We spent hours playing VTTrek during college on the DEC-2060. Glorious battles between the Federation and Klingons. I only wish I had video of some of these games. The game was written in MACRO-10 and featured 3D game play using ASCII renditions of stars, planets, and ships. The Enter key on the numeric keypad certainly took a beating as that was your propulsion key (if I recall correctly). There's a former DEC employee who posted the source code and more information on the game http://raspuzzi.org/vttrek/vttrek.html

Edit: special thanks to MRC for being so kind to me at Stanford in 1980/81. I asked dumb questions and he sent me in the right direction.
