I played this game long ago (2000) and it was my favorite Star Trek game. Armada and more of the other simply do not have the granularity that this game offers. The ability to handle the helmet, technology, security, disruptors, etc are all there. Where most other games all have point and click, watching things happen instead they happened, they were so much more fun.

This game allows players to observe the various deflector screens take damage and respond accordinglyto avoid further damage to the achievement of the fuselage. I think it was this aspect that the players feel that much more like a real spaceship captain made.

I agree that the efficient amount of damage had to do to other ships to handle the player fights more like a flight simulation than anything else and had to break a joystick or a gamepad. But overall the gameplay was solid.

For me, this game should definitely be renewed. Especially to voice commands seem to befrequent site for the games today. I could only imagine a multiplayer game where four players take control of various departments of the ship and the commands are given by the captain of the ship running!

Regardless, great game. Lost my CD's and am buying this again … Look at the date … this game is worth it.

Star Trek: Klingon Academy Specifications

Become a Klingon warrior, captain of a massive ship of war and charged with obliterating those who oppose the Empire in Klingon Academy. You play the role of a young Klingon officer newly accepted into the command academy of the Klingons. Your instructor: General Chang, the Shakespeare-quoting Klingon with the bolted-on eye patch, last seen in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. Christopher Plummer reprises his role as Chang in numerous TV-quality filmed scenes that set the stage for your combat missions. And, this being the Klingons, there are plenty of combat missions.

A fierce space-battle scene immerses the player in the chaotic period of Klingon history two and a half years before the Camp Khitomer peace accords, and reveals the events that led to Star Trek VI. These are the Klingons we know and love from the original Star Trek series: violent, sworn enemies of the Federation, wracked by devastating civil wars. Into this political cauldron you are thrown, playing as an ambitious student in an academy famous for ordering attacks on Federation starbases for homework.

It is clear the designers are die-hard Trekkers; the interface, music, graphics, and acting exude Klingon attitude. You command your ship much as a real Klingon captain would. You personally control the weapons and navigation of your ship, and bark orders to your weapons officer, science officer, chief engineer, and other officers through a keyboard interface. Each order is accompanied by a verbal confirmation, and your officers also report to you verbally. The interface takes getting used to, but it really gets across the feeling that you are a commander of a starship crew instead of a lone pilot. There’s nothing like hearing your officers yell “Sensors indicate incoming Starfleet vessels,” and answering them with a growl of your own: “Arm all weapons!”

And my, what nice weapons you have. Klingon Academy’s brilliant graphics let you obliterate the Empire’s many foes in the most satisfying way. Think of the bit-by-bit starship destruction in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan: warp nacelles belch plasma after a fierce disrupter barrage, flaming decks are revealed after your torpedoes blast a Federation ship’s disc in half. And as in Khan, you can lure your foes into a variety of exotic combat environments, from icy planetary rings to charged nebulae, and even to the fiery corona of a star or the space-time bending horizon of a black hole.

All the action is tied together by a devious plot that threatens the honor and survival of the Empire. The game is a vast improvement over its predecessor, Starfleet Academy, and truly captures the look and feel of Star Trek’s most popular warrior race. –Mike Fehlauer

Pros:

• Great music, graphics, and Klingon atmosphere
• Beautiful starship destruction
• Classic Klingon politics drive the missions, linked by entertaining filmed sequences
• Command interface makes it feel like you’re commanding an entire crew

Cons:

• Long load times when warping between systems

Customer Reviews

It’s fun to be a Klingon – Marcus Trise – Maryland
Well, I had bought this game years ago, but it lacked some CD's. So I decided to buy it again. The game is kinda cool. You are the captain of a bird of pray, how cool. You can send your coat to transfer power to repairs, and fire and traverses primary weapons. If you take on a star ship, it can be strung a little skill whatever your orientation. The starships move anywhere fast.
This is an older game, and you can have some problems with graphics, for me it is on the start-upPage. Over-all it is a good game, especially if you like Star Trek and Klingons

My husband’s favourite, it appears . . . – Dancing Ganesha – Bangalore, India
If you ask my husband what was his favorite game, he would say, "Star Trek: Klingon Academy. I admit I do not know much about Star Trek, nor do I care to know, but the game seems to be a certain attraction for my husband, who goes beyond the normal requirements to have fandom. Because he was not the type to go and buy a few of the truly junk, or even Star Trek games, I say, his love for this game is definitely real. He has this Play more than once played and does not seemget enough of it, much to the chagrin of the woman. Haha.

Perhaps the most customized game… ever! – – Toronto, Ontario Canada
While there is nothing more to say than what earlier reviews have already covered, is one thing worth mentioning about Klingon Academy, it is 'modability', that is, to make way for players and download customized vessels screens, star systems and other game components. There are literally thousands of ships to and from all five major Star Trek series (TOS, TMP, TNG, DS9, Voy and Ent), fan-based designs and ships from Babylon 5, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, etc,etc, etc. For me, this was a 2 ½-year-gaming experience, as a new permanent modifications made by the modding community is KlingonAcademy.com. It still amazes me that these 3 + year old game still attract new fans, with a growing and thriving online community …
