That cash cow known as the Star Trek series has spat out another software title which will no doubt have Trekkies salivating.

In Star Trek: New Worlds for the PC, the Romulans have uncovered new worlds in a distant galaxy and it's now a race with the Federation and dreaded Klingons to mine their resources.

Enter what is, more or less, a variation on the Command and Conquer theme.

Being a strategy fan, I was quickly absorbed by this title and impressed by its slick graphics and sound.

But in common with this genre, I found the control method annoyingly fiddly.

There were times when my fleet of phaser tanks were turned to charcoal on some distant corner of the map before I knew what was going on.

However, these are but minor gripes.
