I forgot all about this gem. I was really good at shooting stars as I recall.
Probably said already in another thread, but you have reinforced it, one particular year, the dugeon game called Rogue (the original Unix versio) accounted for more corporate CPU time in the US than anything else, could have been more than everything else combined.
I was just as guilty at my University campus in the UK, I also ported NetTrek to run on the SunOS (using SunView rather than X Windows (X10R4), killed the university fibre optic network - yes we had high speed networking - you couldn't use co-axial (or any electrical signal based) cable because of the nuclear physics experiments.
I remember my mother taking me to her workplace on a Saturday in the early '80s and sitting me down in front of a terminal and starting up a Star Trek game that used ASCII characters and ran on their mainframe halfway across the country. Online games were already killing productivity all the way back then!
BTW, we rode to work on the back of a dinosaur and had brontosaurus burger for lunch in those days.
There's Klingons on the starboard bow ...
starboard bow ... starboard bow;
there's Klingons on the starboard bow ... starboard bow, Jim.
Analysis, Mr. Spock.
It's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it;
it's life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain.
This one worked well for me in Mini vMac running System 6.
But... I can't find the Klingons. Any navigation tips?
Thanks for pointing out.
This is now a more usable Disk Copy 4.2 file, stuffed with Stuffit 4.0
A .sit archive of this would be much appreciated. The .zip archive is not too great...
Now all I need is the original Apple II version.
