Okay, so Star Trek: Starfleet Academy on SNES is one of those weird early '90s attempts to make Star Trek work as an action game. You start off in this clunky side-scroller where you're running around phasering Klingons and solving super basic puzzles—think "push the crate onto the button" level of complexity. The sprites are chunky, the controls are stiff, and the voice clips sound like they were recorded through a tin can.

But here’s the thing: it’s got this weird charm if you’re into retro Trek. The soundtrack actually nails that TNG vibe, and some of the mission briefings feel like a lost episode. Just don’t expect Deep Space Nine levels of storytelling—it’s more like "shoot the alien, find the keycard" with a Starfleet badge slapped on it. If you’re a hardcore Trekkie with nostalgia for janky SNES games, it’s a fun time capsule. Otherwise, maybe stick to the shows.
