In the 1970′s a script game for Star Trek was invented. It was a text based mainframe computer game written by Don Daglow. It was one of the most popular Star Trek game in the mainframe computer during that time.

The game starts by having you in charge of the Enterprise. The object of the game is to win against the Klingon, Romulan or Tholian vessel that has appeared on your sensor. Options include to move closer, farther, fire phasers or photon torpedoes. Damage to shields, engines and torpedoes are then reported back to you so you can make your next move.

There have been numerous games that came out for Star Trek through the years. Dating game Star Trek style can be found on different websites. There are quizzes involving the romantic involvements of some of the crew of the Enterprise such as Spock and of course Captain Kirk.

Our culture has truly embraced the Star Trek phenomena. There is even a website called CaptainKirksGuidetoWomen.com which shows how you can court a girl Captain Kirk style.

The classic Star Trek series can never be complete without the leader of the Enterprise, Captain James T. Kirk. It is only fitting that there are posters reserved only for the captain. One of my favorite poster of Captain Kirk is his Kobayashi Maru poster which only shows his figure as he passed and defeated the no win situation test because he cheated.

The caption says “It’s okay to cheat, if you just really don’t like to lose.” Being the young, confident and brash captain that he was, Captain Kirk will really do anything so he would not lose. Well, you have to consider that the Kobayashi Maru test was designed so that no one could win so he cheated.

We all want to see Captain Kirk in action. His timeless battles are still being talked about until today. He is not only witty, smart and suave with the girls but he also uses his brawns and fist to settle the issue. The fight scenes may be old school but hey it still looks cool on posters right?

When we see William Shatner on TV we can’t help but associate him with Star Trek. His portrayal of Captain Kirk has transcended the personification of the character and he will be forever remembered as the Captain of the Enterprise. On the poster below we see an older Captain Kirk and I like this poster because he looks like he’s gonna tear some aliens eyes out.

So those are just some of the cool Captain Kirk posters you can find. We all love classic items and pictures and the Star Trek posters, especially those of Captain Kirk, is a wonderful collection that has a class of its own.

If you want inspiration then the classic Star Trek series can give you loads of that. In fact, our very own space missions are inspired by our science fiction movies, novels and TV series. The characters in Star Trek has lots of positive traits that we can all pick up and follow. The dedication and courage of Captain Kirk and the intelligence of first officer Spock are just some of the traits and abilities that can give inspiration to the million of Star Trek fans.

You can find tons of inspirational posters that depict everything that is good and awesome with the characters of Star Trek. Some posters can be considered inspirational even if it does not show any of the characters. Below is one example that oozes with inspiration.

Inspirational posters are there to give us motivation and boost our confidence. Even bodybuilders put up posters of bulging muscled men to motivate them while they are working out. Sometimes it can be the catalyst that feeds our thirst to do something extraordinary.

For all those who are not followers of Star Trek, Captain Kirk is the main man of the Enterprise. He is the captain of the ship and the crew looks up to him and relies on him when there is trouble. We all know this man is awesome, you can see in the poster below that he is full of charisma and absolute confidence. This is what a captain of a space ship should be.

The caption says it all “I’m sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.” Yes he has every right to smile like that.

His full name is James Tiberius “Jim” Kirk. He is the youngest starfleet captain of the five year mission of the Enterprise. He is described by his crew as cunning, courageous and confident. He was also involved with lots of women during his mission but he is always bound to his duty. His dedication to the Enterprise always wins over the women.

How can we all forget his significant friendship with his first officer Spock and chief medical officer Dr. Leonard McCoy. The three of them have been involved in all the adventures and exploits of the Enterprise throughout the galaxies.

The cultural impact of the Star Trek series and Captain Kirk is tremendous. He will be forever etched in the American pop culture as a character that depicts a true space hero. He was even voted the sixth most popular space hero of the 2010 Space Foundation survey. The town of Riverside, Iowa holds a yearly Star Trek convention that anticipates the birth of Captain Kirk in the year 2233.

We all love the classic Star Trek Original Series because it is a complete show for everyone. It has action, space adventure, suspense, beautiful ladies, smart and scary aliens and of course there are funny moments in each episode. The internet has been littered with funny pictures and jokes about the Star Trek Series. Below are some of the funny pictures that will make you laugh out on your seat.

The caption says: “You want to know why they argue all the time? Because the make-up sex is incredible.” The caption has really made the picture of Spock and McCoy look hilarious.

Caption says: “And you thought the girls wore short skirts on this show.” Oh well, it is hard not to make fun of men in skirts.

Caption says: “If you don’t know what it is, you probably are one.” Based on the image, he truly has no clue what that is.

Caption says: “Spock, I’m hiding a tribble somewhere on my body. See if you can find it.” I don’t know what Spock is thinking on that image, I guess he regrets not calling in sick for today.

Star Trek is a part of pop culture and so are the funny scenes, pictures and jokes about this classic series. This is just one way of showing how we truly appreciate and love Star Trek. We cannot forget their episodes of people wearing funny out-of-this-world costumes and aliens with funny faces. You can still find lots of funny images and pictures of Star Trek with hilarious and witty captions which will make you laugh.

Kirk gunpowder is associated with the popular episode in the Star Trek Original Series entitled Arena where Captain Kirk had to battle the Gorn without any weapon at his disposal. The ever wise and brave Captain Kirk was able to build a mortar out of a hollow bamboo filled with gunpowder (potassium nitrate, sulfur and coal). He then stuffed the bamboo with precious stones, he even had a wick, he lit it and blew the Gorn right smack in his chest. Take that MacGyver.

The poster above, aptly entitled Ingenuity, shows Captain Kirk firing the homemade mortar/bazooka into the Gorn’s chest. Yes, only Captain Kirk would have thought of that.

The popularity of that episode even prompted the Mythbuster’s to construct a homemade bazooka just to see if it really can be done in real life scenario when you are face to face with an alien without any gun or weapon.

Captain Kirk is really one smart and tough captain. The caption on the poster is right, “That’s why he’s the goddamn Captain.”

“To boldly go where no man has ever gone before.” This is the ever famous opening line of Star Trek and if you are a real star trek fan then you probably have some star trek posters on your bedroom wall showing the enterprise and that popular line below.
