Star Trek Generations: Beyond the Nexus [GB] - Real Time Longplay (No death)

Описание: This is a, no commentary, Longplay of Star Trek Generations: Beyond the Nexus for Game Boy, released in 1994. It is based on homonym movie, so I'm not going into detail regarding the plot.

The game consists of a series of mini-games that repeat each other. There are 5 in total, the part where you control a spacecraft trying to annihilate the opponents, the mini-game where you have to match the frequency by placing the correct items at the appropriate locations, the part where you have to navigate the spaceship through a series of squares, the mini-game where you have to fix the electric circuit by joining the appropriate parts, and a top-bottom mini-game where you control Kirk trying to accomplish an objective. There are no difficulty settings, only a password screen to resume the game. There are no health pickups or 1UPs, once you lose it's game over sending you to start screen. There is also no score table for points. Note that to see the real ending you have to input Farragut in password, to defeat Soren by...matching the frequency!

Regarding the game itself, graphics are very basic even for Game Boy standards. Music is absent during some missions and only a few tracks play for the rest. Sound effects are poor as well. There are no pickups to collect. Replayability is minimal, after completing the game you go back to main screen, no reward or NG+ mode. Gameplay is very boring, the spaceship missions take a lot of time to complete (health of alien spaceships is quite high) and you lost yourself trying to find the opponents, mini-map is also rubbish. The rest of mini-games are also very repetitive and boring. What disturbed me the most is the walking/running speed of Kirk, it moves like a turtle, making these mini-games very difficult. As for difficulty, I would say it's average/high, but for all the wrong reasons; unresponsive controls, slow movement and some weird bugs.

In short, Star Trek Generations: Beyond the Nexus is a poor game, rashly made to accompany the theater release, very repetitive and quite short in length. Quite happy I managed to do a no death run.
