I've actually been re-reading some of the "best of creative computing" books published by ahl. It is really sad instinct to see how the future was largely predicted.
As far as colloidal caves, you should check out The "get lamp" documentary.
I was a backer on that one, it's a great documentary.
good lord, typing without my glasses on the phone: s/sad instinct/interesting/g && s/colloidal/colossal/ig.
The 1978 edition of BASIC Computer Games did have permission from Paramount to use the Star Trek trademarks, but this probably doesn't apply to ports. http://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames/showpage.php?page=15...
I like this kind of thing and I have both books. A family friend CP/M system was by first gaming experience and I played all of them. The Star Trek here exists in a sort of copyright limbo, CBS obviously didn't license it but it was too popular to squash. I remember seeing ports of this to Amiga, Palm Pilot and Windows CE over the years.
Colossal Cave is a contemporary - it wasn't distributed as source (to my recollection... compiled OBASIC.COM IIRC?) so it isn't in the books but it was my favourite.
