so excellent!
