Although the pinball itself plays well, [[{{Trekkie}} purist]] ''[[{{Trekkie}} Trek]]'' [[{{Trekkie}} fans]] will bemoan the slapdash use of the license, as only the artwork ties the game to the series. The ''Enterprise'' is shown firing a [[WaveMotionGun gigantic energy beam]] from its front saucer, one lane is labeled "[[CriticalResearchFailure Jump to Hyperspace]]", and the only SpellingBonus on the entire table is for B-A-L-L-Y. Spock is the only regular character depicted on the playfield, accompanied by a smiling, generic blonde woman in a red jumpsuit (and Ilia in the redecorated version). Even so, it's a popular piece of [[TheSeventies seventies]] ''Trek'' memorabilia for devoted collectors.

In March 2014, John Zitterkopf unveiled ''[[https://pinside.com/pinball/archive/star-trek-the-mirror-universe Star Trek: Mirror Universe,]]'' a rethemed version of the game based on the classic episode "Mirror, Mirror." Along with all-new plastics, playfield, and backglass art, ''Mirror Universe'' horizontally mirrored the entire playfield, with the shooter lane on the left. It ended up winning "Best of Show" at the 2014 Houston Arcade Amusement Operators Expo.

However, soon after production began, the decision was made to tie the game to ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture,'' which was being released later in the year. This was done by updating the backglass art to show the ''Enterprise'' crew in one-color spacesuits, to be a closer match to their ''Motion Picture'' uniforms. Furthermore, two playfield plastics showing unnamed women were redrawn as Ilia instead.
