Is this a challenge?  Cause I thought about writing a multiuser super
star trek game.

But I didn't do it, because I didn't think there would be enough
interest.

Someone has ported one of the Classic BASIC Trek programs to Inform,
so it runs on anything that has a Z-Machine (PalmOS, Frotz, etc...)

bin at http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/zcode/ztrek.z5

And I remember running across a rendered 3Dish implementation of a
Trek game for Windoze boxes, but I don't remember what it was called.
