Star Trek (https://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/index.htm#StarTrek)
For this month's "Maps Of The Month" featurette, I wish to draw your attention to KingKuros's Star Trek (NES) maps.
"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."
The Star Trek franchise celebrates its 50th anniversary this month! The original series premiered on September 8. 1966. Between then and now, a few games were made to celebrate its 25th anniversary, including this NES game. Though the in-game title is just "Star Trek", the full title on the box is "Star Trek: 25th Anniversary", but not to be confused with the PC and Game Boy games of the same name.
In the NES game, while the Enterprise investigates the Sigma Iotia system - featured in the original series' second-season episode, "A Piece Of The Action" - they encounter a tear in space-time. You will join the Enterprise's crew in investigating at least four planets, to over a dozen. KingKuros has got you covered, no matter where you boldly go!
So to recognize the effort put into exploring strange new worlds, KingKuros's Star Trek (NES) maps will be known as VGMaps.com's Maps Of The Month for September 2016.
