Star Trek (Sigma 7) 1 - A Game From 1971

Star Trek was originally developed for an SDS Sigma 7 computer. The computer was released in 1966, had a 32-bit CPU and a maximum of 32 KB memory. Mike Mayfield wrote this game in 1971 in BASIC, and it was subsequently released to the broader public in David H. Ahl’s book ’101 BASIC Computer Games’. The game spawned many clones and derivatives such as BSD Trek (*nix), EGA Trek (DOS), and the Star Fleet games (DOS, Amiga), and action games based on the same formula, such as Star Raiders (Atari 8-bit). The version I’m playing was ported from the original BASIC source to C# by Michael Birken. I compiled it myself after fixing an issue with the random seed.
