Trek Adventure is one of Aardvark's original adventure game launch titles for the Coco from May of 1981. The version I have has no credits (either on screen or in the BASIC listing - this may have been to help avoid copyright issues with Paramount, who around this time was starting to clamp down on Star Trek franchise property after basically letting it go in the 1970's. The basic premise of the game is that you find yourself on an abandoned Enterprise, where you quickly find out that everybody fled the ship in shuttlecraft, but you were left behind. There are several possible solutions in this game, rather than just one. The 1983 Aardvark catalog had a note from the author Bob Retelle:
"Authors note to players - I wrote this one with a concordance in hand. It is very accurate - and a lot of fun. It was nice to wander around the ship instead of watching it on T.V."
