Looking for info or the origin of a paper tape
program in basic that
plays a startrek game with quadrants, stars, klingons, etc... I got it
back in the 70's from some military guys and it ran on my old computer
mainframe stuff... Just wondering if anyone recognizes this or wants
the file???
This sounds very much like the star trek game that was on the HP3000
I used at the University of Delaware circa 1978/1979.
Did it print out your quadrant map with a little ASCII graphic?
The basic program was in the People's Computer Company Magazine in the
late 70's.
You could type it in and run it in Tiny Basic. It took up about 2k memory.
I ran it using PaloAlto Tiny Basic (which was only 2k itself).
I will see if I can find my copy of the magazine if you are willing to
type it in.
In the meantime, if anyone has an electronic version, let everybody know.
