Time Trek is a Star Trek computer game published by Personal Software in 1978. Two similar but unrelated games were published under this brand in 1978, one for the Commodore PET by Brad Templeton[2] and one programmed by Joshua Lavinsky for the TRS-80 4K Level I or Level II microcomputer.[1]
Time Trek is a real-time Star Trek-style game in which the Enterprise must eliminate the Klingons before they can destroy all the starbases.[3]
J. Mishcon reviewed Time Trek in The Space Gamer No. 28.[3] Mishcon commented that "the real-time aspect of the game and the aggressive tactics of the damn Klingons make this game quite exciting. For those into hand-eye coordination and fast action, Time Trek will be enjoyable."[3] In his 80-US review of Space Battle, "One of the best space war games available", Geo Blank compared the game to Time Trek, commenting that "The extra control makes Time Trek a better action game."[4]
