Old Trek is an adaption of the 1970s era Star Trek game. As much as possible, the old Basic interface has been preserved.
Excellent support
I reported a minor issue, and the developer fixed it and responded within a month. Thanks very much!
Nice retro game - cursor visibility issue
I’ve been playing this off and on for a couple of years. It’s a cool retro game - much like one of the very first computer games I played in the late 70s using a Decwriter, connected over a 300 baud acoustic modem… Unfortunately, the latest update to fix the night mode rendered the cursor invisible on the day mode.
Still doesn’t work
Developer said to press the Help button. It doesn’t work.
Good implementation of the Classic game
A good implementation of the Classic dumb terminal mainframe Star Trek simulation. Full feature set. Not the simplistic version David H Ahol published in the old creative computing magazine.
Not bad but lacking
Playable, fun, but getting bored after only two games. I’ll have to look for my dos version that is near perfect. This one appears to lack romulans, klingon commanders, super commanders, planets, dilithium chrystals, shuttle craft, transporter, death ray, tribbles...and couldn’t you add some text message when you die, like “...the Federation will be destroyed!!!” Rather than “RAN OUT OF TIME - CANNOT CONTINUE”. Seems like the programmer got bored of the project. Worth every penny of 99 cents, LOL
Not Complete
While a pretty good recreation of the original ascii game, all you do is move and shoot Klingons. No Romulans, no planets or mining, no docking with Starbases and it’s a different movement scheme. But not the full game by any stretch of the imagination. I was playing it in 1980 at Junior College listening to “Funkytown” by Lipps, Inc. There’s some trivia for you which is more useful than this game.
Great Old Time Game
This game brought back a lot of memories playing it on an Apple 2E with amber screen. Some things the developer could add to this game that would make it out of this world is the sounds. There are plenty of Star Trek ring tones, from the Apple store, that a user could load into the game and use if it were written in the code. Maybe make a sounds settings button to load from there. It would make it way cool.
Cursor problem in light mode corrected.
