Ok so my first ever Star Trek game is bound to hold fond memories and after all these years it's fair to say I'm looking back on the past with rose tinted glasses. Saying that however I believe that for it's time "A Final Unity" was a great game. The story behind the game is simple enough, the Romulans are up to no good and you have to figure out what's going on. Each mission begins with your away team beaming down onto a planet and you progress by solving a number of puzzles until you reach the final goal. From time to time a baddie will turn up and you have no choice but to raise shields and arm phasers. Ship to ship combat was always my faveourite part and although it nothing compared to what you can do on modern games it was still a lot of fun. Watching your little tactical display Enterprise made up of two dozen polygons was thrilling stuff way back when. When judged by the standards of the time this game deserves high marks. It won't win and awards these days but it still has a place on my shelf, just a shame I can't get it to run any more. |
