Star Trek Judgment Rites Playthrough 1 : Federation (1 of 4)

Join Captain Kirk and company in Star Trek Judgment Rites, an exciting adventure game from Interplay (1993)!

This game, the immediate sequel to Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, constitute the 'unofficial' fourth season, according to the game manual. Two versions of this game were released, the first on floppy disk, and the second on CD with full voice acting from the cast of Star Trek. These two games mark the last time the cast portrayed their original Star Trek characters together. Judgment Rites features the last time DeForrest Kelley ever portrayed Dr. Leonard 'Bones' McCoy.

The game is episodic in nature, broken into eight 'missions', or episodes. In Star Trek Judgment Rites, some are independent of each other, but others constitute an over-arching story 'arc', with the last two missions back-to-back as a two-part episode. The whole thing has great production values for its time, at the height of this style of graphical 'adventure' game, and the voice acting from the cast really makes it slick and memorable. It really feels like a season of Star Trek, complete with Shatner totally phoning it in.

I tried to do these episodes as expeditiously as possible while elaborating on most of the reasonings behind the actions. The game has much more content than is shown, and much more dialogue.

Add &fmt=18 for high quality.

How do you fight the battles? There is no radar or anything!

@HardWarUK

...do you see the round blue circle just below the viewscreen? The one with the range circles and the multi-colored dots on it and looks suspiciously like a radar?

As much as I don't wanna be "that guy" who you see asking this all the time, how on Earth did you get this running so well? Best I've ever managed is a brief and extremely choppy run with DOSbox.

[L1011Widebody]

I just ran it in DOSBox 0.72. It runs great. Records great too.

I played this game wen I was little. I couldn't get pass the force field parts. I'm 18 now and I want to play it again, how do you play an old game like that on a laptop? (The version of the game I have is the CD version)

[tiberiius]

this game is as good as i remember it. i had the multi 3.5 inch disks version, it didn't have the voice overs, which i can see was a big miss.

i think this must be the first game that showed me the concept of lead-ahead when firing.

@DrBurdock lol i feel the same way

@MrMedal77 No D;oh is when he mistakes a mistake, breaks something, etc. DUH is when he is just so dumb he doesn't get it - that was me with that Radar thing! :)

Gaah, I had a hard time making this run, even in DOSBox it was giving me problems. I finally got it though. Yay!  =D

I'm alternating between playing Freelancer and Stronghold right now though, once I finish one of them I'll play Star Trek. Looks like fun.
