The original Star Trek television show spawned a multitude of spin-offs, and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is one of the most popular. And now it has made its way to the Sega Genesis in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Crossroads of Time. You are Commander Sisko, the officer in charge of the Deep Space Nine space station, and you're in for a rough ride. Several mysterious events have triggered panic and disruption in the everyday routine of all those aboard the station, and it's your job to figure out what's going on and put a stop to it. You'll interact with numerous characters from the show as you tackle challenging puzzles that hold the key to solving the mystery. Trekkies will be amazed at the digital reproductions of the ship, and all the popular Star Trek technology is available for use.

Help Commander Benjamin Sisko solve multiple missions spanning eight chapters, from finding explosives planted by Bajoran terrorists to saving the outpost from the Cardassians. Use your phaser to stun enemies and tricorder to locate important items – all while keeping an eye on your health.

As you explore different sectors of the station, you'll meet with several characters from the series, including Odo, Quark, Kira, Lieutenant Jadzia Dax, Dr. Julian Bashir and Chief Miles O'Brien. Making contact with these individuals is important, since each crew member will have information that can help in completing your objectives. You'll even be able to leave Deep Space Nine and pilot the Federation starship Runabout! The game also features authentic backgrounds and music lifted right from the television show.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine – Crossroads Of Time features:

• Based on the TV series
• You play Commander Sisko
• Interact will lots of characters from the show
• The entire space station has been faithfully reproduced
• Challenging puzzles will put your skills to the test

You control Commander Sisko, commander of Deep Space Nine (most of the game anyway, at some points you will get to control a couple of other characters). You always start off on Deep Space Nine, though there is no danger here, it is still challenging, because you must solve puzzles, and talk to people on the station, such as Major Kira, Odo, and even Quark, who give you information that you need before you can go onto the dangerous parts of the game. When you are on the main levels (not the station), you carry equipment like Phasers, tricorders, and more, depending on the level you are on, but you have your basic phaser and tricorder on almost every level except when on the Station. You will have to use your equipment to help you on the levels, your phaser for destroying objects and defending yourself against enemies, you also have your tricorder to take readings of objects you may come across. Naming just a couple of the things you will come across in the game, you'll have to work your way through the confusing and dangerous bajoran catacombs, battle cardassians in the lower pylon of the station, and even go back in time to Sisko's past and relive his worst memory.

The graphics are smooth, colorful, and very impressive for their time, there is barely any slow-down or choppiness when moving and the movements themselves are fluid and life-like.The sounds are pretty realistic for the in-game subjects that generate them, although that is a matter of opinion as this is a science fiction game set centuries into the future.
