A game with a Pick/BASIC connection

The foreword to Jonathan E. Sisk's 1987 PICK BASIC: A Programmer's Guide answers an old rumor that he wrote PICK/BASIC to play Star Trek. Sisk says the rumor was not true, then adds: "I did play a lot of 'Star Trek' while developing the language." RightMV's demo celebrates that connection with an original MV/BASIC adaptation of the classic terminal strategy game.
