The Genesis game friggin nailed the title sequence and theme song. Amazing still to this day. And the graphics overall were just phenomenal for the era.

Who else read the entire computer library and learned some real world stuff?

I dread mines. I spent so much time I actually mapped out all the levels. Even when you fell through holes I knew where you would end up.

The mines long haunted me as a kid, I'd always get lost and I never got past it back then. I need to go back to this game and overcome it.

I remember saving up to buy a used copy of this game after my sister and I got a Sega Genesis for Christmas. It was the first game other than Sonic 2 that came with the console I had for a long time. I spent days and says trying to get passed the mine level and never could for a long time until one day at the grocery store I noticed a video game magazine on the shelf that had this game on the cover and I had to beg my mom to buy it for me that day but it had helpful hints and tips to get through the mine mission but I never did finish the whole game until about 15 years ago with a Genesis emulator on my PC where I could save more often and had an online walkthrough to help.

I love that they just mirrored half of Picard's face for some reason.

I remember when I was a kid I had asked my father to bring home grid paper so I could do that damned vanishing floor puzzle on the last level

That mirrored image of Picard's head is frighteningly cursed.

To this day I still love this game!

I love how detailed it was for a Genesis game

I remember calling a video game helpline to get through those mines!

See, this is how you do Star Trek. Some combat, but not all combat. A mix of that with puzzels and team selection. Make sure the plot includes a mystery to solve. I wish there were more games like this. Though I agree the controls look terrible.

the music was perfectly done. I played this game so many times...

I remember this game so well from my childhood, it still influences me. I love it so much!

I played this a lot back in the day on my Genesis. Thanks for taking the time to make and upload this long play. Lots of good memories. Subscribed 😃

I love the space combat music in this game. It randomly gets stuck in my head

This game can be a nightmare IF you dont get the space combat down as well as the diplomacy. For the combat - Spread your resources across all systems with a bias to the top three, and LEAVE it that way. Only redivert said resources if you take heavy damage. Once in battle GET AND STAY MOVING. Ent-D can go fast in a straight line and pivot on the spot relatively well, but maneuvers like a bloody aircraft carrier - keep up your speed and wobble left to right. Hold the phaser fire button down at all times. Use your torpedoes sparingly, you can to go to a starbase to reload them but it can be a PITA to find the three bases. Basically, save em for when you get a clear clean shot and then spam em. On your first visit to the mine, lead with LaForge. He can see the minerals you will need later - 12 of each IIRC. You 'can' use Troi by her lonesome to not get mauled by the worms, BUT she cant see crap. Take your time, keep your phaser handy, go slow, avoid the wood floors as the can have holes in em,and go level by level. The only real catch is the forth, as the top and bottom levels are divided north from south, IIRC. Using LaForge will save a second trip to this dive. xD All in all, probably the BEST overall console installation of a Trek game bar none.

DUDE! I can't believe that entire Mine stage took an entire *30-fucking-minutes* to finish! No wonder I never finished it, that thing takes like one sixth of the entire game to finish! D:

Remember playing this game alot as a kid could never get past the mines asked my mom and unlce to help me think we made it one time but forgot to save it lol

Feeling comforted by the comments, that I wasn't the only kid who couldn't get past the mines lol

Excellent game play ideas. Crew/Ship management, adventure, space combat, dialogue (and a compelling story), high fidelity to the source material, excellent sound effects and graphics... It needs fine tuning; for instance, the frequency of space combat is way too high, and the controls are poor. But overall, I feel that with nowadays' technology, there is the potential to make a fantastic game. Imagine if we kept most of the concepts here, and had action sequences like the Shadowrun games as well as a redone, possibly turn-based space combat: that'd be a game I'd love to play.

I like your approach, "Kill 'em all, and let Sha Ka Ree sort 'em out". Still one of my favourite Trek games, still play it.

This was cool to see. This game was the first I ever played on console back then when I first got a SG. it is like a boarder line of free play since you can travel where ever, and yet a main story line to fallow. I had replayed it I think 5 times. Explored the heck out of it, trying different ways to play it. For me it was just fun. Would be nice to play it again on the PC, but I can't find a way. And it is hard to get the system for only one game besides the cartridge. But watching this was cool. Thing that stuck with me the most? The midi play for the miner rescue. That midi music really sinks in, lol!

Ohhh man I remember playing this on Super NES back in the day.

This version is definitely better than the Snes version futures past in my opinion.

I personally thought there were some advantages with each version like how you can have Doctor Crusher heal in the SNES version, and having better music; but the Genesis version was always superior in the fact that you have to be diplomatic most of the time making it slightly easier. The mines also had the advantage in the SNES version where you can collect less ore than the genesis, but had the problem with turning on the vent every level. Never was a fan of those mines as it felt like a chore. Best thing was to always get the miners and ore on Genesis on the first visit.

What an awesome game, never heard of this before.

You know there’s different dialogue options when talking to the Romulans? You don’t HAVE to fight every Warbird you encounter!

That intro was amazing for the Tim

Not gonna lie Captain Picard was a little arrogant in this game towards the Romulans 😂

going to invest in this title

Captain's log stardate 35428.2: By my estimate, we've destroyed over 1/3 of the combined Romulan fleet. Despite the 30th incursion into the neutral zone by their vessels today, neither the Romulan Senate or the Federation Council considers this to be a war. I do admit that many of these altercations could have been solved diplomatically, but I have been in a foul mood ever since the computer file for Earl Grey tea was corrupted. Generally, a Galaxy class cruiser like the Enterprise would be hard pressed to defeat even one Romulan Warbird. Taking on two would be nearly suicidal. Fortunately, acting Ensign Crusher has recently perfected his technique of making the Enterprise "drift" at impulse speeds. The Romulans seemingly have no counter for this behavior. I would put Mr. Crusher in for a commendation, but I believe I'll just refrain from telling him to shut up today. The alarm klaxon is sounding again, time to destroy another Warbird.

I first played this game back in the mid 90s. I got through the derelict ship mission OK but I truly got stuck on the mining moon mission. And I could never defeat the Romulan Warbird in ship combat, but I was able to beat the Romulan scoutships. And for a while I was not aware there were choices in the dialogue sections and what you said would affect whether you'd get into a ship battle or not. It turns out that I'm not very good at games like this, I prefer ones that are more straightforward and not as complicated. But the graphics and music were cool, and I liked playing as the TNG characters. I especially loved looking up Trek info in the Enterprise-D computer!

how cool was this game its was so full of content

The first mission saving the Vulcan doctor has a resemblance to Dr. Pulaski.

if theres one thing i remember about playing this game as a kid it was hating that mine tunnel mission..........

I had this on snes and loved it. I would totally play it on Sega too though

When ppl complain about Starfield i point to this gem of a game. New gen of gamera have no idea how good they got it! 😂✌️🥰

Plenty of Contact with, The Romulans

THANK YOU so much for posting this, much appreciation.

hello! i am new here!! i will watch this later😊👍

I was 10 when this came out. I still remember the part I couldn't get past. There was rocks blocking a door and I would zap with a phaser and it would collapse on me. Don't think I ever finished this game

The underground puzzle was too much. I kept on getting lost. No map either.

I see Sega Genesis content, I like and subscribe.

Ahhhhh so that's what the rest of the game looked like. I kind of gave up around the mines. It got old after a while. Could have been so much better

It's Not Always Easy to Avoid The Neutral Zone

I played this on my snes

There was a TNG game for Mega Drive??? 😱 How did I miss this? My childhood is forfeit. Edit: After watching the video I feel like I didn’t miss out on much 😂

This Game confused the hell out of me as a kid, now as an adult I realize Sega made these games for Adults mostly.

This was a fun game

Why are you insisting on keeping your bow towards the warbird when your shields are down in that section. Your aft weapons are more than sufficient

I guess you have to pick Number 1 for the first beam down

this looks so cool. i wish i played it growing up but i'm sure it was too much text for a 10 year old

is there a hidden borg misson?

That's the hardest game I ever played and I still have the game

I noticed in the ships computer they had info about Klingons and borg ships , is their anyway that the Klingons and borg could be in the game?

The only thing holding this game back, is that F@#$ing Mine Mission, which wasn't even all that relevant to the plot and reeks of "Throw it in so folks can't rent the game and beat it over the weekend."

Can you actually talk down the Romulans that show up? In the beginning it looks like they turn hostile no matter what.

Hoping someone sees this as it's been driving me mad, when you send a team down now do you actually attack? I'm walking round unable to shoot.

Will your health start to decline if you start picking up the ore too early?

02:25:20 Nice Party Setup! Looks like Joe Rogan, Mark Zuckerberg, Mr. T, and some other guy are going to save the day!

Nice video.

It's ridiculous how much content they managed to pack into a Genesis cart.

Star Trek - The Next Generation - Echoes from the Past Publisher: Sega of America Developer: Atari Interactive / Paramount Digital Entertainment

Why does T'Laris look smoking hot in the SNES version?

I would always die on the first planet, for the life of me I couldn't survive a phaser fight.

1:32:16 - Miner, or United States Colonial Marine?

Loved this game, but god in heaven I hated that mine level

@23:47 relavent to today.

i can never get past the oriens gama 3b misson

Sega Genesis, Full Playthrough/Walkthrough

I remember playing this when I was quite young, seemed like a solid game though I don't recall being much good at it.

Star Trek Deep Space Mines

Dr T'Laris looks way better in the SNES version. HERE, she looks like some old lady that got left behind

dang the romulans are even bigger assholes on the genesis also lol, even the borg will heed to the chodak!

Repair the ship when orbiting a planet.

lol you picked all the hostile responses to the rom interactions.

Any TAS of this exist?

There any difference from the SNES star trek game to the sega one?

1:36:12 poor troi

Sega metal makes Star Trek better

Always take down ensigns on landing parties - someone needs to be the one to die

Jesus, wonder what Vinny Vinesauce thinks of this.

The space combat looks like it controls terribly. Correction, this whole game looks terrible.

looks like the game is as boring as the tv show.

An awful game, just like the TV show.
