Earl Grey 95: awayteamnospace

Echoes from the Past.

When it comes to Star Trek-based video games, there are many
hits, misses, and self-destructs. In 1994, Star Trek: The
Next Generation came to the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo
(SNES) video game consoles. Daniel, Darren, and Phillip fire up
their Sega Genesis emulators and discuss the game play of "Echoes
from the Past." From the graphics, bridge mechanics, "awayteam"
adventures, ship battles, and solving puzzle after endless
puzzle, this game captures many TNG elements, including
a storyline that resembles the season six episode "The
Chase." 

Earl Grey also discusses the game's music, what could have
been improved, and how it compares to its sister game, SNES'
"Future's Past." They also debate how it compares to 21st century
Trek-based games, whether "Echoes from the Past" is a "must play"
for die-hard Next Gen-ers, and why the tactical station on
the NCC-1701-D needs to be in a different spot. Fire up
your emulators, meet Captain Picard in his darkened ready room,
and join this episode about Sega Genesis' "Echoes from the
Past."
