Kobayashi Maru Teaches You To Cheat

By Dr. Evelyn Reed | October 22, 2025 | 7 min read

Star Trek D-A-C launches on Xbox Live Arcade tomorrow—and if you’re clever enough to press rummy star the right combination of buttons to trigger a currently unannounced cheat code, you can score the Kobayashi Maru Achievement.

Chris Plane over at UGO Games Blog reports that D-A-C developer Naked Sky Entertainment “also confirm a Red Shirt Achievement awarded to the first to die in a multiplayer game.” Since the entire game is rummy wealth multiplayer, I’m pretty sure I’ll unlock Red Shirt before I figure out the magic button combo to unlock Kobayashi Maru.

The rummy win game is a top-down space shooter where players can choose from three classes of ship to engage in several fierce multiplayer match modes. This mystery cheat code that unlocks Kobayashi Maru will supposedly improve your ship’s offenses and defenses; which is ironic because the “point” of the Kobayashi Maru test in Star Trek lore is to teach pilots fear when faced with a no-win situation. Captain Kirk cheats and reprograms the test so that it is possible to win.

Check out our preview of the game here; and go see the movie, if you haven’t yet.

I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. The promotions and bonuses offered are very generous. I especially love the daily free spins and deposit bonuses. They make playing even more enjoyable and increase my chances of winning big. The platform keeps me engaged for hours every day. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.

The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further.
