There was this officially licensed Star Trek tabletop starship battle game that I got to play a couple times in the eighties and no one seems to remember it but me. Wish I could find a copy. I remember it being a blast.
I could rattle off a whole list of TRS-80 Model I/III or Apple ][ games that no one has ever heard of, but I'll spare you.
I'm pretty sure I played a couple rounds with a friend of mine some 25 years ago.
Mainly remember it because I had not really watched any st back then, and the weapons and propulsion etc were all a bit confusing
Did each player get sort of an octagonal board with the starship in the center used to track ship orientation and shield strength?
I think it was this one
Ahhh I think I recognize that. It was used by the Star Trek TTRPG as well. I didn't realize it had a standalone version.
The game I'm thinking of focused more on 1-on-1 fights, and it was set in the Star Trek II/III movie era.
Sounds like an old Palm Pilot game I used to play.
