1751.0. "Trek a la DEC-20?" by SSDEVO::YESSE (Computing at 6200 ft.) Thu Oct 06 1988 14:37

Seeing the Star Trek special ("From one Generation to the Next") last night,
got me to thinking about this..

All you former DEC-20 users, does there exist a port of the old "Trek"
game (under Tops-20) on the Amiga? I don't mean the fancied-up versions
like VTTrek or what have you, but the 'generic' version that had, I think,
64 quadrants of the galaxy, each divided into a 10x10 square. You could
choose from 3 levels of difficulty, and gave it commmands like 'M 0 .5'
to move north half a quadrant. I never found a truly equivalent version
on the Vax. Am I ringing any bells?

If this doesn't exist on Amy, I'd be much obliged if a source were located
so I could get to work on an Amiga version. Yes, this is an oldie with no
graphics to show off, but I consider it a 'collector's item'... :-)

Thanks in advance for any help,
Keith Y. (not really a Trekkie!)

    
    I have one called VTREK (not the multi-player VTREK or VAXtrek)
    that runs on VMS. I'll look around for the sources.
    
    STARFLEET I is a nice version of the game you refer to. It uses
    the mouse for command input but it's really just a clean-up version
    with some new features. One of my favorites on the Amiga.

    One one of the games gallery disks (am I the only one who bught
    those?), there's the old TREK game, but they call it SUPERTREK.
    I think that the game is available on a Fish Disk in some form,
    although I've never really followed the FF disks because there's
    so much with new versions all the time and my mind's cluttered enough
    as is.

    Isn't there a games library on PICA, the node that hosts the GAMES
    notesfile?  Try PICA::SYS$GAMES after hours.
