Super Star Trek — a classic computer game

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.

You can browse the game documentation. There are two project mailing lists:

• sst-users is for questions and technical support on sst, including support for application builders using sst as a component.

• sst-dev is for sst developers.
