A downloadable game

I have taken the original 1970s source code of the 80 column printer terminal based simulation and converted it to run on a 40 column Commodore PET  ...No mainframe required!

Whilst undertaking this conversion I have added numerous subtle enhancements, including "helpers" for navigation & photon torpedo targeting and long range scanner interpretation guide. I've re-engineered and refined many stats, charts & data outputs. I've also added some user-friendly features and extra summary data readouts. All whilst keeping to the exact gameplay experience of the original.

This program is 100% text based and uses ZERO cursor control codes, only carriage returns, just like the mainframe terminal-based games of the 70s.

Please leave comments, bug reports and suggestions. Thank you!
