Comments on: Star Command Review

Star Command is a Palm OS re-creation of the old Star Fleet game of the early 80s, which was (of course) a Star Trek simulation. In the game you control a starship and travel the galaxy fighting enemies in order to stay alive and rise in rank. Names have been slightly changed for trademark purposes, so now you fight Krutons (instead of Klingons) and Zingers (instead of Romulans).

Krutons? Travelling through what turns out to be a soup of a galaxy....

Good old game!

There are some types of games that are programmed in old times but they have a very good strategy, good gameplay and so they are still alive! This game is on of those. I remember I played it in a text version on old big supercomputer IBM 360/370(it had 16MB memory and took two rooms!) in 1980 year! And I am going to try it again on my palm!

Hi, I'm the developer. Thanks for the review. FYI, there is an entire Help menu to explain all the buttons and actions. There is also an HTML file that comes with the distribution that also explains the buttons and commands.

Just like the good ol days on the S250

This brings back great memories of being yelled at by our boss for playing Star Trek instead of working.

However, I am experiencing crashes on my TX. They only occur occasionally and the game will start right up where it left off. How are other TX users doing with this game?

I didn't have any issues whatsoever with this app on my TX or my 700p. I'm launching it off of a 2gb SD card on the TX and a 4gb SD on the 700p, no 3rd party launchers or hacks of any kind on either device.

Have you noticed the crashes more frequent when you have wi-fi and/or BT turned on? You might want to turn both radios off when playing this game (or any other game for that matter) as they consume minute amounts of system resources and/or always introduce another possibility for a crash or reset.
