Star Trek: The Rebel Universe - Atari ST - Unboxing, Comparison, Playthrough [Real Hardware]

This game was my first experience of 16bit computing around 87. I thought this game was incredible back in the day and immediately upgraded to an ST from an Acorn Electron

"You've not experienced the original Star Trek until you've seen it in black and white!" Klingon proverb. This looks like one hell of a game!

How many ears does Captain Kirk have? 3 - his right ear, his left ear and his final frontier.

They were working on a Spectrum port too but never got it finished other than a few screanshots in magazines.

Great game on the ST had a demo of it before it came out and it was a thing to show off to your C64 mates

My dad bought the IBM PC port of this when I was about 8. I remember being really confused that the 4-color CGA graphics didn't look anywhere near as good as the Atari screenshots on the back of the disk sleeve! Edit -- got to the section of the video about the PC port, and wow, it had 16-color EGA? I wish I could have experienced that back in the day. Our IBM XT had an EGA array but we could never get more than CGA colors out of this game.

Oh wow. This was a big deal for Star Trek fans at the time. I didn't realise there was a PD clone release for the Amiga, I also didn't realise it got ported to the PC and C64 as well.

you gotta be kidding?? The coolest Star Trek game ever... buried in the dungeon of unknown Atari ST games (:

I think I still have my 520ST and 1040ST in a closet somewhere.
