The Bally/Midway arcade game Gorf (1981) was originally intended to be a tie-in with Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). These plans changed when the game creators saw the film and realized that the story was too slow-paced and cerebral to be suitable for a video game. However, there are a few vestigial signs of the original game intentions. The player's spaceship resembles the Enterprise. There is a warp stage reminiscent of the warp speed effect, and lastly, the enemy ship in the boss flagship stage somewhat resembles a Klingon battle cruiser. An arcade game based on Star Trek was eventually made by Sega as Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator (1982) and was released around the same time that Star Trek II - L'ira di Khan (1982) was released. However, this game wasn't a direct tie-in with the events of that film either, and was a more generic Enterprise versus Klingons scenario.
