Admit it: Arcade games have hit a wall. That clutch-the-joy-stick-and- stand-at-the-video-terminal interface is getting real old. It's time to move to the Next Generation.
Edison Brothers Entertainment agrees. By late 1993 it plans to introduce fully immersive virtual reality games based on the runaway hit series "Star Trek: The Next Generation." To be anchored in our country's most revered cultural centers - malls - these centers will be a dramatic departure from the typical quarter-slogging video game haunts of yesteryear (many of which, by the way, St. Louis-based Edison Brothers owns and operates). Edison won't tell us how much a trip into the "Star Trek" world will cost, but it has licensed actual footage from Paramount Pictures ("Star Trek's" producer) and claims the ride will be fully interactive.
