Mattel really did have great box art. Shit controllers, but great cover art and decent graphics for the time. I remember when my buddy got the voice module and B17 Bomber. When that thing talked, it was like magic.

I loved it when it came out and would definitely play through it again, but I'm not sure prettier graphics and a few tweaks is worth $60 to me. Since Nintendo doesn't let their first party games ever get down to a reasonable cost after a while, I'll skip this one, I think.

If you've never played it, though, it's a really fun game.

Boy, the AI was drinking when it made that summary.

I've never heard anyone call the OG Enterprise crew "flat." It's definitely a 60s show, but it's great. Just have fun with it.

Just finished this a couple of days ago. The ending is a bit abrupt, I thought, but I sure did enjoy the ride. I definitely feel like I got my money's worth.

Criterion released 2001 on laserdisc. They just no longer have the rights to it. (I'm old.)

A Doctor Demento classic!

Seconded by this West Virginian.

It's not bad. I think they did the best they could with the cast that is left. Character designs aren't great, but the ships and backgrounds are great. Inconsequential story, but still a welcome visit with old friends.

TIL they have Burger Kings in India. I'm guessing for the non-Hindu population? Genuinely surprised.

The main current Star Trek title has been a lot of fun, as has Defiant. The ST:TMP follow-up book hasn't been as good. Sometimes the characters don't look much like the actors. Still, IDW has been doing a good job overall with Trek, so I'm absolutely going to give this new one a chance.
