I'm excited, the game looks pretty comprehensive as far as bridge command, managing ship resources, and assembling an away team. The original cast voiced all the characters as well, tho we noticed that Wesley was nowhere to be found =(
On the normal difficulty, you can let the various crew members such as LaForge and Worf take care of engineering and such and the computer will select the right away team for the missions. Higher difficulty has you manually doing everything, I think that's what I'm going to go for.
Looks like the preparation may entail creating an ISO from the disk and mounting that in Dosbox instead of running it off the CD, scanning forums it seems that people can get it going in Win7 but it can be tricky to get the game going and get sound as well.
