Video Game History Project Review
Star Trek ’73
Star Trek ’73 at Deviant Art. For historical accuracy, it is worth noting that the general public typically wasn’t allowed anywhere near The Computer, especialy a nice PDP 11 (maybe a PDP-8). Most of us were in the Teletype room. Yelling at the 20 feet of Teletype roll is accurate, though.

Trek73 on a Public HP 3000 – this is the version I rescued from the attic of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowles_Hall in 1982 and sent to Pete Turnbull 20 years later.

Trek73 Screen Captures
Screen captures of MS-DOS Trek73 using DOSBox and Quicktime Player.
Simple negative-warp strategy. Even at 25 cycles, DOSBox is much faster than the teletype. One cycle is about about the right speed, but painfully tedious.
Demo with antimatter probes.
