AcornSoft’s release was called Galaxy, for instance Tandy’s Space Trek. It was written by W Sander, and the name was changed to avoid copyright issues, of course, and that was true of all the other commercial releases. Ahl’s Basic version would ultimately lead to Apple Trek, the version Apple itself released commercially for its Apple II microcomputer in 1979. Like a virus, the game spread from system to system. He published the listing in the DEC User Society newsletter, and soon users were clamouring for copies so they could run Star Trek on their own machines. He credits DEC’s Mary Cole as a contributor. He produced the code in the summer of 1973, tweaking it a little in the process. It was this version that Ahl encountered and was sufficiently enthused with to create a third version, this one in Digital Equipment’s implementation of Basic. HP put the software in the public domain. The 18-year-old Mayfield agreed and soon got Star Trek running on its second platform, implemented in HP Basic in October 1972, and published early the following year by HP on tape. They were so keen to have a go themselves, they asked him to port it to their HP 2000 minicomputer. He got to know the guys there, and at some point told them about the game he’d written on the Sigma 7. Around the same time, for instance, he called in on a nearby HP sales office to buy a HP-35 programmable calculator.
