Did that game have vector graphics?  if so I had the home version for my Vectrex when I was a kid.  That looks so cool!!!

"Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator is a space combat simulation arcade game based on the original Star Trek television program, and released by Sega in 1983.

It is a vector game, with both a two-dimensional display and a three-dimensional first-person perspective. The player controls the Starship Enterprise, and must defend sectors from invading Klingon ships.

The game was presented in two styles of cabinets: an upright standup, and a sit-down/semi-enclosed deluxe cabinet with the player's chair modeled after the Star Trek Motion Picture's bridge chairs with controls integrated into the chair's arms."

Home Versions

Does anyone remember this beauty? In the early 80's, they had one of these at a local movie theater, and I would play every time I went there. Well, I just found one still in action here in Las Vegas!

Clicky to see the game at the museum.

Clicky to see game play.

At first glance, I thought this was the face of Anakin Skywalker from 'Return of the Jedi'.

I found this enjoyable and interesting.

'Allo Allo!' and Porridge actor dies at 70

British actor Sam Kelly, who starred in 'Allo 'Allo! and Porridge, has died at the age of 70 after a long illness.

His agent Lynda Ronan said he died "peacefully" on Saturday and he would be sorely missed by his many friends.

Kelly acted in On The Up and Barbara, and recently played The Wizard in West End musical Wicked.

But he was best known for the role of Captain Hans Geering in 'Allo 'Allo.

"Sam Kelly died peacefully this morning after a long illness bravely fought," Ronan said.

"He does not leave any family but a host of friends who were his chosen family.

"His death is a great loss to them and the profession."

Actors and comedians took to Twitter to pay tribute to their friend and colleague.

"Very saddened to hear about Sam Kelly's death," Stephen Fry tweeted.

"He played a splendid Hitler in a comedy drama called Stalagluft I made with Nick Lyndhurst..."

Former Doctor Who actor Colin Baker tweeted: "Cannot believe that lovely Sam Kelly has died. We were at drama school together - lovely, funny, talented chap. So sad."

And Sherlock actor Mark Gatiss wrote: "desperately sad news that the wonderful Sam Kelly has left us. Such a funny, talented man and one of the good guys. RIP Bunny Warren".
