This game is very fun to play (Be equipped with a walkthrough..), but this game will not run under XP, it is not a Win95 game, it is an MS-DOS game, Win 95 and 98 users, I suggest that you reboot in MS-DOS mode... Win XP users, find a program calld DOS Box to emulate MS-DOS... Also, this game is very picky, you must have a sound blaster compatible sound card to work...

Almost 15 years after its release, Star Trek: The Next Generation- A Final Unity is still a wonderful game. I lost my disk years ago and was glad to spend $12 to have this little gem back in my collection. The graphics, gameplay, and story made for a wonderful game game in 1995, and its still a heck of a lot of fun to play today. Of course, it will only run using MS-DOS (don't even think about trying to get it to run on Windows), but fortunately there is a great DOS emulator that is 100% free (and legal) called DOSBOX. Just google it, its easy to find. DOSBOX runs this game flawlessly on my Windows 7 PC.

So if you're a Star Trek fan and never had the joy of experiencing this game, buy it now! You wont regret it!

You need to search for instructions on-line to get the game running on Windows XP/Vista. For Windows 98 it's best to set the game to reboot the computer in DOS mode (a pain, but it works).

Once running, this game is wonderful. Voiced by all the real ST: TNG actors with an interesting (if not a little cartoonish) plot and some real puzzles. Some of the normal frustrations of adventure games apply, but this one is worth it if you're a TNG fan.

This game is a throwback to the golden age of the adventure game, which seems to all but disappeared in the modern thrall. STTNG:FU's gameplay focuses more on puzzle solving in the context of several connected missions. The story twists and turns and interweaves seeming unrelated plot missions well. The graphics were good for its time, but they are static by today's standards. Good voice acting and sound effects from the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast, including Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, Marina Sertis, Levar Burton, Michael Dorn, and Gates McFadden.
If you are a Star Trek: TNG fan and a fan of the adventure genre, you should really enjoy this game!

Great Star Trek: TNG Game! Feels like your watching one of the episodes, and able to interact with it! Create the story your way. I would recommend this game to any Star Trek: TNG fan!

Well, the good news. The package arrived in the time span that they said it would. All contents were pristine. The box a little bent (as the seller said it would be)...great shape cosidering the game is over 10 years old.
On the downside, the game was designed for IBM and Windows 95, I couldn't get it to install on XP (dispite the fact that XP could be programmed to run on "95" mode for video games). So far I'm surfing through 'Trek' blogging sites for help.
Anyone who has a clue can email me at kaizen559@hotmail.com. But hey, worst case senerio, I have a pretty cool collectors item...

i've tried several times at least,... it looked fun but it won't work on Win98. It is for Win95 , so maybe it would work on XP where u can choose to install as Win95-- i don't know.
