I've been playing thru the avgn episode games for jokes and Star Trek on NES is surprisingly good. The graphics and sound is awesome and they do a perfect job of recreating the experience of watching the original series. While this is its greatest strength, it is also its greatest weakness. It doesnt quite feel like a game, more like a hybrid between a game and watching Star Trek, so after a level or two the novelty wears off and you dont want to play anymore. Kinda like when you're watching Star Trek and after an episode or two you want to do something else. Very faithful indeed.
