|
A strange question I know, but as I like chess, I remembered being told that the 3 or 4 tier board(s) strategy game (made of glass?) played in the programme, was actually manufactured as a real game. 
Any Star Trek fans that can supply details about such ?
I do like strategy games, so any info appreciated.
C.J.

C.J,
I'm not really a fan of Star Trek but I found this link for you http://www.3dchessfederation.com/tridimensional_chess.htm
I believe this is what you are talking about? It looks quite complicated

Thanks very much.
I'm not a fan of Star Trek either, but I did recall the game, maybe catching my attention because of my interest in chess etc.
There is another type of chess, or at least a variant of the normal chess, which lets you refight the battle at the Little Bighorn, details of how to play being in a site called 'Chess is War'.
Thanks again
C.J.

Are you a 'Trekkie'? 
Is it true they actually made a Klingon dictionary/language book, as in, it has been officially designated as a language ?
A sci-fi movie I liked was 'Silent Running'. Have you seen it, trying to protect the last of the earth's plants by sending them into space in giant 'greenhouse craft' ?
Man, it would be great if you could get those maintenance robots, not only could they be programmed to do mechanical repairs, but gardening as well.

I've been informed that Klingon has been designated a language. Apparently, one of the Big Brother tasks was for someone to learn some phrases !
