I bought this game at a charity sale, to support flood victims in southern Alberta.

The surface of the disc has light scratching on it. I don't have a playstation to test the game on, but I am able to read parts of it with my PC.

The game case says NTSC U/C. (North American Region).

Gameplay

Encounters is an arcade style shoot 'em up game, and features ships and characters from all five Star Trek series: Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise.

Six classes of Starfleet vessels are available for play. These are:
The NX class Enterprise (NX-01) under the command of Captain Jonathan Archer
The Constitution class Enterprise (NCC-1701), under the command of Captain James T. Kirk (this is the refit version of the ship that first appeared in Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
The Galaxy class Enterprise (NCC-1701-D), under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard
The Defiant class Defiant (NX-74205), under the command of Captain Benjamin Sisko
The Intrepid class Voyager (NCC-74656), under the command of Captain Kathryn Janeway
The Sovereign class Enterprise (NCC-1701-E), under the command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Story missions

The story portion of the game consists of six sections. Five are based on television series (Star Trek: Enterprise, Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager), whilst the sixth section is based on the Enterprise-E, which first appeared in Star Trek: First Contact.

There is no overall story connecting the different sections (unlike in, say, Star Trek: Legacy); instead, each section has a self-contained storyline.

The Enterprise missions involve defending Earth from the Xindi threat. The first mission is a tutorial, in which the play must fight some Xindi fighters. The second mission involves locating the Xindi planet-destroying super weapon and destroying it before it destroys Earth. The last mission involves destroying construction orbs that make the parts for the super weapon.

The Original Series missions take place between Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. The first mission involves the Enterprise escorting a Vulcan ambassador to peace talks with the Klingons. The next few missions see the player pursuing the Klingons. In the last mission, the Klingons are searching for fragments of the Genesis device (featured in Star Trek II) whilst the Genesis Planet explodes and the player must outrun the shockwave.

The Next Generation plot involves the Romulans. The mission starts with the discovery of a wormhole leading from Romulan Space into Federation space. After destroying the invading Romulans, the Enterprise-D enters the wormhole and destroys the Romulans on the other side, preventing them from re-entering. However, the Enterprise is then trapped inside of a giant "living" weapon, but after reactivating the creature's immune system, the Enterprise escapes.

The Deep Space Nine missions are set during the Dominion War. The first of two missions take place in the Badlands as the Defiant sets out to find some missing ships. In the final mission, Jem'Hadar ships warp into the area around Bajor, and the Defiant and Deep Space 9 must destroy them.

The Voyager missions involve the Kazon and the Borg. The first mission sees Voyager attempting to recover four artifacts revealing details about the "origin of life" in the universe. The second mission has Voyager facing the Borg as they attempt to assimilate planets in the Delta Quadrant. The third mission features Species 8472, and their fight against the Borg. The last mission sees Voyager escaping the Borg Queen.

The Enterprise-E missions start off with the Enterprise battling Orion Raiders, who have created a superweapon powered by antimatter. Aided by the Ferengi, the Enterprise prevents the Orion from firing. The last mission involves time travel and every ship from the game. After a battle, everything is put right, and the timeline is restored.
