It’s episodic, just released all at once. This episode we check out Star Trek: Judgment Rites from Interplay. This is one of the games that best represents the heights that Star Trek can achieve on a philosophical level.

The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth. How well do Star Trek games reflect the goals and ideals of the Star Trek series put forward by Gene Roddenberry? This episode we look at how these have been (or in one case hasn’t been) implemented into video games over the years. Have any other ideas for how these philosophies could be added into games?
