Yup, I can still hear the noises to.. ROFLMAO! :)
Eeep! Errk! glorg! etc etc etc.. ;)
Of course Garrett was oblivious to the noises.. seemed he also had an
interest in the famous sports figures. ;)
He couldn't... vast difference between the DS-9 dept and the Voyager dept. :/
The DS-9 dept is like Forrie's house.. or a really neat den that a friend has
where you can spend hours looking at all the neat stuff.. and lot's of
personality... with lot's of pictures (ahh somewhat modified) in the main
room on the wall..... you can spend about 20 minutes looking at them all and

01-Dec-97 05:23:00, Matt Weese wrote to David Easton
          Subject: Starfleet Academy
Starfleet Academy only runs under Windows 95 (98 will work too probably).
According to the specs on the box itself, you minimally need:
        * Pentium 90
        * 16 Mb. RAM
        * 4-Speed or faster CD-ROM
        * Approx. 150 Mb. free space on HD
        * VESA-Compatible videocard with 1 Mb. memory
        * DirectX v5 compatible system
And the recommended system is a Pentium 150 with 32 Mb. RAM. Also, the game
supports 3Dfx cards (although it already looks magnificient without one).
I've got a Pentium 133 with 24 Mb. RAM myself, and the game works just
fine. But when I've got to fight against multiple ships at once, the game
tends to slow down.
But that doesn't matter - I'm having lots of fun with the game! As a matter
of fact, right after I have finished this message, I'll go play it for the
umpteenth time!
BTW, It's really nice to see Kirk, Sulu and Chekov as my instructors!
Happy gaming!

I can well imagine, I owned an authentic ST movie uniform until last year,
