VCF East 2.0, Day one.

RSTS/E. The early versions were text based and you could run them on
an LA36 DecWriter or ASR-33 teletype. A friend of mine converted one
to run on a VT50 terminal where it would update the screen.

I might be thinking of a star trek game because the VT50 version was
called TVTREK.BAS, but I think one of the text based games was called
SPACWR.BAS. I have old program listings from 1978 and I think I have
soft copies of some of these. I'll check.

Really? Did you have some sort of graphics adapter hooked up to the /40?
What OS did they run on?
