Is this the original game that is pictured or an updated version

It is the original game. Only the pieces have been updated so that the characters look more like people. The rules and the weapons have remained the same.

It appears to be an updated version. It's a nice game, but not the original that we played when we were kids. It does look very similar,however.

the one I purchased was original. BUT it was missing most of it's original suspects & weapons. we've actually purchase 2 original boxes to try to make 1 full game.

I'm not sure what you mean by "original". I have the 50th Anniversary Edition which has metal figures that are not painted. This version has plastic figures which are painted. Otherwise, they are pretty much the same. There are other versions which have colored tokens rather than the figures. Hope this helps.

From the picture it looks like first edition. I bought this earlier this year & the box was square instead of rectangular. I don't know of any differences between the editions and both will work with all editions of the base game. Might check out BoardGameGeek.com for more info.

The newer version is virtually identical to the old. It actually has more words (I think) because each card has 4 'Taboo' words. The only thing I didn't like about the new game were the card holders and the buzzer. The card holders are not separated, so that is inconvenient. The buzzer is no longer a buzzer, but rather it sounds like a dog toy when you squeeze it. So the game is the same, if not better. But the accessories are not what I would have liked. Hope this helps!

Mine is the one pictured and I purchased it in 2012. I do believe there is a newer version that came out for 2014.

Yes it was the latest version. The only thing I have to complain about is the display stand. It's a piece of craps that barely holds up the ship. Other than that I was very happy

They're right, it is deceptive advertising. The one they send you is actually the newer version of the game, no the one you see pictured here. The prompts on the card are situated differently. As far as it being "worse", that is the personal preference of those who said that. When I got mine, I was disappointed that it wasn't the older version pictured here. But I looked through it; it isn't terrible or anything. It is just fine. The terms are updated for our digital age, but I don't find anything inherently wrong with it.

I don't understand that - I just got this Scrabble game and a new laptop last November (2012), so it's not that old. Since I don't have the box that the game came in, is Encore the game manufacturer? If so, they probably have a newer version, but trust me the one that I bought from amazon works - I have a Dell laptop - not that it should make a difference.

The first one I ordered (supplier Etailz) last year had this same picture but received the new version of the game. I returned that one and ordered Classic Edition which had the gray board design from the 60s from supplier Winning Moves. That time I got what I expected. The customer service was great for the return.

We think it was a new version. My son says there are lines on the saucer section that are not on the original model. He says it matches the remastered version of the Enrerprise.

It's the older version. My son received the new version for Christmas and I couldn't stand it so I bought him the same one I played as a child.

I would say it is the original version. The parts are a little cheaper than I remember as a kid but the game is the same.

Be very cautious. I thought I was buying the original and got the new game. I complained to the vendor(PJ Books, I believe). Said they'd find me the original and send it. It was very used. More used than my game(I was buying it for a member of my family). What a mess

This is the actual game. It is the Spanish version, however. There is English on all the cards, it is understandable but I was not aware of that when I bought it. Even so, it has been huge hit and several of my friends have bought it as well! Highly recommend it.

I am not sure if there is a way to tell from the package the one i purchased was 4th edition, it still has the same great game quality.

No it is not, I was very disappointed to get the new version, not the original
