Love it Love this game. I had this back in the day, bought it in 1990. Played it a heckuva lot. Lot of fond memories. After beating the game, I would typically just play the BOP Simulator. As a trek fan, I always imagined what it would be like to be aboard a starship for a battle. This is as close as you got back then. I eventually got pretty good at the BOP simulator, I could beat all BOP's with ease. So I would start off with a handicap, I'd let the BOP's hit me several times so that I started off damaged, and then see if I could still win the game. I'm a bit rusty now, it took me 4 tries to beat all 3 BOP's this time. Ah well, it's still a lot of fun! I've never come across another good starship battle simulator for Star Trek. Anyone played any good ones? I've seen screenshots on a few Trek games, but haven't heard of any Trek games that had really good starship combat simulators. This version from 1989 is the best I have played. |

This game is indeed nearly impossible to win. I needed to slow DOSBox down to 500 cycles to navigate the wormhole, which makes the graphics WAY slow.  I simply can't react fast enough otherwise, and I've yet to escape the minefield. This is a rogue-like game (You can't save the game) so I must replay everything before the minefield. (Who is that good?)

This might be the very cause of the problems you described. Try booting your machine from a MS-DOS boot disk and then running the game. |

ST5: impossible to start!!! :( Hi guys! I am really happy I found this game. Unlikely, I can't start it on my Mac: I downloaded the latest dosbox version. When I start the game, it asks me the video card (ok) and then the level. At this point, whatever I choose, this message appears: "Please instert 5.25 Disk #3 or 3.5 Disk #3. Hit any key to continue..." and I can't go on...!!!!! What can I do? Thanks and the best regards Herger |

johncharles1971: The same can be done using the [autoexec] section in the config file. Dosraider: Well, the NTFS file system _does_ allow 255 character paths already... Where the path you wrote is "only" 162 chars long. (that said, abbreviations rule - F:\Dosgames\shorted\STFinal\) |
