Trek73
TREK73 is a computer game based on the original Star Trek television series. It was created in 1973 by William K. Char, Perry Lee, and Dan Gee. The game was played via Teletype. Roderick Perkins adapted the program for the LHS DECISION computer located at the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, California. Dave Pare and Chris Williams translated the BASIC into C and Jeff Okamoto, Peter Yee, and others corrected and enhanced the source code.
Gameplay
The game simulates battles between space ships of the Star Trek franchise. Through text commands, a player may order the ship to perform certain tasks in battle against an opposing vessel.
History
In January 1973, William K. Char began programming a space battle game in BASIC on a time-shared Hewlett-Packard 2000C system at Wilson High School in San Francisco. The first version of what was then called $SPACE was introduced in May 1973. In June 1973, Char, Perry, Lee, and Gee started programming TREK73; it was completed October 8, 1973. Roderick Perkins adapted TREK73 for the DECISION computer at the Lawrence Hall of Science in 1974. The game was played by Homebrew Computer Club member Steve Dompier, who purchased a Teletype machine for his home so that he could play the game for hours without interruption.

All The Unfullfilled
by: Dark AgeI have become carving, resisting my reliance
And still I am falling, escaping the asylum
Oh, I wish that some day
I will stand up in silence and peace,
without affecting my lifestyle
"I feel so isolated and disconnected from the happy"
It's all that I want, It's all that I need
All you unfullfilled, you've been living illusions
To all you unfullfilled, where are your solutions?
All my life affected to knowing and sensing
without the triumph of owning yourself
I feel proceeded, there's got to be more than this
I feel so lost, when there's no one
who can teach me the value of life
To all you unfullfilled,
I came here to say but nothing
To all the unfullfilled,
