I rewrote the classic Star Trek game to use VT52 escape codes to make it a more graphical game. I give a quick tour of the game, and then show some ways my BASIC programming has evolved since I last used it 42 years ago. You can find the code at https://github.com/galacticstudios/Trek52. If you're interested in the PDP-11 replica, it's available as a kit from https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11. There's also a PDP-8 replica at https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-8. I'm not connected with the seller; I'm just a happy customer. And if you'd like a quick tour of my retro computer collection and paraphernalia, check out my video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gNN4nL5F-k.
