Everybody loves Stir Tret because it's, *eB, so darned loveable. Good news then that an Amiga game, based on the voyages ol our chums on the Enterprise, is warp nine-ing its way towards these shores even as we speak (which should mean ifl be here by about tea time). Electronic Arts will be doing the publishing bit, but it's Calitomian coders Interplay (the people behind Battiechess, The Bard’s Tale series and the forthcoming Castles] who've taken care of developing the game. Details are about as forthcoming as a Klingon peace mission, but we're given to understand that Star Trek: the 25th Anniversary will draw heavily from the fab TV show (as opposed to the siightly less than fab movies). An EA spokeswoman offered: Ts a giant 3D galactic exploration game with plenty of role playing elements to it's Star Trek, seen by many as the perfect subject for a game, has not had a good time of it on the Amiga. Some years ago Telecomsoft [better known by the names of their labels, Firebird and Rainbird] came up with a long overdue game for the ST - it was okayish, but never deemed good enough to be ported across to the Amiga. Then there are the PD versions, of course - oodles of them have appeared, at various different times, usually with a ship management theme. Some are good (in fact some are great) but there's not really been enough to them to do justice to the, well, ‘legend,’ that is Star Trek. Chances are. then, that thiill be the first version to be realty worth waiting for - and it shouldn't take too long a wait either. Current reports have it that itll be docking sometime in December.
