Star Trek: Judgment Rites

Star Trek: Judgment Rites is a classic point-and-click adventure game for MS-DOS that places the player in command of the USS Enterprise during the era of Star Trek: The Original Series. Released in 1993 by Interplay Productions, the game serves as a direct sequel to Star Trek: 25th Anniversary and faithfully recreates the look, tone, and narrative style of the iconic television series.

Players assume the role of Captain James T. Kirk and work closely with key members of the crew, including Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov. The game features an episodic structure, with each mission presenting a self-contained story that blends exploration, dialogue-driven problem solving, and occasional ship-to-ship combat. Success depends on logical reasoning, careful observation, and selecting the appropriate crew members for each task.

One of the game’s most notable features is its authentic presentation, including digitized voice acting by much of the original television cast. Combined with atmospheric music, detailed pixel art, and narrative choices consistent with Star Trek canon, Judgment Rites delivers an experience that appeals both to long-time fans of the franchise and to enthusiasts of classic adventure games.
