The Secret of Vulcan Fury: Trek's Lost Adventure

A deep dive into Interplay and their cancelled adventure Secret of Vulcan Fury, the innovative, Fontana-penned, original-cast-voiced Star Trek story we never got to see. Examining what the game would have been like, how far they got, why it failed, and how much of it survived.
