Super Star Trek

[Erm]

A couple of those screens remind me of the German Star Trek theme game 'Enterprise' which was published by ISS (the exclusive German Sinclair Importer) and was by Kilian Schlaich. I am actually in contact with him from time to time. I have permission to share it, so here it is as a .p file (for the first time online, ever). I do have his written instructions too, written last year in German as they were lacking from my original cassette.

It's all in BASIC and requires 16k and some understanding of German is also handy!

Here are the German commands, which the Enterprise crew understands.

Can't get it to work in EO due to reset when loading next program.

EDIT: UNPACK AND USE TZX, DOESN'T RUN FROM ZIP

I think this should fit 16K machinecode.

Do you mean "Super Star Trek"?
The program is > 16K, thus a part of the basic program and DFILE! is above the 32K border. You need to disable the M1-NOT circuit (works with my real Zeddy)

I think this should fit 16K machinecode.

It's possible, but would it be worth the effort?

There are already several versions in BASIC that fit in 16Kb, of course many simplifications have been made to achieve this.

It looks interesting, I'll take a look

Thanks

I uploaded a new version (see in the first post), in the first one I used the PAUSE statement and this was causing conflict with the RAND statement to generate the RND seed. Some game configurations were repeating themselves very often, they weren't exactly random. With the changes this has been fixed!

Note: Now the game set the Turbo mode of Andy's ZXULA2, but this information is only relevant for those who have this device installed on their Zeddy. In emulators this has no effect.

  8803 RETURN 
  8804 LET G$="SHIELD CONTROL"
  8805 RETURN 
  8806 LET G$="LIBR. COMPUTER"
  8807 RETURN 

equal:

  1 LET R=5
  2 LET G$=("WARP ENGINES" AND R=1)+("S. R. SENSORS" AND R=2)+("L. R. SENSORS" AND R=3)+("PHASER CONTROL" AND R=4)+("PHOTON TUBES" AND R=5)+("DAMAGE CONTROL" AND R=6)+("SHIELD CONTROL" AND R=7)+("LIBR. COMPUTER" AND R=8)
  3 PRINT G$
