+<p>SST2K is a modern Unix port of the University of Texas "Super Star
+Trek" game originally written in FORTRAN in the mid-1970s. It has
+options to restrict its feature set to what was in earlier versions.</p>
+
+<p>SST2K 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

+at the <a href='https://developer.berlios.de/projects/sst/'>SST

+<p>Tom Almy, one of the SST project founders, has <a

+
+<p>There is a <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Star_Trek'>Wikipedia
+entry</a>.</p>
+
+<p>SST is fairly closely related to Eric Allman's BSD Trek, which also started
+life as a C translation of UT Super Star Trek. BSD Trek is missing most of
+the post-1978 features of SST2K, but does add a cloaking device for the
+Romulans.</p>
+
+<p>The only other really current Star Trek port we know of is
+<a href='http://shankel.best.vwh.net/opentrek.html'>OpenTrek</a>,
+which appears to be set in the ST:TNG universe (featuring the Borg
+Collective as the villains) and has a fancy graphical interface.</p>
+
+<p>(There are also some multi-player Trek variants out there, notably
+XTrek and NetTrek, that have a very different feel from any of the
+Trek solitaires.)</p>
