Apple Trek

Apple Trek is a Star Trek like strategy game all in TEXT based off an old main frame game simply called Trek. The object of the game is to destroy all the Ks Klingon's in the galaxy. The player plays the part of the captain of the capitol E Enterprise and controls are mainly through selection options with numbers. The play screen consists of three sections of the Enterprise's control panel. The top section gives an overview of the known galaxy while the lower section is divided into current short range quadrant and a status screen. Movement around the galaxy / quadrant and firing photon torpedoes is done via degrees on a compass meaning straight up is 0 while down is 180. This adds a little bit of "eduware" to the game helping any 5 & 6 year old learning degrees :) Just don't tell them they're learning something. Anyhow.. the game scenario starts off with the player being briefed about how the galaxy is under threat from the Klingon empire and that the player must destroy around 40 (it's random but always seems to be in the 40s) Klingon ships... a tall order especially since the Enterprise has a limited amount of energy & torpedoes. Other items in the galaxy are start bases (indicated by B) where the enterprise can fuel up and stars which the player can hide their ship behind and avoid Klingon photon torpedoes. This only works once as a single photon torpedo will destroy the start.
