re: #187 OldLineTexan

I played “Star Trek” on a teletype system linked to a Hitachi clone of an IBM mainframe … when the “Computer Algebra” teacher wasn’t looking, of course.

Yes, mostly on a DECSystem-10, but that was in college.

And I wrote a different Star Trek game for an IBM 1130; it would print the range and bearing of a Klingon ship and you would type in whether to fire phasers or photon torpedoes and what angle.
Then the ship would move, and you’d repeat it until you or the Klingon were destroyed.
I still have the deck of computer cards in my basement, but they probably have absorbed enough moisture not to go through card readers, assuming I could find one, and get a FORTRAN compiler, and actually want to play it.
