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.

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).
