Hot damn... yup!! Thank you.

Such a great game for its time. Edit: it's modem <-> modem not LAN so a max of 2 human players. So I assume we were using null modems to play together in the same room.

Seems likely that this Carlton McLawhorn [i] from Wendell NC is the author (and also an avid rocketeer and scoutmaster).

Is this a dos version of the much older mainframe game? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_(1971_video_game)


Slightly inspired by it maybe, but verry different (real-time vs turn based is biggest difference).
