Star Trek: Judgment Rites

Gameplay is similar to that of Judgment Rites's predecessor, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary. The player controls Captain Kirk of the USS Enterprise, and interacts with Spock, McCoy, and other crewmembers while solving eight "episodes" on and off the ship. Combat sequences, in which the Enterprise battles enemies in space, are optional unlike those in the first game.

Throughout the story arc, the Enterprise crew attempts to go on shore leave, but are often waylaid by the many missions of the scenarios, as if they were part of a "to be continued" story not often featured in Star Trek, due to the greater story arc. They are not seemingly random missions.

Federation - The Enterprise is confused by a rift in space-time that deposits a heavily damaged Federation starship before it. The ship, the USS Alexander, reports that it has returned from 8 days in the future, where the Federation has been destroyed, just before the ship explodes. The crew of the Enterprise must discover the cause of the destruction and prevent it from happening.

Together with 25th Anniversary, Judgment Rites sold more than 300,000 copies by April 1994. Computer Gaming World in March 1994 said that "The individual adventures are far more interesting" than that of 25th Anniversary, and liked the "nicely upgraded" graphics. The magazine concluded that although experienced adventurers would finish the game quickly, "it would be a shame for Star Trek fanatics to miss out on Judgment Rites". Charles Ardai said in April 1994 that Judgment Rites "is a better game in any number of ways" than its predecessor, with optional and less combat, more and larger episodes, a unified plot thread, and bigger roles for supporting characters.

Judgment Rites was a runner-up for Computer Gaming World's 1993 "Adventure Game of the Year" award, which ultimately went to Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers and Day of the Tentacle (tie). In 1996, Computer Gaming World ranked it as the 96th best PC game of all time, calling it "the first Star Trek game that truly captured the feel of the original episodes." In 1994, PC Gamer UK named it the 43rd best computer game of all time. The editors wrote, "Previous Star Trek titles failed miserably, but this one shows how well it can be done when the designers treat the subject with the respect it deserves." That same year, PC Gamer US named Judgment Rites the 44th best computer game ever.
