Used in the Star Trek: TNG season five episode #206 “The Game,” which aired the week of October 28, 1991. The Ktarian game was a single-player headset device worn over the ears that used a visual interface. The game displayed a grid pattern on which the player had to direct hovering disks into cone shaped objects over the course of multiple levels. Each level added one more disk and cone, starting with one at level 1 and reaching forty-seven at level 47. In 2368, Etana introduced it to William Riker for the purpose of gaining control of Starfleet, while Riker was vacationing on Risa. Riker then unwittingly helped spread it aboard the Enterprise-D while in route to the Phoenix Cluster. Fortunately, Wesley Crusher was able to deduce what had happened and was able to repair Data and distract the attention of the brainwashed crew long enough to give him time to work out a means of negating the game's influence. The headset has an adjustable metal headband, light metallic blue resin sliders and pods with clear adjustable acrylic arms and brass emitter tips. When you depress buttons at the back of each pod green lights on the side of each pod illuminate.
