In this video capture of the Star Trek 'game'
featured Sept.7-8 2012 the 'player' missed
throwing the rock at the Gorg before resorting
to the magic of gunpowder and the bamboo cannon.

I clicked on the lift and set off red alert (
) went to the Transporter Room, made one of them cry when I clicked on him, then clicked on the Transporter console, went down to an alien planet, used 3 implements to hit the alien, one of which rebounded and hit the Spock character

The character that gets beamed down is Scotty, not Spock. Spock is the 'G', Uhura and Kirk are the 'o's, 'Bones' is the 'g', Sulu is 'l' and Scotty is 'e'. You can tell who's who by the uniform colour - the pointed ears on the 'G' are also a give-away.
No, I'm not a Trekkie, I just have fond memories of the original series.

Oh, and clicking on that central console thingy gives various sound effects including firing torpedoes and phasers, and the ship-wide communications sound.

Clicking on Uhuru on page one brings her into
a close-up view radiating love-beams at Kirk.
Scotty cries in the Transporter room because
the poor widdle tribbles are falling outa the
overhead locker. Ya gotta click the locker.
That's the tribble with Troubles.
Because he's wearing red, Scotty gets killed
by the stick and the stone bouncing off the Gorg.
On the pentultimate page he comes back thru the
bridge turbo-shaft doors as a Zombie. 
Everyone acts surprised, eye-brows raise. Bones
looks really skeptical.
Cue theme music, star-field and the word Google
is revealed (in a Star Trek font) as the Enterprise
flies by.
Fin.

Gorg should read Gorn.
My fingers got to arguing with my brain
somewhere between Gorgon, Borg and Gordon.

Love the dancing skeleton. The rest doesn't seem very inspired, though...

Bravo Google!
One of the best ever.
It has warmth and a gentle sense of humour
which is much appreciated in this week of
Horror film re-runs, terrifying weather
and Apocalyptic American elections.
