Play Star Trek - The Next Generation (Germany) Online

You command a blocky Enterprise crew through clunky space battles and text choices—Picard’s pixelated diplomacy somehow works better when you just shoot first. That 8-bit theme song slaps harder than it should.

Game Overview

Star Trek: The Next Generation for the Game Boy was released in Germany in 1994, developed by Absolute Entertainment and published by Konami. It arrived during a period when handheld adaptations of major franchises often took creative liberties to fit the hardware's limitations, and this title was no exception. Players step into the role of Captain Picard and his crew, navigating the Enterprise through a series of missions that blend exploration, combat, and decision making.

You control the Enterprise on a grid based map, moving screen by screen to encounter alien vessels, away teams, and text based interactions. The main objective involves completing missions by negotiating with or engaging enemies in turn based combat, managing resources like energy and torpedoes along the way. Signature mechanics include selecting dialogue options during encounters, which influence outcomes, and strategic ship to ship battles where positioning and power allocation matter. The pacing is deliberate, with a moderate difficulty that requires careful planning rather than quick reflexes. It feels like a condensed, thoughtful interpretation of the source material, capturing the spirit of command within the constraints of the Game Boy.
