If you want to hold the vast Star Trek galaxy in your hands, you couldnt do any harm by purchasing a copy of Star Trek BOF. The game follows the same format of all the strategy space simulations on the market but this one has much depth and detail, so much infact that I would need hours to talk about it all! Star Trek BOF was made by the creators of Civilisation II and Orion II and so you can expect a good quality product for your money. The game starts with the options you want to turn on in the game itself, for example, you may want to involve lots of minor alien species in the game or you can turn them off to make the game a little less ...  Read the complete review

I continued playing it a lot for months, until I thought I had beaten all aspects of the game. But surprise surprise, a few months later I picked it up and started to play again nad i'm still playing it now. Its slimply that good a game! However, I can't end there. The game itself is a mixture of strategy and action. The idea is to colonise all the galaxy with a race of your choice. Or (yes there are two ways to win) you can play on vendetta mode which means you have to eliminate two other ...  Read the complete review

Now this is how an empire-building game should be made, while concentrating on the empire rather than the combat you control how your planets are managed and how to expand your reach by either negotiation, combat or stealth. Each of the five empires (Federation, Ferengi, Cardassian, Klingon and Romulan) have their own unique flavours with different events having either positive or negative affects on your populations morale depending on which empire you are playing as. For example the Federation are pacifists prefering peace treaties to warfare and so if you make peace with another race your morale will increase across the empire while declaring war will cause ...  Read the complete review
