Looks like an interesting game, would love to explore the final frontier, battle Klingons, Romulans, are the Gorn included? Not many people know that Star Trek was a big game influence on old computers. Remember that thing they did with a grid, had to scan, locate the Klingons, etc. It was done in Basic and ran on mainframes and early micros that predate the Atari 800 and Apple II. Someone should do a history of Star Trek games.

I ran across a Star Trek game web page that had a fairly complete history of the game a few years ago but I don't know if it's still around.

 

Lance Micklus had one of the best if not the best variation on the theme IMHO.

I first played it on the TRS-80 Model I (first published in Softside Magazine if I remember right) and later versions got better and better.

I think his last port was for the Tandy CoCo which he claimed was the best version.

I had a Coco and to this day I've never played the coco version.
