Kobyashi Naru is a 1987 adventure game by Mastertronic. The title comes from the Kobayashi Maru scenario in the Star Trek fictional universe, a training test. The player attempts to complete a series of challenges in order to complete the Kobyashi Naru test. Gameplay is standard for text-based adventures of the era. ZZap!64 summed it up as "harmless claptrap",[1] while CVG Magazine commented on the "extremeley basic" graphics.[2] Computer Gamer praised the intuitiveness of the game's parser, as opposed to other games that require a persnickety combination of words.[3]
