- For the article on Starfleet Academy itself, see Starfleet Academy.
Starfleet Academy has long been a popular setting for Star Trek tie-in media; several books, comics, and games have featured casts of characters enrolled in this institution.
In this computer game, released in 1997, by Interplay, you are a cadet at Starfleet Academy taking command classes, where you go through simulator training. To pass you have to accomplish at least 75% of the mission goal. If you do not pass it still shows you what job you will end up with. One of the simulator missions is the dreaded Kobayashi Maru, while others are based on the exploits of Kirk's Enterprise. For instance, there is a simulation recreation of Battle of the Mutara Nebula, that Captain Kirk notes ruefully is used to reinforce the need to take the proper defensive precautions when encountering a non-communicative ship he neglected in the actual incident.
Versions were released for the IBM PC, the Mac, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and Sega Genesis 32X.
Live action scenes
On the PC, the game is enhanced with numerous interactive live action scenes that can affect crew performance, and a storyline involving a terrorist group known as the Vanguard. These scenes feature William Shatner as Kirk, Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov, and George Takei as Captain Hikaru Sulu, as celebrity guest instructors at the school.
A Starfleet Academy badge ribbon, used in one of these scenes, was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. [1]
