Yes! I'm not an old gamer by any stretch, but I started serious 'gaming' with SFB back when I was 11 years old. It used to consume many evenings and weekends.
There was something about the naval combat and the damage tracking that just sparked our young imaginations. I have nothing but fond memories of that game, and on a recent readthrough it was maybe less complicated than it seemed at 11 years.
I don't have anyone to play with these days, but maybe the new Star Trek film(s) will change that.
Check out the computer-game version, Starfleet Command, for a reasonable real-time version. As a fan of the game, I enjoyed it greatly.
