I was immediately entranced by the power and mystery of the digital computer, and quickly hooked on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Star_Trek">trek</a></p> <p>Today, 29 years later, I&#8217;ve found that Trek lives on, and I could obtain C-code for Mac <span class="caps">OS X</span> that provided an experience akin to my first experience long ago, without having to bike two miles into campus. It took me about 40 minutes to gain enough competence to win my first game by destroying four enemies.</p> <p><img src="/files/Picture_18.png" alt="" /></p> Fri, 23 Nov 2007 20:39:00 -0800 urn:uuid:83f672c2-ea5c-4d8e-8e87-75fc07660509 Peter Burkholder http://typo.pburkholder.com/articles/2007/11/23/set-photons-on-kill Musings games
