"It's a FAKE!!!" - Morn

[@WrestlingWithGaming]

As a HUGE trek fan, I'm so glad you covered these. For me, the GOAT Star Trek game is Star Trek The next generation: a final Unity for PC. The whole cast provides their voices and it's just a great, classic 90s point and click game. It's like playing a ten hour TNG episode. I played the heck out of Future's Past as a teenager. Like you said, if you're a fan of TNG you'll enjoy it. Otherwise, you probably won't. The combat is really clunky. If you ever do a drunk friend star trek episode please bring me back. I'm obsessed with all Trek and will talk your head off 😅 Sisko's run cycle always killed me. Like, I get that he plays baseball but maybe he should've gone into track and field instead lol. Great video and really spot on reviews imo

[@KasumiKenshirou]

I had that "Final Unity" game. There was a certain part I got to where I couldn't figure out what to do and then I just stopped playing it. There was also a TOS game in production at one point that had the voices of the original cast, but it never came out: "The Secret of Vulcan Fury". All that's left is a trailer. What I heard is that the company went bankrupt and then destroyed all their computers, so the game will probably never be found. 😟

[@FurrySpatula]

I had a final unity. We beat it by accident on the final screen when uou have the tablet we wanted to save before we made our choice and put the tablet down and well game ending hahaha

If I remember correctly, many of the no-name random ensigns were reviewers or staff from a gaming magazine called “Game Players” I had a subscription when I was younger and thought that was really neat when I read that detail in the game’s review

[@thecunninlynguist]

do you remember why/how they got featured?

[@mrmusickhimself]

I loved Game Players, I remember Bill Donahue vividly. I miss gaming magazine personalities like Scary Larry from GamePro and Sushi X from EGM. Although, Game Players gave Earthbound a 55-65 percent score, and even back then, that's crazy. The magazine had a great sense of humor though.

[@JScribe]

Did they give the game a great review? If so, no conflict of interest there 😅

[@PJ_McPhizzle]

@@JScribe I don’t remember the details of the review, just that out of all the magazines I could’ve had a subscription to, this one gained some points for me after reading that.

8:31 The thing about Morn's removed dialoge is that the programmers really had no other choice but to cut it, but do not worry, it is not lost, since all the dialogue of Morn was sold to other video companies at the time and 12 extensive role playing games have been developed that had been filled with it easily.

We must be around the same age. My parents also watched the OG Star Trek from the 60's, and we watched TNG and DS9 religiously as they aired too. Also, my best friend through elementary and high school was an absolute Trekkie, so some of his passion rubbed off on me. Also, you got me to laugh at "C's get degrees" and "Resistance isn't futile, it's encouraged" LOL.

That Morn joke was tip top.

[@raggededge82]

"You'd have to be a massive Star Trek fan with a lot of patience to sink any meaningful time into this one." So... this was 100% me and my friend back in 1996ish. We used to rent Starfleet Academy almost every weekend from the local video store, and once you get used to the combat it's actually a ton of fun. Plus there are a ton of easter eggs accessible with codes, you can play as extra ships, and select extra names from secret menus. If you enter the name James T. Kirk, the Kobayashi Maru mission is winnable.

[@Cellfix]

THIS!!!

[@rpgaholic8202]

I even remember reading the Kobayashi Maru book where each of the main Enterprise crew had recounted their take on the infamous scenario and had hoped that each of their ideas from that book would have been in there, sadly the only one I remember from that book working was Sulu's refusal to enter the Neutral Zone, which was the standard one available to all players. You specifically had to play as Kirk and have a password with him already at 100% to get the best score by beating the Kobayashi Maru to get the best ending.

When I played the TNG game as a kid I always laughed so hard when I found out you could phaser the scientist you're supposed to rescue at the beginning of the game. I also destroyed the Romulan ship even though they were hailing to cease fire. Always loved seeing the Enterprise going to warp too. I'd reset the game over and over just for that intro.

[@marsindustries]

I still have my Starfleet Academy cartridge, I was about 10 or 11 when it came out so I loved it. I mostly remember ignoring the missions and just playing simulation battles, haha.

That screenshot from the PC version of Starfleet Academy brought back some memories. I loved that game as a kid. I never played the SNES one, seems like I'm not missing much but I played a lot of the PC version. I loved the combat in that game and I remember spending a lot of time just playing the battle mode or whatever it was and pitting different groups of random ships against each other and just messing around with the different ships.

[@travisswiger9213]

Loved Future's Past. It was a annual rental when i went to the beach. The beach video store had games my local Ma and Pop store didn't have.

3:25 “Ensign” Ed Semrad was the editor in chief of Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine. It also explains why the SNES port of ST:TNG Future’s Past got a better rating over the superior Sega Genesis version in EGM.

[@AviFagan]

Your assessment of Starfleet Academy is spot on, and I was 100% the target audience for it. Great concepts and ambition, but the PC version was light years better. Better still was the PC sequel, Klingon Academy, which they somehow got Christopher Plummer and David Warner (General Chang and Chancellor Gorkon from Star Trek 6) to record some FMV cutscenes for. Klingon Academy boasted improvements in every aspect, it's kind of a forgotten gem at this point. But while Starfleet Academy for SNES was deeply flawed, I still consider it the best of the SNES Star Trek games.

My dad taped every episode of Star Trek after he bought a VCR in the 80s. It was a library of treasure until DVD and streaming. My Dad still has them, but they have probably degraded significantly. We haven't check any of them in about 20 years now. He was missing a few episodes of TOS, since in those days syndicated shows were not played in release order. When DVD finally came out it was like getting brand new episodes. Playing as Scotty 2 Hotty in a Star Trek game? I'm sold. lol

"Good Star Trek games exist, insightful lines of dialogue from Counselor Troi..." "Things that are rare!"

[@rcslyman8929]

Future's Past was definitely good from a fan standpoint. There's a couple reasons why there are extra crewmen that are selectable for the Away Team. First, if one of the "main cast" is injured on an Away mission, you can switch to another crew member to fill out a needed role, as the "main cast" officer will not be available until the next mission. While not as skilled (or durable) as a "main cast" officer, they will at least allow you to complete a mission if a particular skill is needed. Second, you actually have a life counter in the game that revolves around the "main cast" (which you showed at the end of the segment). While they will be revived after a mission is complete, if any of the "main cast" are injured a total of three times (this is shared for all seven of them) during Away missions, the game is over. The random crewmembers do not add to the counter, but they do not get revived. They are just red shirts, and if they go down before the first commercial break, they are never talked of again.

My brother and I got TNG along with our SNES for Christmas 1994, and for 9 year old me, TNG was a fun idea, but the amount of information available was overwhelming. This is also one of those games where you need the instruction manual to know how to play. Then there was the Derelict Ship. We got stuck there because we had no idea what to do.

[@rcslyman8929]

That was the one you absolutely needed LaForge and Data, to be able to see anything. Which always impressed me that they took Geordi's VISOR into account as a game design mechanic. There was another mission later on in a mine, that you had to beam down with only Data at first, because the ventilation systems weren't functioning. Any other crewman than goes down, will asphyxiate in a short amount of time. I believe there's enough time that, if you can move quick enough through the absolute maze of tunnels, you can start the vents in time before they are completely injured. Still easier just to beam down, start the vents, beam back up, then bring down the full Away Team.

I have all these games but on the Sega consoles. If I remember correctly, for Starfleet Academy on 32X, there was a way to do the Kobayashi Maru mission at the end. I forgot how, but you could either save your game as James T. Kirk or whatever, and if you did that and played the last level you could cheat like Kirk did.

[@EdRopple]

If I remember right, Picard is special in Future's Past because he's the only one aside from Worf who has a phaser that shoots on 'kill', but you instantly lose if he gets downed (unlike other characters where I think you get three).

Fun fact regarding Star Trek Starfleet Academy. The SNES version doesn't have a specific helper chip to assist in the polygon rendering. That is why the view screen is so small as so it would be easier for the SNES to display everything in a somewhat reasonable frame rate.
