There was a cool Star Trek one where you explored different sectors and occasionally you would run into Klingons and have to battle them.

My dad programmed it into one of the computers he had and it was so much fun to play. |
the Trek game actually evolved from one of the first games written on a main frame.
It bounced around for a long time. The last time I saw it, there was a version called EGATrek that was really good.
The one thing that killed me in this game was that you had a set amount of energy to fight with and maneuver with. And I would always go over the top in terms of phaser energy. I'd target a Klingon with 2000 units of energy. Of course he'd explode, and then I'd go to warp to the next system, and find out that I was out of gas.
