It is a classic public domain game. I wonder if anyone has been able to get it to work with pocket pc? The second link shows code that has been converted to small basic for an EBookman.

Yeah i'd say it is ...gah it's filled with good old spaghetti GOTO code in there. I'll get 4 months of Uni in a month, i might be madman enough to play with it.

hehe... Might be a good project to make in mobile .NET. As long as no references were made to Star Trek. Remember it's Space Trek and you are fighting the Kaglons and Ramlons and it is called 3lithium not tri-

Well I would rather see Star Raiders ported over to Pocket PC. Of coarse you can play Star Raiders using the AtariPocketPC emulator for now.

Besides playing Trek on a mainframe the first time I played it on a home pc was when I bought an OSI computer (I am dating myself now). Bob Ritel wrote Timetrek and was written to fit into 8K of RAM on the OSI computer. I later wrote a game like Trek and Star Raiders for the Amiga called Krillian Incident. I recently bought an Amiga emultator and got it running. Those were the good old days (OSI, Atari 800 and Amiga).

I would love to see an Xwing VS Tiefighter or some other 3D space type game for the PPC.

I did some checking and found that there is an Atari ST emulator for the Pocket PC. I didn't go any further than finding some webpages talking it. Maybe you could run it that way.
