Cyan Alert! Set your eyeballs on stunned because it's time for CGA Trek! CGA Trek is a homage to the "Star Trek" game that originated on mainframe computers in the 1970's, inspired by the PC version from the late 1980s called EGA Trek. Like Riker and his transporter clone Thomas , or Tuvix, it is simultaneously a demake and remake. It aims to be a faithful recreation of the basic gameplay but i…
+1
- Nostalgic and faithful recreation of early Star Trek strategy games with simple and engaging gameplay.
- Well thought-out UI and UX with unique tactical elements like discrete shield facings and resource management.
- Period-accurate voice synthesis and catchy music add charm and immersion, enhancing the retro experience.
- Visuals are harsh and limited to a four-color palette, which can be tiring to the eyes and considered ugly by some players.
- Some bugs persist, including a stuck torpedo bug and a persistent final game over screen without a proper debrief.
- Lack of depth and content compared to later and more advanced versions, with limited difficulty scaling for experienced players.

The gameplay offers a turn-based, tactical experience true to classic star trek strategy games, featuring an 8x8 grid system and a clean, easy-to-read interface. While not the most complex in the genre, it balances satisfying strategic depth with immersive audiovisual elements and a unique, deliberately cheesy presentation. Overall, it provides a familiar yet fresh take that is engaging and accessible.
“Deliberately cheesy presentation combines with genuinely tactical and exhilarating gameplay to create a familiar Trek-like experience, but one that puts just enough of its own unique spin on the sub-genre to be entirely worth the minimal asking price.”
“In terms of gameplay, the fundamental tenets of the Trek-like are in place - the galaxy is divided into an 8x8 grid and each coordinate within that 8x8 grid is represented by its own 8x8 grid featuring ships, stars, and bases.”
“It's not the most in-depth Trek-like out there (the game it is most directly remaking, EGA Trek, has many additional gameplay features and complications that are not present in CGA Trek), but has enough going on that you need to keep track of that it is quite satisfying to play well, and has more visceral appeal due to the clever use of sound effects and pixel art than most of its contemporaries.”
“It's the old Star Trek strategy game, but with an eye-searing palette and several gameplay changes.”
“So I won't insult you by talking too much about its mechanics.”
