And the scientific mysteries that dominate many episodes of the shows are a natural fit for the puzzles that are central to the classic point-and-click adventure design.
In other words, they are exploring interesting locales, observing their surroundings, talking to people, etc. There are occasional spurts of violence, but most of the time the crew is trying to make peaceful contact with an alien species, or explore a strange new world, or frantically run scientific analyses to avert a disaster, all while dealing with difficult philosophical questions. Star Trek imagines a future where humanity has solved its problems and created a paradise on Earth, and starship crews explore the universe on missions of peace and the advancement of knowledge and understanding. I won’t repeat that here, but I will say that the genre, with its focus on exploring handcrafted locales, observing the surroundings, talking with people, and solving puzzles, is perfect for Star Trek. When I wrote about the first Act of Double Fine’s Broken Age, I included a brief history of the point-and-click adventure genre. I also realized that the timing is perfect yet again, because I’m playing Star Trek 25th Anniversary 25 years after its release. Now, I’ve almost finished watching every Star Trek episode, across its five different incarnations (I did take a few breaks, mind), and I realized I had better play Star Trek 25th Anniversary before that happens. The timing seemed fortuitous, but I wanted to finish watching the original series before playing, so I played some other games instead. Not long afterwards, I saw that Star Trek 25th Anniversary - a game starring the original cast that I played a lot after its original release in 1992 - was re-released on GOG, and I snapped it up. This began with the original series, which I’d never seen before I was only familiar with the original cast from the films.
Roughly two years ago, I decided to watch all of Star Trek.
