+Larry Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Stellar Track was a Sears Telegames strategy game (not a shoot-em-up) for the 2600. It was fairly difficult to complete as I remember. Is there anything very similar/port for the A8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hwrd Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 If I ever see an 800 version floating around, I'll post a link. Below is a link to Apple Trek, it might fill any "Stellar Track" hunger.

www.atarimania.com Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Trying to figure out how different this title is compared to the myriads of Star Trek games we already have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+remowilliams Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 On the A8 we have the luxury of added horsepower, so just play http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-star-fleet-i_4980.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Check out Star Fleet I: The War Begins by Dr Trevor Sorensen. It's based off the old Trek mainframe game just like Stellar Trak was, but it adds all kinds of great stuff (a campaign, way more systems, boarding enemy ships etc). It's probably the best 'upgrade' of the old Trek mainframe game, and there's a native Atari port. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how different they are, since I haven't had a 2600 for many years. (I bailed out to a ColecoVision -- probably a mistake, but the games and graphics were significantly better.) But yes, looking at Atarimania, it does have quite a selection. Everything else being equal, I'd probably lean toward the Star Trek 3.5 (Adventure International). I also found some excellent documentation at http://www.retrobits.net/atari/aitrek.shtml#ch30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
