If you do an internet search on the history of computer games, you will find a handful of games frequently mentioned as milestones in the early development of computers. Among these games are Spacewar!, Colossal Cave Adventure, and Star Trek.
Star Trek was written by a teen-aged California high school student named Michael Mayfield in 1971, years before personal/desktop computers existed. The game was widely circulated and modified by dozens of other programmers, at dozens of mostly academic computer centers. Eventually, it was expanded and modified by Bob Leedom in 1974, and his version was published by David Ahl in the million-selling book BASIC Computer Games in 1978. Leedom’s version was renamed Super Star Trek. It featured alphabetic rather than numeric commands and verbal responses from members of the Star Trek crew. Leedom’s version of Star Trek is the one I have ported to Liberty BASIC and present here.
In approaching this project, and as a learning exercise, I decided to spend the time to dig deep into the code and rewrite portions of the game engine to simplify, clarify, and untangle the spaghetti code. Some parts of the code were truly baffling, in particular the distance and direction calculator, which remains confusing, though more or less functional.
I did make one significant change in the way the game works. I changed the damage system to a much simpler percentile approach. The ship’s systems now operate on a damage scale of zero to 100 percent, with 100 being fully functional. Any system below 90 percent will not be fully operational. Other than this, the game plays very much like the original. I kept almost all of the player interface intact. I made one or two other minor modifications, but the experience of playing this version of Super Star Trek should be very close to the original game.
There may well still be bugs and glitches, and if so, please feel free to post corrections or contact me with your discoveries.
For any of you youngsters who are curious what a “computer game” was like in the early days of computing, try a game of Super Star Trek. You can read about the history of the game here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_(1971_video_game)

REM Credit is given at the top of this listing to the original coders,
REM particularly to Mike Mayfield, the creator of the game. However, this program
REM is essentially a re-write of the game. I have kept most the user interface
REM and game play the same, while largely rebuilding the game engine to
REM take advantage of the power of a modern BASIC interpreter, unhindered by the
REM restrictions of trying to fit the game into 24K of memory.
REM I removed the line numbers and replaced them with comprehensible labels,
REM and re-named most of the variables to make the code easier to understand and debug.
REM
REM If you would like a copy of the original (1978) unaltered code, contact me on the
REM Liberty BASIC Community Forum, where I am "dan1101"
