Though it seems and odd choice based on the story, but I guess that shows any story of a similar ilk that has at least enough verve could be turned into a pretty good game. <br /><br />It is funny isn't that a lot of the first scene does look like Tatooine with Jawas coming at you - I had a look at a YouTube video of someone doing gameplay, and the warp effect was quite lovely.Daruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870910268972702784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349653650482188023.post-23945498173754756692015-01-14T21:24:38.366-10:002015-01-14T21:24:38.366-10:00Well, you *can* get a cartridge of it if you *real...Well, you *can* get a cartridge of it if you *really* want one (for whatever reason): It's available as a reproduction from various merchants who deal in such things. I too have quite a thing for the NES and its library-It's in fact that familiarity that brought this game to my attention in the first place ;-)<br /><br />And look at me talking. It's not like I haven't tracked down a complete copy of the Dirty Pair game (*plus* its manga strategy guide).<br /><br />The <i>Star Trek: The Next Generation</i> game for the NES (and Game Boy, actually) is a definite. So's <i>Star Trek 25th Anniversary</i>, but I played the original PC and Macintosh version of that game instead of the console one. Both are incredibly important to me as they were the first proper Star Trek games I owned.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03828341842948036592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349653650482188023.post-77860151938265804622015-01-14T14:30:45.705-10:002015-01-14T14:30:45.705-10:00Thanks for the fun write-up on this -- I wasn'...Thanks for the fun write-up on this -- I wasn't even aware it existed. I do have a lot of love for NES games. If this were available as an actual cartridge I have to admit I would pick it up. I do have a ST: OS game for the NES (the 25th Anniversary one, IIRC) and a TNG game. Hopefully you'll tackle those, too.<br /><br />On a very very tangential side note -- Bandai also recently produced 3 different Star Trek deck building card games (2 different TNG versions, and 1 TOS) and they're all a lot of fun. FYI for all the gaming geeks out there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02290535395449898042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349653650482188023.post-77679056402487666112015-01-14T02:51:30.499-10:002015-01-14T02:51:30.499-10:00I have a certain affection for the Star Trek V DOS...I have a certain affection for the Star Trek V DOS game myself. I think I may have even beaten it once, though the whole "you get one set of photon torpedoes and one life-bar for the whole game including the levels which are in-story a 'simulation' with no refills or power-ups' thing makes that seem unlikely.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09703211229982182936noreply@blogger.com
