This game was the easiest. No challenge at all.

I only played the arcade version.  I never saw the Apple2 version of this game until now. I remember the old combat simulator coded down in Texas, which this is loosely based off of. That was a teletype game ported to Apple and Bell and Howell.

Haha I remember this game. Awesome.

The third game I don't remember too much about, other than it was part of the Best Times Set. I do remember seeing decent graphics, and you had 3 weapons: Photon Torpedoes, Phasers, and the Fusion Bomb. You could get into a variety of different encounters in space, and you had to choose what to do from like 6 different commands such as WARP, TORPEDO, FUSION, PHASER, SHIELDS, IIRC.

The second game was also turn based, but didn't have a grid persay. You had 2000 units of energy in which you could allocate to either shields or fire phasers. Stars were on each part of the map, and you had different systems of your ship that could be damaged in battle, such as long and short range sensors, warp engines, and weapons systems. There were like 4 Conditions your ship could be in: Red (Klingons), Yellow (low energy), Green (good), or Docked (Starbase). It had 8 directions as well.

You know, I remember like 4 different Star Trek Games on the Apple 2 alone. Two of them I think were part of a set of games called "The Best of Times" or something like that. I remember one of them was turn-based, and Halley's comet would always come every 76 turns and destroy everything and heal your ship. There were photon torpedoes, klingons, phasers, impulse engines, warp drive, star bases, and 8 directions. It was on a grid too.

Looks like a decent translation. I had the VIC-20 version back in the day, which played much the same but was not quite as nice looking as the Apple II's version.
