Emulation
This game works with: Mini vMac

From the back of the box:

"Terrorist attacks in the Aquila Star System...
An unknown aggressor threatens the Enterprise...
First Officer Will Riker placed in command...

Ambition and greed combine in a desperate bid for galactic dominance. To turn back this threat, Riker must discover the secret of a lost Aquilan civilization and unravel the mystery of the enigmatic children wandering through its ruins.

Featuring:
- Your favorite actors from the hit TV series, digitized and fully animated
- Dazzling special effects, space battles, and never-before-seen aliens
- Context sensitive, easy-to-use, buttons, icons and hotspots. No typing!

The Transinium Challenge is the first in a new line of STAR TREK games developed by TRANS Fiction systems, a leading producer of state-of-the-art entertainment software. It combines the excitement and drama of the Next Generation television series with the richness of a new generation of advanced computer simulations.

System Requirements:
Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, or Macintosh II
1 Megabyte of RAM minimum
1 800K disk drive (Hard drive recommended)"

Does not appear to have copy protection. Appears to work fine in Mini vMac. The .sit archive is made with Stuffit Deluxe 3.5.1 and contains Disk Copy 4.2 images of both floppy disks.

Will post screenshots after a more thorough play-through.

(v1.1)

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k

Requires at least System 3.2, according to the manual.

It may be since it's compressed with an absolutely ancient version of Stuffit, so one can actually unstuff this in System 6. Could be that you need an old version of Expander. Some antivirus programs corrupt files, as well, though I didn't usually have that problem with sit archives, mostly with raw dsk files. Though, one of my old antivirus programs used to destroy Mini vMac if I tried to open it, so you never know.

System 7.5.3, Mac OS 7.6.1, Mac OS 8.1: unstuffed (StuffIt Expander 5.5) and mounted (Disk Copy 6.3) with no errors.

I'm not sure if it's my useless Internet provider, but I've tried downloading this .sit archive a few times and comes up as corrupt when I try to unStuff it.
