gizaWay back in about 1988 or so, I got a Nintendo Entertainment System for Christmas. I also got a few games that Christmas. One was the really awesome Legend of Zelda, which I still own. One of the other not-so-awesome games that I got was Star Voyager. This POS game had you flying around the cosmos, trying to fight off Bob Sagets aliens that were hell bent on wiping you out.
I found the game hard to understand, hard to play, and impossible to win, no matter how much time I spent on strategy and weapons. It seems that I was not alone, for someone else went to the time and trouble to do a review on the game:
It's amazing how much cooler the game gets when clips from Spaceballs are thrown in, along with the theme music from Benny Hill. And, having played the game extensively, everything the reviewer says about it is 100% true.
One thing the reviewer did leave out was the "Nova Bomb". This item, when acquired, will supposedly let you wipe out an entireBob Saget alien fleet. The bad news is that you were never told how to actually use it. All you were given was a cryptic message that said, "Activate Nova Bomb with controller 2". No additional details were given, and I never did figure out how to use that damn thing...
