Hi Thomas, Great idea, a live action star trek game! You could pick your mission from a list then pick what ship you are controlling. When David did Star Trek originally with PCS in DOS we did not know if blind people could handle so much information in a live action game, plus DOS had the limitation of being only able to play one sound at a time. He then added a sound playing module inside ST and LW that could play more than one sound but not everybody could use it for lack of memory. I think when he made the conversion to Windows, ST was his first one so he did not take full advantage of the multiple sounds feature of windows. Plus Windows 98 did not have directX so the sounds had to be played differently. Today such a project would not be so difficult to write or to play. You should go where no game company has gone before! smiles, Phil
