    PixelTrek lets you explore an 8-bit starship Enterprise

    Fans of Star Trek will want to check out PixelTrek, an elaborate (and apparently unsanctioned) homage to Star Trek: The Next Generation's iconic Enterprise-D. The Flash-based simulator allows you to control an 8-bit Data lookalike and explore a detailed recreation of Starfleet's flagship. Using your keyboard, you can check out familiar sights including Lt. Worf's quarters, the bridge, and a frankly surprising number of bathrooms. There's not much to do on board except look around — you'll see many of your favorite characters, but can't interact with them in any way. But for those who have missed the vessel since its unfortunate crash landing on Veridian III, PixelTrek offers a welcome return to the bridge.
