Star Trek™: Judgment Rites
Developer Interplay Entertainment Corp.
Star Trek: Judgment Rites is a computer game first produced by Interplay Productions in 1993, featuring the original cast of the classic Star Trek in a series of new adventures, including one featuring Trelane, the omnipotent child from the original episode "The Squire of Gothos". Judgment Rites uses the same MS-DOS game engine as the earlier Star Trek: 25th Anniversary; however, it had sharper graphics and sound,… From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

The controls are awkward. Depending on the function of the cursor, you can only move it to certain areas around the screen. Using the star map requires use of the manual, otherwise you might end up in the wrong part of the galaxy and have to fight a hostile race.

Just as with Star Trek 25th Anniversary, I remember playing this game on my old 486 DX2 back in the day. This game STILL holds its fun. All of the original cast member voices are in this version. If you are a fan of TOS then you should pick this up.

Fun trip down memory lane for anyone who either played this in the '90s or is a fan of Classic Trek. Puzzles are enjoyable, employing actual logic to solve as opposed to most adventure-genre games. The stories are more enjoyable than many actual episodes of TNG, and the dialogue spoken by the original cast is fantastic. Only drawback is that sometimes you aren't sure what objects in the environment to click on …

If you enjoy the discussions and banter of the TOS crew then this is an easy game to recommend. There is lots of well-written dialogue, it's fully voiced by the original cast, the mission plots are interesting, and the puzzles are (mostly) satisfying to solve. This game is very similar to the previous game (Star Trek: 25th Anniversary) but features the other cast members more often, and the space combat sections …

Star Trek: Judgment Rites is a classic narrative adventure that captures the exploratory and philosophical character of Star Trek: The Original Series far better than its aging technology might initially suggest. Developed and published by Interplay Entertainment Corp., it puts players in command of Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise as the crew investigates a sequence of unusual incidents across space. Rather than …

93% of the 44 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Star Trek™: Judgment Rites. The complaint that keeps coming up: outdated graphics. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Together with 25th Anniversary, Judgment Rites sold more than 300,000 copies by April 1994. Computer Gaming World in March 1994 said that "The individual adventures are far more interesting" than that of 25th Anniversary, and liked the "nicely upgraded" graphics. The magazine concluded that although experienced adventurers would finish the game quickly, "it would be a shame for Star Trek fanatics to miss out on Judgment Rites". Charles Ardai said in April 1994 that Judgment Rites "is a better game in any number of ways" than its predecessor, with optional and less combat, more and larger episodes, a unified plot thread, and bigger roles for supporting characters. Judgment Rites was a…

I played this game long ago and still have the original CD stored next to my computer.

I was frustrated and then stopped playing it after multiple attempts. The time passed by and before i…

Yet what they lacked in graphics today, ppl back in those times made up with a good story. That seems the issue with all new games lately. Fear not Steam was cool enough to bring back this gem of a game. And if you like Star Trek, getting this is a no brainer. Shame Steam hasnt gotten a hold of better past gems like Dungeon Keeper, System Shock, Ultimas', etc. But Ill take what I can get. Runs fine on Windows 7.…

Thirty years later it feels like a time capsule especially with all the original cast voicing their characters, especially since so few of them are left. If you are a fan like me, who still wished for more episodes even after watching "Spock's Brain". They made two of these games and they are both great.

neutral · AI labelView post →The quintessential pixelart 90's adventure game, and the last time the entire original cast of Star Trek contributed to Star Trek media. Gameplay is very 90s and doesn't hold your hand, but if you have nostalgia for this type of game, you'll find no better example of it than this.

neutral · AI labelView post →Following the play and story elements of 25th Anniversary, Judgment Rites picks up right where it's prequel left off. Expect more of the brilliant storytelling and dialogue branches for an incredible Star Trek experience. The player should have no trouble transitioning from 25th Anniversary to Judgment Rites as the player interface and controls are practically identical. The original characters are also voiced by their respective voice actors, including the voices of familiar villains.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can verify that I have had no problems playing this game on Windows 10. Fun point an click adventure, with all the main actors from ST:TOS voicing their characters. I had the other Star Trek point-and-click when it first came out (now called Star Trek 25th Anniversary), this is similar with some improved graphics (particularly the cutsceens) and the option to cut out ship-to-ship combat, which some people didn't like but I found fun. Keep in mind, this is a game originally released in 1993,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would give Judgement Rites a slight edge over its previous game, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary, just because it has a little bit better graphics and a little tighter storytelling. Both games are great and I would highly recommend them for any Star Trek fan or fan of point-and-click adventure games. Both games comprise the unofficial 4th & 5th years of the USS Enterprise's 5-year mission.

I had the DosBox Version vor a long time, until I noticed that the game was available on Steam. Of course I got it right away. Like 25th Anniversary, the game is relatively short, but quite difficult. Getting a good rating in all missions requires quite a lot of thinking and probably several attempts.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Star Trek: Judgment Rites is episodic Star Trek point and click adventure game. It is a sequel to Star Trek 25th Anniversary, and the first mission starts where the 25th Anniversary ended. This time around each mission has a implication of a bigger situation happening that you'll deal with in a later episode. One thing I liked that they added in this game, was the option to load your game before it starts a new game. They also gave each some character screen time, so It's not just Kirk, Spock,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Challenging point and click adventure that captures the episodic nature of the television show and provides a satisfying overall story arc. The voice acting is nearly perfect (except Shatner, who sounds like he's rushing through a line-read...) and features DeForrest Kelley's last performance. Replayable for the multiple solutions to each scenario and associated rankings in Starfleet.
