A little while ago we covered the incredible work of @SpinaSanctuary<\/a> and their Zelda 64-inspired, low-poly Star Trek creations<\/a>. The last batch focused on the crew of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/strong>, rendering them in brilliantly blocky 64-bit form with a variety of instruments \u2014 Data with his violin, Riker with his trombone, and Picard with his Ressikan flute.<\/p>\n

Now the artist has moved onto Deep Space Nine<\/strong>, the darker ‘underdog’ series in the Star Trek stable that (much like Majora’s Mask<\/a>, in fact) is all the cool kids’ favourite these days. That’s not a slight \u2014 it really is very good! \u2014 but it’s certainly taken longer for the wider Trek audience to embrace DS9 to its collective bosom with the same gusto TNG enjoyed during its run in the ’90s.<\/p>\n

As you can see in the tweet below, the first thing the artist took care of was the show’s evocative intro, complete with a 64-bit rendition of Dennis McCarthy’s main theme. Observe the introduction credits below, including the opening comet, the various graceful sweeps of the station, the appearance of the wormhole, and a swooping USS Defiant accompanying the title card reveal:<\/p>\n
