Classic Trek 80 for Android

I grew up on the Texas gulf coast in the mid 1970’s, a son of a NASA contractor. I remember playing a similar game on my dad’s computer prior to the Tandy game system, and the version you have masterfully recreated. I recall some differences in movement commands, but the same basic game. I also remember spending hours as a child, and the excitement when I finally beat the game the first time. Thank you for bringing back a wonderful memory. I look forward to spending time again (much older kid now) solving the puzzles this game provides.

Pretty good recreation. What would be nice to see would a additional ability to recreate other versions of the game (like the original 1971 edition, it’s original HP BASIC source code is readily available, Super Star Trek or BSD Trek, a C version which is still available in the Debian repos and was converted to Android) with the same TRS aesthetic.

I took the developer’s suggestion to treat it as a puzzle, having not played the original. It’s been fun puzzling through the operations. That said, I’ve played games of its type in the past and can see an authentic experience for those wishing to revisit the original. Have fun!

Awesome game. I fully agree that you should try to figure out how the game moves work without reading the advanced instructions. Made it so much more enjoyable. Thanks for putting in the time to develop!

I originally played a version using a Decwriter, connected to a mainframe with a 300 baud acoustic modem! My only improvement idea for this version is to make the keypad area larger. My fat fingers on the small phone screen can tap the wrong number easily. :D
