The history behind this game is super interesting. There is no canonical "Trek" game as it is the result of years of people typing the code direct into mainframes and tweaking it in a kind of Cambrian evolution. I did a big write up on the Steam page for my version, CGA Trek, out today!

New game! CGA Trek is my historical deep dive into the "Trek" game that originated on mainframes in 1971.

It was super interesting to research this unique project which spread via code printed in books and magazines and was rarely implemented the same way twice.

Anyway, here's CGA Trek!

It's my deep historical dive into a genre going back to 1971 that started with a game that was played on printers not monitors.

It also has some of my best art direction adhering to a strict magenta and cyan 4-colour CGA palette.

But ultimately, it's my love letter to the classic EGA Trek game from the 1990s.
