Now here is some old school Star Trek. Anyone else here that is old enough to have played this classic game on a dos box?

Get it FREE

 I played a Star Trek game in the late 70s that was mainframe based.  The monitors were in a room adjacent to the mainframe, but I can hardly remember it. I was 16 or 17.  I do remember it being very simple on the screen.  Just a small vector line or two and some text of power left or something.  

We had to program in distances to bases and fuel?  Seemed like there may have been a screen similar to that DOS game that you either toggled to or was resident on a portion.

I've looked around for information on it before, but no luck.  My friends dad took us to his work and set it up for us.  We played that thing for hours at a time and it felt like we were in deep space.
