Item Description

Most space games let you fly a ship. Star Trek: The Next Generation on the Super Nintendo, subtitled Future's Past, wants you to command one. Spectrum HoloByte's 1994 adventure puts you in Captain Picard's chair aboard the Enterprise-D, investigating Romulan activity near the Neutral Zone after a distress call from a Vulcan geologist, and the trail widens into a race to understand the IFD, an ancient artifact with the power to reshape matter and energy.

The game splits its time between two very different kinds of play. On the bridge you move between stations, from the Conn and communications to engineering, the main computer and the transporter, to plot courses, consult the crew and keep the ship in one piece. When hostile ships such as the Chodak come calling, you take direct control in tactical combat, lining up phaser shots and photon torpedoes on a battle grid. When the mission calls for boots on the ground, you assemble a four-person away team from the senior officers, each rated for tactical and technical skill, strength and health, and switch between them as they explore and fight on the surface. Picking the right people for the job matters, which captures what the show did best: a crew solving problems together.

It is a slower, more thoughtful game than most of the Super Nintendo's shooters, and reviewers at the time noted its deliberate pace, but that is also its charm. The mission-by-mission structure feels like a run of linked episodes rather than a string of action levels, and a password system lets you pick the story back up where you left off.

That makes it a fascinating artifact from the height of The Next Generation's popularity, when the franchise was reaching into every corner of gaming. Sitting on the bridge with Picard's crew is the draw, and collectors of licensed SNES games will find an unusually ambitious adaptation, one that tried to capture how Star Trek plays rather than just how it looks.
