This sent me down memory lane a little - the computer in Wargames was an IMSAI microcomputer that ran CP/M. Looking for what the clear screen command would have been for that computer, I found that there are a few different BASIC interpreters available for CP/M. At the end of the the link is a brief description of the Super Star Trek game. I remember finding the listing for this game somewhere, and reading through it. It was one of the games that sparked my love for programming - the text-based map display blew me away. |
I was a Commodore guy, I started with the 64, and then moved to the 128 and learned CP/M to go with basic. Then moved onto the Amiga. When I got the Amiga, I found a C compiler and learned C, it was amazing what you could do graphically and sound wise on an Amiga with C. I also found a Pascal and a Prolog compiler for the Amiga. Prolog was such a pain in the butt, but if you figured out decision tree's and decision logic, you could make some very cool apps.
