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:
