Star Trek freeware text game?

[Gabriel]

Yesterday I gave my PS2 Atari Anthology disc a lot of use. Mainly, I played a lot of Millipede, but I dipped into quite a few other games.

 

One of them was Stellar Track, which is an Atari 2600 version of the popular, old-school Star Trek freeware text game. I've always enjoyed this particular game and have played it on a variety of computers. My favorite version was one for the C-64 which came complete with cool color graphics and semi-passable sound effects.

 

Does anyone know of a Windows version of this game? I know the Scott Adams adventure series has survived to be played in a Windows incarnation. It would be a shame if Star Trek didn't make it as well.

Yep. There's a windows graphical version with added features called StarFleet Deluxe. Do a search on it. It was programmed by a guy named Trevor Sorenson who was co-writing it with a friend. Apparently, the friend died in an accidednt and Dr Sorenson released the game for free. Very fun stuff, with a lot of added depth.

You can also look into EGA Trek, which I personally play the hell out of

 

if I still have the zip file on my computer at home, I'll see about sending it to you.

It's not the same unless you type it in yourself.

 

Um, and save it to cassette tape.
