Overview and Gameplay
Commander Benjamin Sisko investigates a crisis around Deep Space Nine, Bajor, and Cardassian activity in this side-scrolling action-adventure based on the TV series. The game mixes station exploration, dialogue, item use, platforming, phaser combat, tricorder scanning, runabout flying, and story objectives instead of score chasing.
Controls And Mechanics
- Exploration: characters move through rooms, climb ledges, operate lifts, talk to crew members, and search for mission items.
- Inventory: phasers, tricorders, cards, and other tools are selected and used to solve objectives.
- Character sections: Sisko handles most missions, Kira pilots a runabout, and Odo uses shapeshifting during infiltration.
- Progress: health, timed hazards, passwords, and item puzzles drive advancement.
- Mode: single-player only, with no alternating, versus, simultaneous, or co-op multiplayer.
Version Notes
This is the European PAL SNES release, published by Virgin Interactive. It is not the Genesis or Mega Drive version, and progress uses passwords rather than battery saving.
