I can't get two items to work together. In the second mission, when you're supposed to use the phaser on the welder in order to charge it, it'll simply select the welder without charging it. That is to say, I hit the use button and then select the phaser from the inventory, then I open the inventory back up and hit the welder icon, but instead of using the phaser with the welder, I'm just using the welder itself.

This is especially frustrating because when I was 10, I had no problem navigating this game from start to finish in a matter of hours. Now I can't get past the first level. at first I thought I was having some kind of compatibility/bug issue, but since everyone on here seems to be able to play the game without any major problems, I realize that I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone tell me what insignificant, idiotic, simple thing I've forgotten to do?

I know I'm WAY overdue, but you need to select YOUR phaser, not those junk phasers lying on the ground. They don't have any batteries. If it's not the problem, I don't know anything else.

I need help fighting the two enemy ships in level 4 Another Fine Mess. Anyone know any cheats or tips?

This game actually made me appreciate the original series. This is about as close as you can get to brand new episodes of the show. The adventure elements are very well done and the game does a good job of retaining the feel of the show. I liked the space combat too even though it's kind of a pain. I can't imagine a real captain fighting like I did. I'd fly in circles full speed until I finally could fire on the enemy.

http://home.flash.net/~rayearle/Sfiles/StrTrk25.html first paragraph gives an excellent tip. Basically when you are chasing near or playing "chicken" with an enemy, press both left & right mouse buttons to fire both laser & torpedos. Once fired immediately hit the D key. This pauses the game, brings up Scottie's damage-control GUI menu which blocks your view... however the laser & torpedos recharge. Just hit ESC key and fire both guns again! and repeat by hitting the D key to recharge your guns.

If you chose one of Scottie's damage-control icons, then your mouse resets to the top-left of the screen. But if you press ESC then your mouse pointer stays at exactly where it was previously. This is useful for bombarding, rapid firing at enemy ships.

Another tip is to press the V key to maximise your view. Plus your turning speed is increased because your mouse pointer is further away from the centre of the screen.

Remember the S & W keys to activate shields & weapons. Remember the INS & DEL keys to roll left & right (and this increases turning speed too).

Scottie always gives names of the damage control icons such as "Shields repaired", "Lasers repaired", "Torpedos repaired", "Sensors repaired", "Bridge repaired", but Scottie never seems to give names of the last two icons... so I don't know their names. But it looks like ships lower body.. and warp drives...

Wow, I love this old game and haven't been able to play it since my parents purchased Interplay's gaming cd with tons of other games on it as well. I still have the original 'cheat' book that came with it, complete with pages of in depth info that does not currently exsist on this site. I have made queries about uploading as I would love to share it with the trekkie community on here, so please let me know how and if I can do so. It would really contribute to the manuel and walk through that are already available on abandonia.

I had never really seen an episode of the original Star Trek before I bought this game and wow, I was blown away by it. These two games (25th and Judgement Rites) were really what adventure games should have been all about: real logical thinking to solve puzzles instead of trying to guess the singular solution the developer had in mind.

It's really amazing - different crew members can let you have different solutions and you can go for the easy solution at the expense of dropping in rating or you can really try to do everything the right way.

Final Unity later did a similar thing - it's obvious that they tried to mirror these two games (including combat - which was poor in all three games).

I wish we had more adventure games like these, to be honest. Having said that, they're too short if you ask me.

I've set Dosbox to use Soundblaster 2 audio, and I've tried PC speaker and SB Pro 2...

No audio.

What am I doing wrong?

Yes, my audio works fine. Running Windows 7 64 bit... could that be an issue?

DOH...

checking "activate sound" in D-Fend Reloaded might just possibly help...

I don't know if anyone checks this anymore, but here goes.

In the second mission, you are supposed to be able to use one inventory item on the other (the phaser on the welder). Problem is, I can't use ANY inventory items on any other items.

So if I wanted to use the tricorder on the welder, I can't.

I didn't have this problem way back when, but i have it now on two different machines (both running XP).

I've tried doing F11 to slow down the CPU, but nothing works. I've scowered the internet looking for an answer to this, but all i find is the same walkthough that says "use **** on ****".

Anyone have any idea?
