Judgement Rites (TOS)

FEDERATION: McCoy mentions that "he's not a religious man" at one point. This doesn't seem right, considering his constant mentioning of God. Also, Munroe's voice keeps changing from nasal to regular.

SENTINEL: Not a nit, but the ship that hails you is mentioned in "Starfleet Academy" as being destroyed during a Klingon/Federation battle.

LIGHT AND DARKNESS: Doesn't it seem odd that this Ensign, who seems like an evolution supporter in his earliest scenes, is a religious fanatic?

VOIDS: I wonder if the Savant is related to the creature from "Day of the Dove". Nice to see they remembered Lieutenant Kyle.

Munroe's voice keeps changing? How can you tell- my version has no voices.


By MikeC on Friday, June 11, 1999 - 3:25 pm:

I believe they released a revised version, with voices of the original cast (and William Campbell as Trelane).

That's odd since I bought my copy a couple of months ago (£15 for both TOS games)and it has no voices. 25th anniversary had the voicesintact, but for some reason the only voice I get is Kirk's speech at the beginning (Space....)

This game is definately a step up from the 25th anniversary...you can see the mouths moving...however the makers forgot the exploding Klingon ship and the alien voiceovers in the beginnning of this game...it was in the floppy
disk version...why not the CD ROM version?

I remember buying the revised CD Rom version for $70 dollars a few years back. It came with a collector's disk (featuring interviews from Leonard Nimoy and the Great Bird of the Galaxy himself), "City on the Edge of Forever" on video, and a "Judgment Rights" mission pin. That's the most I've ever spent on a game, and I'll never regret it. The missions are well written, and unlike "25th Anniversary", the game relies on a really cool continuing story arc. If ever you find this game in a bargain bin somewhere, don't pass it up.

I do have a few nits:


What exactly is that geeky Vardane allergic to on the space station? I don't see any plants or animals around (except for that giant special projects beast).

Lt. Kyle seems to have lost his accent.

The people aboard the Compassion were supposedly decedents of Brassicans with a mental disorder of Class 3 or higher, but they appear to be humanoid. When you meet up with the Brassicans in the final mission, they're giant green beings.

Good game. Plenty of replay value here with all sorts of wacky side escapades.

I could do without "Sentinel" (a deathly dull episode that is very easy to screw up) and "Museum Piece" (which isn't as fun as it sounds).


By John A. Lang on Tuesday, July 20, 2004 - 12:09 pm:

Also, when the Enterprise computer talks, Spock's mouth is moving.

>"Sentinel" (a deathly dull episode that is very esy to screw up)

Same goes for "Light and Darkness". And how'd that ensign guy you're forced to bring to the planet ever get into starfleet anyway?


By MikeC on Wednesday, July 21, 2004 - 7:51 am:

Yeah, that's another bad one. The best episode is either the first one or the one with Trelane which has numerous cool things.

Another game I wish they'd re-release for Windows ME & XP
