Starship Bridge Multimedia [Posted on 2002-03-07]
Visit five different starship bridges and you get to press the buttons to launch shuttles, fire weapons, go to warp, land the voyager, and more. Plus examine all the bridge stations and the LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System) screens, plus many hand held items on seats and tables. Examine the exterior of the ships. Plus play three different games on the original Enterprise bridge. Uncover the secret code to unlock a sixth bridge of a klingon ship! (Hints at maxiumdefiant.com) A great addition to any Star Trek Fan's collection.
Most under rated of Star Trek CD's. Could use update. [Posted on 2003-01-21]
I don't know why this one never caught on. It has all the graphics and sounds of all the popular ships. Enterprise the original, the E and the D, the Defiant from DS9 and Voyager. It covers just about everything except the engine rooms which could be done with an updated version. It's literally has just about each sound and graphic from each bridge. It's something I found by accident at a local gaming store. I always thought there was no way they could make a decent package. Seeing the copyright is 97' it's not the most sharpest picture, however the computer graphics from each ship work station make up for it.
Ensign you have the conn. [Posted on 2004-06-13]
I have a ton of Star Trek games but, this is one of the neatests.
You get to go on any of five Star Trek Bridges and push buttons and shoot probes and phasers. The best part is you get to pick up props like phasers and hyprosprase. You even get to open a tricorder. The games mostly free-roaming, actualy it is all free roaming. It's live action to exept for the original enterprise which is cheap 3-D. The only bad part is that you can get bored after your first three days of playing. It's not like you sit there for a month and try to beat it. It is a game to come back to and play every once and a while though. COOLEST STAR TREK GAME EVER. P.S. I hear people buy this game and get disapointed because they can't free roam the whole ship. I do have another game called STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION INTERACTIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL that let's you free-roam every main room on the enterprise-D only. Including Enginering, Ten Foraward, Transportation (like beaming) and even the captains quarters. Check this game out to!
It's fun to poke around the bridge [Posted on 2004-09-30]
Overall I agree with the other reviews. I purchased this "game" when it first came out. It's fun to poke around and play with each station (blow up Voyager? oh my!) The only problem I've had is the E conference lounge access - anybody know how to get in there? I haven't been able to find any hints! Arrgh
Worth Getting [Posted on 2006-07-08]
Captain's Chair is a very interesting look at some of the ships that were on all of the TV series besides Enterprise. Now, I guess because it's called "Captain's Chair", it doesn't have DS9 but it does have the Defiant. Overall, I think that the TNG Interactive Techinal Manual is better when it comes to information and more detal. What this has that I didn't see in the TNG Manual was the interviews with the cast. That's right, when you explore the ships, you can find on the capain's chair a button that will have interviews with George Takei, Michael Dorn and so on. They talk about why they wanted to work on Trek and other things. Every ship has an option a tour that can be given by one of the crew voiced by the real actors, but it's only voice and you don't see them. This is a cool thing to have, just for the videos and tours, but I think the Technical Manual probably had a lot more info.
