Play Star Trek: Judgment Rites Online

Star Trek: Judgment Rites is a science fiction adventure game released for MS-DOS in 1993. Developed and published by Interplay Productions, it serves as a sequel to Star Trek: 25th Anniversary. The game presents eight new episodic stories featuring the crew of the USS Enterprise from the original television series.

Players assume the role of Captain James T. Kirk, commanding the Enterprise and its crew. The primary objective is to investigate a series of strange phenomena occurring across distant space. Gameplay is divided between managing the starship and leading away teams to the surfaces of planets or other locations. Progression is structured around completing the eight distinct episodes, which involve exploring environments, communicating with a large cast of characters including Spock and Dr. McCoy, and solving various logic-based puzzles. Unlike the previous title, the starship combat sequences are entirely optional, allowing players to focus on the investigative and narrative elements.

The core experience revolves around puzzle solving and dialogue, requiring players to gather information and use items correctly to advance each story. Interaction with the crew is a key system, as different characters provide specialized knowledge or abilities. The game maintains a third person perspective throughout, whether navigating the Enterprise bridge or guiding an away team on a planetary surface. Each episode functions as a self contained mystery that contributes to a larger narrative arc concerning the unexplained cosmic events.
