20 Things You Didn't Know About Star Trek Generations
4. Kirk Can Be Saved In The Video Game Ending
A video game based on the movie and bearing the very same title was released for PC in May 1997, some six months after Generations' movie sequel First Contact had actually been released. Oops.
The game was a first-person shooter which touted the novel feature of allowing players to effectively save Kirk's life and prevent his controversial demise.
While you can have things play out as in the movie if you so wish, you're also able to capture Soran before he visits Veridian III and defeat his starship, preventing the Enterprise-D's destruction and in turn negating Kirk's death.
In this scenario, Kirk isn't actually involved in the game's story and is presumed to simply remain safe and happy within the Nexus.
