Was Anyone Here In The Navy back in the late 70's?
-
I was a radarman (OS) on board a couple of NTDS-equipeed destroyers back in the mid-late 70's. The DS's had a game on paper-tape that they'd load up on the NTDS computers so that guys on duty in port could have something to do after work without having to leave the ship. This game was basically a 2-D space ship shoot-em-up. We could have as many players as there were radar consoles in CIC, and it was loads of fun. If anyone else here has served in the US Navy in a similar capacity (OS or DS), do you remember this game at all?

Boo. I expected a nice flaming response. Rats. No we didn't have those games in the corps back then.

What? The gays were in the navy? There are so many politically incorrect jokes that I could make out of that one sentence, but I'd probably end up being arrested so I leave you to make your own up.

This[^] may help. I am too young to have been in the service then, but I can google my way into most answers. If this isn't discussing the games you remember, then you may have some new contacts to ask questions to. Good luck!

I found one reference to it in an antique computer forum (and the link you provided was what I found), but nothing beyond that. I was more interested in seeing if anyone else here had ever seen it.

Toying with the idea, but not sure yet. I don't remember much of the specifics and the images in my memory are fuzzy at best.

Not even close. It involved human players, and a LARGE playing field with randomly placed starbases, stars, and jump gates. You were flying along and fighting against all other players on the network.

I spent 22+ years in the Navy, starting in 1976, serving my country for little pay, and even at one point serving along side some of the finest in the Corp in Cuba. The wife spent 20+ years in the Army doing the same... Gay's in the Navy? Yea, I guess back then there were, had thier own special group...you could tell by the red strips down the side of thier dress (skirts) uniforms.
