Dear Mark,

 

Here's a list of Coco text adventures from the CASA adventure archive:

It might be there somewhere.

I am trying to find the Star Trek text adventure game for the CoCo 1.  I do

not know what it is called, but I remember the game.

 

You start out on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.  You see viewscreen,

Spock's panel, and turbolift.  You look at Spock's panel and read "Captain

the entire crew is down on the planet, you are the only one left on board.

The ship is in a decaying orbit around the planet. You must repair the ship

by replacing the mag-atomic valve on the starboard engine.  Then you enter

the turbo lift and go down and go out.

 

Now there's a series of rooms where you need to find things. You need to

find a pillow, a mag-atomic valve and a spacesuit.  I remember that you can

use the ventilation system to get around.  Then you enter the turbolift go

down and go out.

 

Now you are at the entrance of the shuttle bay.  You need to put on your

spacesuit before going into the shuttle bay.  To put on the spacesuit you

must drop everything that's in your hands, but if you drop the mag-atomic

valve first it will break.  So you drop the pillow first, followed by the

mag-atomic valve.  Then you can put on the spacesuit.  Next you get the

pillow and the mag-atomic valve and open or blast the shuttle bay doors.

Now you have a limited amount of time to complete the next phase of your

mission before your spacesuit runs out of oxygen.  I never got past this

point.

 

Does anyone know how the story ends?  Does anyone know where I can find this

game?

 

This would be a good game to re-create with graphics.
