I decided to try to see if this would work in EBasic. For those among us, some may even remember playing this game. It is a CONSOLE game, I allow for lower case and only need 3 characters for the commands. I have checked out most of the functions and they seem to work ok. If you find something that needs to be fixed, please let me know. I have tried to make it more EBasic like than Color Basic.
I am going to look at "Empire" written in VAX VMS Fortran and converting it to Ebasic. I used to love playing that game on the VAX.

oooh, I love retro games, Thanks for sharing :) I'll have to check this out later and see how far I get
Bill,
I like the retro games too. I added some beeps to the game just for grins.
I haven't studied the code too close, but I also added some comments. There are still some screen refresh issues after you destroy a Klingon.
Being lazy, I also shortened the commands to two (2) letters (I had to change photons to torpedo).
