From: Eric S. Raymond This is the home page of Super Star Trek, a modern Unix port of the
-University of Texas "Super Star Trek" game originally written in
-FORTRAN in the early 1970s. SST 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, SST 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 Subversion
-at the SST
-Project Page on berlios.de. We expect to do an actual release
-before 2004 ends. In the mean time, you can at least browse the game
-documentation.
-
- You can read the project's to-do list.

— a classic computer game
Tom Almy, one of the SST project founders, has an SST page of his own.
