Star Trek V: The Final Frontier

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier takes the least-loved movie in the franchise and turns it into a game — which is bold, maybe even illogical. Released in 1989 for DOS, it tries to expand on the film’s plot, letting you explore, talk, and occasionally blast things into space dust. Unfortunately, it suffers from “movie tie-in syndrome”: the ambition is there, but the execution feels like it was done at warp factor 1. Still, it’s a curious artifact for Trekkies who enjoy seeing how much charisma Shatner’s likeness can carry in 16 colors.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier review

Zero Magazine issue 4 (1990) - "The worst thing is the difficulty. It took me ages to get through the wormhole thing and when I did do it, the Enterprise was so smashed up it was naff all use for anything. Perhaps extreme perseverance is what's needed. Despite reservations about the way it's put together. I'm pretty impressed. Star Trek V in visually ace and, if you're prepared to sick with it, entertaining. All it needs is a digitised "psshhqueak" when you enter the bridge, to make it perfect."
