I had never really seen an episode of the original Star Trek before I bought this game and wow, I was blown away by it. These two games (25th and Judgement Rites) were really what adventure games should have been all about: real logical thinking to solve puzzles instead of trying to guess the singular solution the developer had in mind.
It's really amazing - different crew members can let you have different solutions and you can go for the easy solution at the expense of dropping in rating or you can really try to do everything the right way.
Final Unity later did a similar thing - it's obvious that they tried to mirror these two games (including combat - which was poor in all three games).
I wish we had more adventure games like these, to be honest. Having said that, they're too short if you ask me.
