The bridge of the 'Star Trek' Mansion

Entrepreneur and producer Marc Bell helmed this replica of the bridge of the U.S.S. Enterprise in his Boca Raton, Fla., home for years. Now it's looking for a new captain. The only qualification is being able to afford the $35 million price tag.  Click through for a quick tour of the mansion's geekiest features.

Almost Ten Forward

It's not quite Ten Forward, but this is Florida, where people come for the sunshine, not the replicas of dim bars from the future.  And really, doesn't it make more sense to have a small bar right off the bridge? Picard would approve. Note the '"U.S.S. Bell" insignia in the upper left.

Going both ways

Here we see that Bell is playing for both teams, sporting both "Star Wars" memorabilia, and some sweet Vulcan-style foam hands.

Game on

No geek should be without a great game room. This one is actually a converted ballroom -- no one has time to go to the ball when you're busy saving the universe.

Keep playing

Here's some insight into Bell's priorities -- the listing for the mansion doesn't provide photos of all bedrooms, but we get multiple angles of the game room.

Pinball wizard

Wait, there's still more games! The pinball machines are all "Star Trek" and "Star Wars," of course.

Ahoy! Bedtime!

The Bell Mansion's geeky credibility also displays impressive range. When you're tired of the future, you can always retreat to a pirate galleon.

Below deck

When obeying the prime directive gets boring, you can come down to this Call of Duty room for a little more action.

Don't judge a mansion...

From outside, the home is much like Bell himself: a geek wrapped in the trappings of wealth. I wonder is he would take just $5 million for the geek wing of the house? Crowdfunding campaign anyone?
