Star Voyager NES is a first-person space shooter developed by ASCII and published in North America by Acclaim in September 1987. You fly from inside a spaceship's cockpit to defend a refugee transport from an enemy fleet. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
Star Voyager first came out in Japan as Cosmo Genesis on December 23, 1986. ASCII Corporation developed it, and Acclaim Entertainment published the North American release.
Your job is to protect the CosmoStation Noah, a transport carrying refugees, from the Molok Wardrivers fleet. The whole game is played from the first-person view of your ship's cockpit.
Space is laid out as a 10x10 grid that is randomized each game. You and the Noah start in the top left, and the first enemy fleets begin in the bottom right. Fuel crystals drain over time and drain faster when you warp or take damage, so you must stop at space stations to refuel.
Star Voyager is part shooter and part strategy. You read the sector grid, warp toward enemy fleets and fight them in cockpit view. Every warp and every hit costs fuel, so a good route passes space stations along the way. Because the grid changes each game, no two runs start the same.

The most frustrating fun you’ll have with your NES
I got this game when I was very little. I couldn’t figure out how to play it. Never the less, I was addicted.
Now I’m 22 and it is still one of my top 5 favorite games of all time. But why??
The graphics are, well, they aren’t great.
The game play is rough.
The game is freaking hard!
It’s impossible to beat.
It’s hard to figure out what’s going on.
But you know what?? It doesn’t matter. I still love this game. You fart around in space for awhile, landing on planets and (maybe) meeting an alien who’ll give you a toy. Then the mother ship calls for help and you can try and go save her (and probably die doing it) or you can keep farting around until, out of nowhere, you get a message that the game is over because the mother ship is destroyed. That’s basically it.
I’d say for the price I see above ($2.50) it’s a hell of a bargain, but don’t buy it expecting to be blown away by the graphics, plot of the game, or anything else, for that matter. But I really have a lot of fun playing it.
