An early draft. This is our first attempt at piecing together the chronology and the code of the early Star Trek games. There may be many inaccuracies here, in the history and in the code, and some games may not run as they did on the original machines. We would love help vetting the information: please send corrections, sources and bug reports by emailing us.
