Regardless of the theme it is simply a brilliantly designed pinball.What I love about it is that you can play it in many different ways.  Some games I focus on the missions (tournament sad-sacks can let them time out but where is the fun in that?), all of which are great fun to play (Time Rift and Asteroid Threat are my favourites).  Some games I really go for multiballs - hitting the Borg locks and particularly the Neutral Zone for some of the coolest stuff.  Sometimes I really work on getting the Warp Factor ramped up - worth it for the Factor 9 sound effects alone.It has some fiendishly difficult shots too, which make nailing them oh so satisfying.  The open playfield is the game's strength.  I love TZ but the gameplay is so stop-start and the playfield so cramped that it is hard to get a proper rhythm going.  ST:TNG is all flow and rhythm.  Maybe slower than most Steve Ritchie games but still a fast game.</blockquote>
