Just like it says – Galaxy Trek Review

This is a well done update to the classic trek game, it succeeds keeping the old gameplay mechanics while updating the interface for the iPhone. Very nicely done. It does lack a little bit of the feel of the old game in certain ways. In the days of DOS command lines before Macintosh ever existed, there was a certain thrill to the tedious operation of the older game - having to issue commands even to view the sector - long range scan, short range scan like listing files in a directory just felt like being an expert operator. A particular example was the manual torpedo launch in the original that required you to specify the angle and the spread of your photon torpedoes. Success depended largely on your ability to properly estimate the angles, so your expertise and intelligence were - or seemed to be at the time - huge factors in success. In this version that is simulate by randomness in the torpedo launch. There is still call for skill and expertise in this version. It seems that if you want a high score, you need to move at a faster warp factor. Doing so requires more energy, and careful balance and usage of shields and lasers, minimizing pit stops at stations. It would be nice if those high scores were saved in the game center to compare against others! Please add that feature and I will give you six stars!
