Timby posted:The only TNG-era console game I can think of off the top of my head is Future's Past, which weirdly enough had a different title on the Genesis version, although I can't recall any significant differences between the two versions. The Genesis version was called Echoes From The Past, and oddly enough it actually was different in several ways. My memory sucks, but I'm pretty sure there were full dialogue trees for a lot of viewscreen conversations in the Genesis version that were for whatever dumb reason scrapped on the SNES, which meant a lot of combat was forced because you couldn't Picard your way out of battles anymore. A few of the away mission maps had alternate layouts, including the final area, which I think was completely different and/or impossible due to bad design or bugs or both. There were also some very videogamey heart-shaped health pickups and stuff on the SNES version, while I think on the Genesis you had to heal with a medical officer or just evacuate injured dudes and return with replacements. The Vulcan scientist you meet on the first mission looks completely different, like a young model on the SNES and much more elderly on the Genesis, who knows why. Of course, the SNES lacks the kickass Yamaha soundchip in the Genesis, so that's where you gotta go if you want your Star Trek as 16-Bit as possible. There was also a DS9 game on the Genesis (and probably the SNES too) called Crossroads of Time that was pretty good and maybe the only example of a Star Trek platformer.

The other was Star Trek Generations: Beyond the Nexus for the Gameboy/Gamegear and I think it was very similar to Future's Past/Echoes from the Past.

The Star Trek Generations PC game was odd and somewhat fun for a TNG era game. I recall that it had both space combat sections and these first person shooter levels which had a lot of puzzles. The neat thing about it was that you could progress the plot differently from the film. Soren might for instance take shelter with a Romulan fleet rather than with the Klingons. If you played right the Enterprise-D could survive the game. The Star Trek Insurrection game Hidden Evil however was horrid, basically a poor knock off of Resident Evil. It was supposed to be a direct sequel to the film and had a rather incoherent plot involving the aliens from The Chase hiding a super weapon under the Ba'ku planet.

I played Star Trek Ascendancy tonight. It's pretty fun, but you'll need to block out a decent amount of time to play. I really like the way you assemble the galaxy map. I'm glad I picked it up at Gen Con. I'll get some pictures of the game sometime next week.

Finished my first rewatch of Enterprise S2 since it originally aired. Better than S1, still kinda bland and rehashing old plots without enough of a new twist to justify it (ANOTHER transporter accident episode on a Star Trek series). The Borg episode wasn't as bad as I remember. The finale tries really hard to be Star Trek: Event Horizon (Klingons turned inside out! Vulcans eating each other!) with a touch of 9/11. Overall still pretty enjoyable if nothing special. I gather S3 marks the change to more action-oriented, and I was only half watching when it originally aired so some of this should be new. Also, what the hell happened to the theme song in S3? I never hated the original one, but this upbeat twangy version is really drat weird.

All of the music in Enterprise sucks, even the incidental stuff. That includes the dumb generic stuff they used for In A Mirror, Darkly.

The same thing that happened to DS9's but even worse. We hear you complained about the theme song, so just as you've come to appreciate it, we'll alter it for the worse. For the record, I now like DS9 and VOY instrumental openings the best of any series, but the later season DS9 faster theme with pointless lovely buzzing poo poo was a mystifying change. Also, I never really minded Faith of the Heart, and think it was a decent accompaniment to the visuals and original intent of the prequel.

I've got an odd question: In Siskos office, you can see a NASA space station with shuttle orbiter berthed to it. First guess would say ISS, but seeing as DS9 started quite some time before they began to start chucking up the first modules I'm not so sure. Could it be the "Freedom" design they were putting together in the 80s? Looking at what few pics I can find on Google image search, it certainly looks more like Freedom. (I want that goddamn model)

Do you have a picture of it? The ISS was in planning for several years, so there was probably a design available.

Also don't forget that the shuttle visited Mir 11 times, all of them while DS9 was in production.

 Looks more like Freedom. You can make out alot of striking similarities, and in your picture there's no evidence of zvezda or zarya modules. E: Space Station Freedom was abandoned, and the idea for the ISS was taken on the same year. Falken fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Aug 15, 2016 |

That station model is the 1987 Freedom baseline, but with independently moving solar arrays instead of paired ones.

Dirty posted:Yes, I had this, and had totally forgotten until just now. That was a pretty fun game. Shattered Universe. Yeah Shattered Universe that's the one. It was pretty fun crippling that space Amoeba and disrupting the Tholian web. I also remember a TNG style space fighter game, I only had the demo and it was one of those annoying you only have five minutes to play the game PS1 demo's, so can't recall the name or if it was any good. Barlow posted:
Oh this one, a mate of mine lent me it, he was in no hurry to get it back, it was just awful. The only interesting thing was that it managed to combine the worst parts of Resident Evil, terrible controls and naff puzzles etc, but didn't balance it with interesting monsters.

She probably got wind of it and blew a gasket. Apparently Kate Mulgrew was pretty lovely about Jeri Ryan during production. You're the first woman Captain. You're the star of the show. Production brings in a bodacious babe in a skin tight suit and gives her half decent stories where the rest of the show is pretty UGH.
