While at CES on Saturday, I stopped by the Interplay exhibit and picked up a
advertisement for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, the next in the Interplay's
excellent ST series.  I watched the demo...wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!

The advertisement read as follows:

-----------------

Product Features:

Space exploration, combat and strategic planning are combined with state-of-
the-art graphics, sound effects and character interaction for an experience
of unmatched intensity and excitement.

A complex computer intelligence system with adjustable skill levels and 
aliens that behave and react defensively depending on their experience level
and the situation.

Realistic and highly detailed battle graphics depicting strategic analysis,
weapons lock and target I.D.  A rich storyline in which the player interacts
with other Starfleet Cadets to make decisions, command missions, and delegate
tasks.

Instruction and feed-back from a host of unique professors, including Captain
James T. Kirk(TM) himself.

Over 30 original missions based on the STAR TREK lore.  Features encounters
and events such as the fabled Kobayashi-Maru Scenario.

Several unique career paths to graduation which unfold as the player progresses
through the Academy.

Dozens of alien spacecraft, more that 4 different bridges simulated and a 
game finale featuring the Starship Enterprise(TM) herself!

.........

"For all legends there is a beginning.  For Captain James T. Kirk, that 
beginning was Starfleet Academy.  Now, with the completion of the Starship
Enterprise's epic five-year mission, Captain Kirk returns to Stafleet's famous
halls to guide you in your journey to the stars."

"Enter Starfleet Academy and experience the ultimate proving grounds for 
Starfleet officers.  Study the tactics and theories of star travel.  Relive
the most challenging and hazardous alien encounters in Starfleet's history
including the Kobayashi-Maru Scenario.  Place yourself and your classmates
into the heart of battle where command and teamwork are more than just words
in a textbook."

"It's the challenge of a lifetime where you'll work, study and live under the
guidance of the most legendary Starship Captain ever...James T. Kirk."

"Warping its way to store shelves in the Summer of '94!"


Looks great everybody!!!
