William Shatner's "Vevar" was born in the late 1980s On the troubled set of "Star Trek V: Final Frontier", Film Shatner directed at the time. According to the article Retro Vision Magazine Web siteThere were many interruptions in the "Star Trek" set (thanks to the workers' strike), and Shatner's mind began to wander, with a blank creation of a universe built by his two most famous acting projects: "Star Trek" and "TJ Hooker". Without (of course) putting too much thinking about it, Shatner began writing a police story set up 200 years in the future. He focused on a police character named Jake Cardigan and Stream, a super-dependent, technologically based microchip-based drug that people use to create dangerous increased experiences in reality. These experiences are so strong that they can potentially destroy your brain.

In the first novel, which was published in 1989 and simply entitled "Vevar", Akeejk is wrong to deal with flow and cryogenically frozen four years. He was then released in the care of Walt Baskom, a well -intentioned assistant who calls on Jake to find and arrest the main mind behind the trade trade.

Tekwar was successful enough to guarantee a whole series of sequel books-all of them deserved Shatner, but written by a spirit by Rob Gulart-which were published by 1997. It also sparked spin-off "Tevourd" Marvel Comic Book Series in 1992, along with the middle profile of the US Network Network, which was in "The The Base". Greg Evigan was playing Jake. That's ... good. Nothing extraordinary but something smart. However, it was a very derivative and did not inspire much nostalgia since when it came out of the air.

Temevar also inspired a video game of CD-ROM, called "William Shatner of Vevar" in 1995. The video game was a first -person shooter and was told by Shatner himself in the character like Bascom. It was ... unique, but most people were absolutely hated.

The story of the video game "Vevar" was told through cuts at the beginning of each level, everyone in which Shatner plays. He will explain to the player's missions and send them into a complex series of tunnels in the subway that have connected the world in the game. The player was not explicitly Akeeke, protagonist "Vevar", but they played as a former Cop that served as one of Baskom's hostile agents. In the twist of most FPS games at the time, you can shoot all and all the NPC they loved in Vevar.

Of course, that kind of crippling was discouraged. Indeed, when the player drew the gun in a non-fighting scenario, the NPC will withdraw or escape, a new mechanic in 1995. If anyone could beat the game (by killing all the wicked TCLordbs) without surprising or firing civilians, Shatner would applaud their tactics. However, if anyone fired at the NPC, then they were thrown into jail in the end, and Shatner will disclose your Cavalier violence. The game also included the player to collect glyphs that they can convey in a world of virtual reality called Matrix. (Yes this game came out four years ago The birth of the "Matrix" franchise of the Vachovski sisters.) Once all the tackles are killed, the matrix can be closed, ending the worldwide worldwide system.

"William Shatner" was reviewed in Edition of Next Generation Magazine in February 1996And the exit hated him, giving him a star of five. The reviewer said it was fresh and fun that the NPC would respond to the player to draw a gun, but they were also frustrated that the NPC did not respond to the enemies in the same way. If the NPC was around during a shootout, then they would join the villain in the fight against the player, making the gamer improperly difficult. They concluded that only Shatner would enjoy it ... Maybe.

"Tekwar of William Shatner" came and went without much fanfare. It was not a hit, causing only a small wave in the world of video games. If anyone wants to experience a pixeled retrospective of the way they looked high-tech video games (high Tek?) In 1995, Can easily find game footage on the Internet.

Indeed, it can be said that the franchisee "Vevar" in general. It seemed to be more than a non-much-creative project for the vanity of his creator. Shatner, for his part, claims to have received the inspiration for "Vevar" from his own personal reliance on television. In an interview with Retro Vision, Shatner said he would use his TV to help him sleep, even if he woke up in the middle of the night. He felt like a drug and began to think about technology -based drugs. As for the name, it is difficult not to assume that Shatner just looked at the word "path" on the "Star Trek" script and simply missed a letter.

In 1997, the entire franchise "Vevar" seemed to have disappeared without a trace. The Marvel Comics series was leading its course, the TV was canceled, and the game came and is gone. Since then no one has been talking about "Vevar", except for a few fanatical paths that are interested in Shatner's auxiliary projects. "Tekwar" exists in a strange Netherrealm memory where it was successful enough to be in public awareness for several direct years, but not successful enough to stick around in any kind of important way. I wonder how many other important scientific projects have not been recorded.

Interesting, The deadline In fact, it announced that the animated adult series "Tekwar" was in the works as early as 2021. Since 2025, however, the project has yet to be achieved and can be dead together. "Vevar", we barely knew. Remember the failure of "Star Trek V" better.
