There was an original ST:TNG version, and later, a more advanced Voyager version with incredible audio (built into the headrests of your chair), some decent 3D and some well-designed low-tech effects (e.g., you'd get squirted with water after phasering a Borg, and when you were assimilated, a mechanical "probe" in the upholstered chair would start to "drill" into your lower back, no joke). You'd exit into the DS9 Promenade (gift shops) and then into Quark's Bar (a themed restaurant). Lots of fun.
