For just two consecutive months, starting with volume 5, issue 1 dated October 1981, SoftSide ran an ad for its software arm Ramware with Star Trek 3.5 listed for the Atari. The game first appeared in an Adventure International ad in very early 1981 and was likely sold by this publisher for most of that year. However, it is not known whether Ramware took over the commercialization of the program or if the two versions were distributed concurrently. There were issues with the licensing rights and, at one point, TRS-80 editions were retitled Star Flite. The game was probably discontinued very quickly as none of the Adventure International catalogs published in 1982 carry it anymore.

When I was 8 years old this was one of my favorite games. It wasn't much to look at but it was one of the few Star Trek themed games at the time and captured the basic feeling of flying around exploring and blasting Klingons. It was written in BASIC which meant I could even tinker around with the graphics and effects as a bonus.
