SimCity 2000
I didn’t touch this one that much. For the most part, it’s a straight port of SimCity 2000 on PC, but completely in Japanese (even with Google Lens, it’s a nightmare to play). On top of that, the joystick moves a cursor and…
F1 Pole Position 64
A racing simulation game about Formula 1. This features real racers and tracks, and a lot of options in terms of customising your car. You can play through a entire Grand Prix (10 laps per race, with qualifiers to improve your start position),…
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy
A game that will be sharing a name with a Star Trek show. Starfleet Academy is sort of a reimagining of Starfleet Academy Bridge Simulator on SNES/32X, as it features the same style of gameplay and some of the same cadets, but with…
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starship Bridge Simulator (32X)
The missions of this are similar to the SNES game. It was made for the Sega 32X add-on for the Mega Drive. The biggest difference for this is the graphics, which look much cleaner and less pixelated and the 3D models have a…
Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starship Bridge Simulator
I was quite impressed by this game. It’s a series of 20 simulations (plus some bonus ones) where you command a team of Starfleet Academy students. The main buttons are used for flying (thankfully you can turn off inverted controls) and weapons, with…
Visual Star Trek
A version of the 1971 Star Trek game that has very little information about it – the only reference to who made it is on Trek Core, where it lists John Saxon followed by a question mark. In terms of major versions of…
Star Trek: Starship Tactical Combat Simulator
This is a very heavy and detailed tactical board game. I barely managed to scrape by with the tutorial scenario, and there are a lot more rules that get introduced afterwards. While it’s not something I look for in board games, the amount…
Star Trek III: Kobayashi Maru
This is part of a pack of three solitaire games in one. I was expecting three very simplistic games, but was very wrong – these games are quite hefty indeed, to the point that I decided they were worth their own article each.…
Star Trek: The Invasion of Klingon Empire
The first heavy wargame set in the Star Trek universe. This game was only released in Japan and has extremely complex rules. There is a list of missions that seem to take inspiration from TV show, visiting planets mentioned in episodes. Where to…
Star Trek 3.5
This is another version of the 1971 Star Trek game. This adds a lot more visualisation, a larger galaxy and more types of areas to encounter. The Enterprise and Klingons now look like ships, and the game displays a list of actions each…
