What I recall is that you almost always had to resort to some sort of weirdness devised by Spock that might kill you, or might solve the problem. After you deployed the weirdness, Spock would say something like "Fascinating...we survived" or it would read "F-a-s-c-i...." and you were all dead. Is this the same game? I might have it too, in one of several boxes. The chance of actually finding it is remote, sadly. I THINK I remember this game as well.

Truly this is the essence of the internet: instead of Gutenberg's copy of Meditations, you get an unanswered question about an obscure videogame for a long-dead platform.
