Disk No: 1692 Disk Title: BEGIN a tactical starship simulation PC-SIG Version: S1 Program Title: BEGIN A Tactical Starship Simlation Author Registration: $15.00 Special Requirements: None. This game is a battle simulation matching potential starship commanders against the computer. The candidate can represent any one of four possible nations: the Federation, Klingon, Romulan, or Orion. Several different ship classes with varying armament are available. The simulation is complete including damage, casualty reports (from Dr. McCoy), engine temperatures (from Scotty), phaser recharging times (Chekov), and even the variables involved in navigating large as opposed to small ships (Sulu). A player can command from one to a fleet of nine ships. The degree of difficulty is controled by the size of the opposing fleets, a player can configure the odds in his favor or to the computer's advantage. The computer strategy is quite effective, the novice captain probably will not win in a one on one confrontation. The starship captain has a great deal responsibility in a battle situation and this simulation will truly test a candidate's ability to command.
