Star Trek: The Next Generation Trivia (also known as Next Generation Trivia) is a trivia game about the Star Trek: The Next Generation TV series written for MS-DOS, published by Apogee Software (now 3D Realms). It was originally published by George Broussard under Micro F/X Software, before he joined Apogee.
The game was distributed as shareware. It consists of three volumes (named Volume 1 to 3), with only the first volume distributed as shareware, and the rest available commercially. Each volume has 100 multiple choice questions related to Star Trek: The Next Generation.
When the Star Trek copyright holder Paramount found out Apogee was making money on their property, they offered Apogee a license to the game idea. Apogee did not accept the offer, as the license would have cost more than what Apogee was making on the game.[1] Therefore, Apogee discontinued the game, and they no longer retain any copyright or control over on it.[2]
