Star Trek: The Next Generation - The Transinium Challenge

Released in 1989 for DOS and Mac, The Transinium Challenge is a classic TNG-era adventure game with a wholesome dose of techno-babble. You guide Picard and the crew through an investigation involving a rare mineral and mysterious sabotage. The interface is simple, but the tone nails that early TNG optimism — full of diplomacy, data analysis, and just enough moral lessons to make you feel enlightened. It’s short, sweet, and surprisingly fun, like a lost Season 1 episode where everyone’s uniforms still have those awkward collars.
