We are not. When I want a cubic desktop environment I reach(ed) for BeOS.

I’ve been trying to remember but it hasn’t come back to me. It was a 2D, top down, space battle game. Its possible it wasn’t named after Star Trek, but you pilot a grey ship with a saucer section and nacelles to fire torpedoes and phasers at green bird of prey looking ships so…

That all sounds very familiar. The one I played was full color but it must have either been a late version of Empire or something heavily “inspired” by it.

I think my mother played that star trek game on a time shared minicomputer.

4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
