When i was a undergrad at Ohio State (1975-76) (Baker Hall, anyone?), i was able to snag source to a (what is now) a really old one - it was written in Fortran!! - it played on a 8x8 quadrant, with each quadrant with 8x8 sectors ... the enterprise was ++E, the regular klingons were ++K,, the cruisers were ++C, starbases were <B> .. this was all played on a teletype -no CRT screens for us freshmen ... (the program did not like you if you aimed your photon torpedopes at your own starbase) - if you got destroyed, you were issued another ship, the USS Faerie Queene (++Q) - it was great fun (for the day) - .. i transcribed it to basic for my apple ][+ (with a Z/80 card) and compiled it... Those were the days .....
