Interesting a game that learns how you play and presents a bigger challange the more games you play - could that be put into SEIV i wonder or SE5

I played that old Star Trek game, too, but it was on the Commodore 64. That was a fun game. The program was written in BASIC. You could open the program and edit it if you wanted.

One time I shot a photon torpedo at a star base to see what would happen. The base was destroyed, and I got a message saying I was going to be court martialed. Another time, I had destroyed all the Klingon ships except for one, and I had no energy or torpedoes left, so I used the self-destruct to blow up the quadrant. Unfortunately, somehow the Klingons still won.

Dune II, although I doubt this is the tactical level that is meant in this topic.
Then, Civilization: call to power.
Yep, I didnt have a computer for 5 years or so

Hey everyone! Looooooong time, no see!

My first TBS was a game on Intelivision that was a lot like Civilization. Anyone else remember that?

Utopia?

Yeah! Utopia! That was a nice game. It was a two-player game, and each player got an island. You build things on your island, like factories, schools, fortresses, hospitals, fields, houses, and so on. Some buildings bring you money while others keep the population happy. When your people get unhappy, rebels appear and destroy stuff. You also build fishing boats to catch fish and PT boats to protect your fishing boats from pirates and to sink the other player's fishing boat. Every so often a storm comes by and randomly zaps something.

You can download a free PC Version of some of the old Intellivision games, including Utopia, from the Intellivision Lives web site. Some of the other nice games you can get here are Astrosmash and Night Stalker. Ahh, I still remember well those happy days, about 20 years ago, when I used to visit my friend's house and we would play those games together on his Intellivision...
