OMG, your right!
I played Star Trek, written in basic, on the offline training IC test system. The IBM PC wasn't born yet. Yeah, it's a pretty interesting game, too, particularly the later Versions where people had modded in a lot of additional weirdness that could be discovered. Lose the Enterprise but escape, and get to take over the obsolete ship USS Faerie Queen - I remember doing that on purpose, to see what it was like. Or, push the damaged warp engines too far, enter a time warp and get sent back in time to an old game position the game secretly had saved for that purpose. Pretty clever. Oh no - the Klingon super command ship has used its long-range tractor beam to pull me across the galaxy into its sector... Tholians... Romulans...
