I remember back in the day when online access was a 300 baud modem connected to Quantum Link, when 3D graphics were hours and hours of work on supercomputers, when we were just as likely to type in a game from the latest issue of RUN Magazine as to go and purchase the latest game from the computer store. It was during these early, formative days of gaming that I discovered one of my all-time favorite games, the classic Star Trek. Now this was not massive space simulation, nor was it an advanced RPG. It was a simple game of space exploration, where the goal was to find and destroy a number of Klingon vessels. Although there wasn’t much to the game (a grid of asterisks and shapes that vaguely approximated your vessel and the Klingon ships) it was the first taste of controlling a starship in the vast reaches of space.
