Super Star Trek (trek15) (1976)
The longest BASIC here at 1,628 lines. It translates the UT FORTRAN Super Star Trek of about 1974 (10×10 sectors, keyword commands) and carries its jokes. Mostly lower case. Run here, as archived, on a Intellec MDS profile inferred from the listing: number printing, precision, the prompt and error text are stand-ins. Nine lines of the posted text are damaged (Usenet line wrapping), so the run repairs them; the archived text is untouched and the repairs are: line 180 and 3065 "sto p" read as stop; line 19165 a missing "(" added; lines 25130 and 25131 rejoined into the one print they were split from; line 24361 given a guess at its lost word (print "STARSHIP"); line 30002 (a stray ";") and line 37010 (bye : end) reduced to end.
