The following is footage of Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator (the official name of the arcade game), published for the IBM PC by Sega in 1983. It is not a complete playthrough, but rather just enough gameplay to serve as a reference for how the game performs on the original hardware it was developed for.
This footage was recorded from an IBM PC (8088 CPU running at 4.77MHz) with a ("new-style") CGA card. The audio was tapped from the PC speaker and the video was recorded from the CGA composite output. The result was post-processed from 30i to 60p; all source frames are intact.
Personal notes: While the on-screen animation is a little sloppy and there is slowdown at times, the gameplay is fairly authentic to the arcade original.
