IMHO, it's not only Steve Ritchie's best, but one of the best pins ever made, period. It's not super deep, but it's deep enough that there is a good deal of strategy involved if you want to maximize your score. It's got cool flowing ramps, great DCS sound, fun canon toys, and a nice assortment of shots. What more can you ask for? Unless you absolutely hate Start Trek, I don't really see how someone can dislike this pin. I'm still amazed that you can get mint examples of this game for well under $3,000. Considering how high it is ranked on most lists, this makes it one of the best bang for the buck pins out there.

Warp 9.9 is the only real letdown on this game. It's so hard to do, and rather anticlimactic when you finally achieve it. I half expected the game to explode the first time I did it!

I have the funny ROMs. They are pretty cool, and there are definitely some hilarious quotes such as "We will never surrender ... unless you pay us enough!"
