Game cover: Beebtrek

Description

Beebtrek is a 1-player real-time Star Trek variant for the BBC Micro and Electron.

The player takes on the role of Captain of the USS Enterprise, tasked with destroying a set number of Klingons in the galaxy. The entire galaxy is divided into an 8 x 8 block of 64 quadrants. The ship is armed with short range sensors to find Klingon vessels, stars, and starbases. Long-range sensors can detect the presence of enemies in nearby sectors. Probes can be launched to evaluate other quadrants, and Klingons will move between quadrants towards the player.

The Enterprise can be moved via impulse engines in local sectors, or the warp drive to move between quadrants. When engaged in combat, the player can modify their shield status, and use phasers and photon torpedoes to engage the enemy. Torpedoes can be manually fired or locked onto the enemy. Total ship energy is used to power shields and phasers, and can be recharged at star bases.
