Che Harry Kim sia stato per tre volte campione di Parrises Squares all'Accademia (VOY - Tsunkatse), lo sanno anche i sassi, e questo dimostra come chiunque, ma proprio chiunque, possa vincere a questo gioco.
Anche il fatto che il giocatore klingon M'Kota R'Cho abbia fatto fuori l'arbitro durante la finale del campionato nel 2342 è cosa abbastanza nota, tanto da meritarsi un capitolo nella Klingon Timeline.
Ma volete veramente che vi elenchi i (pochi) riferimenti che si fanno al Parrises Squares nell'universo di Star Trek quando sono già brillantemente riassunti in questa pagina di ANSWERS.COM ? Potrei provare a tradurla ma preferisco evitare figuracce, così mi limito a riportarla in lingua originale.
Un riferimento off-topic al Parrises Squares si trova invece sul sito di NUWEN, ed è un "2D puzzle game": io non sono riuscita a farlo funzionare ma voi, forse, siete più bravi (o più fortunati, o più tecnologici) di me!
