Developed by SEGA, Star Trek arrived on the Atari 2600 as a simulation game. Depending on the region, you may also know it as Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator. It blends simulation and action elements.
Among the 13 2600 simulation games in our database, it ranks #9 by legacy score.
It is part of the Star Trek series; on the 2600 you can also try Stellar Track. The series also appears on other systems with Star Trek: The Next Generation (NES) and Beyond the Nexus (Game Boy). SEGA also made Pengo, Zaxxon and Tac/Scan for the 2600.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
