January, 2015 Game of the Month: Super Star Trek – Entry 1 – Riding the Learning Curve

Welcome to Space Game Junkie’s first ever game of the month, 1978’s Super Star Trek! A lot of people have asked me to cover this game for a while, so I figured what better game to begin the Game of the Month series. Each month I’ll do a series of videos covering the game, along with Q&As (if possible, I’ve been trying to track down folks for this one and it’s been no joy so far) and more! I’ve not played this game in ages, so I had to refer to the manual while playing (which sadly the video picked up on, sorry about that). That said, even thirty plus years later, this game is still damned compelling, and one can see the foundation it helped lay for future tactical space games that followed. For this series, I played the game version from Tom Almy’s great site. I hope you enjoy this first video of me flailing about with the game, and thank you for watching.
