    I never knew these games existed (though it would have been a moot point since I owned neither a SNES nor a Genesis back then), but they sound hilariously similar to “Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Final Unity”, which Spectrum Holobyte released on CD-ROM in ’95 (the Chodak even show up again!), and which I played the ever-living shit out of. Thanks for the memories!

      A Final Unity can definitely be seen as a bigger-budget reboot/reimagining of Future’s Past and Echoes from the Past that takes advantage of the new CD-ROM technology. I’ll be getting to that eventually!

    I didn’t know the Chodak turned up here first. I think I squealed in delight when they turned up in the (not very good) Generations videogame.
