Appropriate for a milestone celebration pinball, the playfield is filled with iconic props from the television show, such as [[Recap/StarTrekS1E28TheCityOnTheEdgeOfForever the Guardian of Forever,]] [[TeleportersAndTransporters the transporter,]] the [[Recap/StarTrekS2E6TheDoomsdayMachine Doomsday Machine,]] and a bank of Dilithium Crystals. Playfield images spotlight key characters and scenes, including [[Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror Lt. Uhura's evil counterpart,]] [[Recap/StarTrekS1E0TheCage Commander Pike,]] [[Recap/StarTrekS2E15TheTroubleWithTribbles an armful of Tribbles,]] and an assortment of [[Recap/StarTrekS1E26ErrandOfMercy Klingons,]] [[Recap/StarTrekS2E10JourneyToBabel Andorans,]] [[Recap/StarTrekS1E14BalanceOfTerror Romulans,]] and [[Recap/StarTrekS1E18Arena Gorn]]. But the most eye-catching aspect of this pinball is in the backglass, which shows Captain Kirk leading an Away Team on the transporter pad. At key points during a game, the transporter will activate and beam away the party -- and only judicious shots to the moving Master Crystal will re-energize the transporter to bring them back. Original voice clips from Creator/JamesDoohan give player directions, supplemented with sound effects from the TV show.

----

''Star Trek'' is considered to be one of the better pinball machines from Data East. While the rules are fairly simple and won't challenge pinball experts, the gameplay is fast and balanced, and the excellent use of the license adds to the fun.
