Star Trek: The Game Show is a quiz video game set in the Star Trek universe released in 1998 for the Windows and Macintosh by Sound Source Interactive.
Another similar game, Star Trek Trivia Challenge, was released by Sound Source Interactive in 1999.[4][5]
The game is presented as a game show hosted by Q (John de Lancie), an all-powerful extra-dimensional being, and a female assistant (a Q in training) (Karen Cornwell). The game comprises four distinct rounds ("quadrants"), covering four television series and seven films from the franchise.[6] Each round features a unique gameplay style and theme. If the player answers incorrectly or runs out of time, a character known as Mr. Knowitall (T. Buffalo Wagnon) frequently pops up to give the correct answer. Some questions require the player to type in the specific answer without any spelling mistakes. With multiple choice questions, each player (up to 3) has a buzzer key assigned on the keyboard. The questions are not randomized, they are in the same order every playthrough.
