Star Trek – 25th Anniversary is a 1992 Game Boy video game developed by Visual Concepts and published by Ultra, based upon the Star Trek universe. The game chronicles a mission of James T. Kirk and his crew of the USS Enterprise. Despite having the same name, the Game Boy version is not a port of the NES game or computer versions, and is in fact a completely different game.

It was succeeded by Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy, developed and published by Absolute Entertainment the following year. The Game Boy version of Star Trek: 25th Anniversary starts with Captain Kirk receiving a message from Admiral McQuilkin at Starfleet Base 4: “Greetings Captain Kirk. The challenge facing you today carries grave consequences for the future of the galaxy.

A giant machine known as the Doomsday Machine now roams space, obliterating whole worlds in its path, its origin unknown. Having detected its approach five months ago, our Federation engineers began production of the Proto-Matter Fusion Disruptor, a powerful new device we believe to be capable of stopping the giant machine. The player uses the ship icon at the bottom of the screen to track progress through the levels.

The player has two weapons available while in ship mode: phasers and photon torpedoes. In the power menu the player may choose to divert power to or from speed, shields, or phasers. The Enterprise must defeat many enemy ships and hit warps and collect energy to advance, while avoiding asteroids and enemy fire, as well as the gravitational pull of planets.
