"Begin" is a computer game which was released in the 1980s, and which consists of combat between spaceships. It is a tactical starship simulator where the player commands between one and fifteen ships against an alien fleet. It is followed by "Begin 2".

The game is set in the Star Trek universe, logically somewhere in range, (as determined by the ship names, types, and the warp scale). Players can take the side of the Federation, Klingon, Romulans, or Orion Pirates. Various weapons and functions are included, such as phasers, photon torpedoes and tractor beams.

The game is notable in that it is widely considered an above-average test of player skill, as very few game factors are random. Most game actions are based on mathematical formulas and processes. [ [http://hallert.net/misc/begin/begin.html Begin website] ]
