Star Trek: Generations

Star Trek: Generations
Developer: MicroProse Publisher: MicroProse Platform: Windows Released internationally: May 21, 1997 This game has unused animations. This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused models. This game has unused sounds. This game has unused text. This game has hidden bonus content.

To do: Make a Prerelease page with the screenshots from an archive of MicroProse's website. They feature things that don't appear in the final game.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

A movie adaptation that came out three years late.

Unused Graphics

Unused Object Images

On away missions, objects of interest appear at the bottom of the screen for interaction. Some objects had graphics made for that purpose, but went unused.

• 

  Arvada; crystals most likely to be found in the mines

• 

  Arvada; some sort of coal-like substance which does appear, but not actually interactable

• 

  Arvada

Combadges

Combadges cannot be dropped, but they nevertheless have a graphic for them.

• 

  Federation (appears as a black-and-white version in the manual)

• 

  Romulan

• 

  Klingon

Early Phaser

An early version of the phaser as seen from the player's perspective.

Unused Borders

Apparently, the small window borders were to be unique to each away mission, but that was scrapped and supplanted by a single LCARS border. Not all levels have an associated unused border, though.

Alternate Alternate Ending

If, in the final mission aboard the Enterprise, you manage to kill Soran but die before you get to the escape pod, you would get a message like this:

For whatever reason, this was replaced with a standard text crawl and a different version of the Game Over music.
