Super Star Trek — a classic computer game

- -

Save the Federation from the invading Klingons! Visit exotic -planets and strip-mine them for dilithium! Encounter mysterious space -thingies! This is the home page of the classic Super Star Trek game -from the days of slow teletypes, reloaded.

- -

SST2K is a modern Unix port of the University of Texas "Super Star -Trek" game originally written in FORTRAN in the mid-1970s. It has -options to restrict its feature set to what was in earlier versions.

- -

SST2K is a kind of time machine back to what interactive programs were -like in the days of hardcopy terminals, before graphics and before -even video displays. Despite this archaism and decades after it was -written, SST2K retains significant play value. We think it's both fun -and instructive to see how good a game could be written under those -conditions.

- -

Presently the code is available only via git -at the SST -Project Page on berlios.de. It builds and runs. We expect to do -an actual release Real Soon Now.

- -

In the meantime, you can at least browse the game -documentation. - -

- -

You can read the project's to-do list. If -you want to help with these things, here are the project mailing -lists:

- - - - -

Tom Almy, one of the SST project founders, has an SST page of his own.

- -

There is a Wikipedia -entry.

- -

SST is fairly closely related to Eric Allman's BSD Trek, which also started -life as a C translation of UT Super Star Trek. BSD Trek is missing most of -the post-1978 features of SST2K, but does add a cloaking device for the -Romulans.

- -

The only other really current Star Trek port we know of is -OpenTrek, -which appears to be set in the ST:TNG universe (featuring the Borg -Collective as the villains) and has a fancy graphical interface.

- -

(There are also some multi-player Trek variants out there, notably -XTrek and NetTrek, that have a very different feel from any of the -Trek solitaires.)

- -

For a truly retro-Trek experience, see the Star Trek ASCII Art -Archive.

- -

If this game interested you, you may want to check out some of the -other ancient games at the Retrocomputing Museum.
