You explore five ships inside and out, panning, zooming, and rotating your way through dozens of 3-D props and objects. Along the way, you can activate consoles, phasers, monitors, and tricorders as if you were in command of the ship. The program features more than 1,600 linked hot spots that simulate real Starship commands. The graphic simulations of the ships are impressive, and moving your way around is easy. No doubt this is the closest experience to being on one of the Starship bridges you could have without actually being there (or on a Star Trek set).
There is only one problem with this program--nothing happens. Once you've looked around the ships, there's not much else for you to do. You may be disappointed that there are no Klingons to fight and no place to beam to. Unless you are a Trekkie fascinated by every ounce of Star Trek trivia, you might fall asleep in the Captain's Chair.

Customer Reviews of Star Trek Classics: Captains Chair
Worth Getting Captain's Chair is a very interesting look at some of the ships that were on all of the TV series besides Enterprise. Now, I guess because it's called "Captain's Chair", it doesn't have DS9 but it does have the Defiant. Overall, I think that the TNG Interactive Techinal Manual is better when it comes to information and more detal. What this has that I didn't see in the TNG Manual was the interviews with the cast. That's right, when you explore the ships, you can find on the capain's chair a button that will have interviews with George Takei, Michael Dorn and so on. They talk about why they wanted to work on Trek and other things. Every ship has an option a tour that can be given by one of the crew voiced by the real actors, but it's only voice and you don't see them. This is a cool thing to have, just for the videos and tours, but I think the Technical Manual probably had a lot more info.
It's fun to poke around the bridge
Overall I agree with the other reviews. I purchased this "game" when it first came out. It's fun to poke around and play with each station (blow up Voyager? oh my!) The only problem I've had is the E conference lounge access - anybody know how to get in there? I haven't been able to find any hints! Arrgh
Ensign you have the conn.
I have a ton of Star Trek games but, this is one of the neatests.
You get to go on any of five Star Trek Bridges and push buttons and shoot probes and phasers. The best part is you get to pick up props like phasers and hyprosprase. You even get to open a tricorder. The games mostly free-roaming, actualy it is all free roaming. It's live action to exept for the original enterprise which is cheap 3-D. The only bad part is that you can get bored after your first three days of playing. It's not like you sit there for a month and try to beat it. It is a game to come back to and play every once and a while though. COOLEST STAR TREK GAME EVER.
P.S. I hear people buy this game and get disapointed because they can't free roam the whole ship. I do have another game called STAR TREK THE NEXT GENERATION INTERACTIVE TECHNICAL MANUAL that let's you free-roam every main room on the enterprise-D only. Including Enginering, Ten Foraward, Transportation (like beaming) and even the captains quarters. Check this game out to!
