Rescue! is an excellent game for Mac OS loosely based on Star Trek: the Next Generation. Early versions of the game were in black and white, and used the original names of the Star Trek alien races: Romulans, Klingons, Cardassians, Ferengi. Later versions have changed the names to Rulans, Kigons, Cardaians, and Fengi.

Rulans and Cardaians have allied to attack several Federation outposts. You must evacuate the outposts and return their colonists to a Starbase. You are authorized to use deadly force.

Gameplay is rather simple. You are in command of the U.S.S. Enterprise, equipped with phasers, 18 photon torpoedoes, and a tractor beam. You must warp to each of the up to 9 outposts, beam down an away team, start evacuating colonists (survivors in the case of an attacked outpost), beam up your away team, then transport all the colonists to a Starbase. In your way are Rulan Warbirds and Superhawks, Cardaian Scorpions, and the Cube Ship. There are various extra weapons hidden around the galaxy, and Starbases and Kigons will help defend you.

There are four preset difficulty levels, but the mission parameters are all customizable. Unfortunately, the game does not have a web page, but it is available from varius FTP archives. The author, Tom Spreen, supposedly has another project in the works.
