BotF. I liked blowing away a Borg cube without any losses. All you needed was to have at least six warbirds ready when the Borg came.

I'm already grimly determined to stay on Win 7 as long as possible and this is just one more reason to stay.

Thanks, it gets even harder when you 'glue' them together.

Why not knock up a quick utility - display a grid of cells the right size, click to set/unset the cells then a Go button to generate the Hex strings?

That would be no problem, but a piece of graph paper and a pencil also work fine.

Except to zoom out the graph paper you have to move across the room...

Not really. The the graphics chip displayed a constant horizontal resolution of 64 pixels (8 bytes) and 128 lines.
AT 64 x 128 the pixels are about four times wider than high and the video buffer took 1k. I think I have only one program that actually used this mode.
Fortunately you couls just repeat the same line twice, reducing the resolution to 64 x 64 and the video buffer to 1/2k. That also reduced the aspect ratio of the pixels to 2, which was far more usable.
The mostly used resolution of 64 x 32 was reached by repeating each line four times. The pixels were square, but huge. The video buffer was only 1/4k. This[^] was the test program I entered with the hex keyboard right after soldering together my computer. The image comes from an emulator, of course. The basic computer had only 1/4k memory, so the 'garbage' at the top is the program and the stack.
Anyway, drawing entire screens on graph paper was not really hard.

You just gave me an idea. Why not steal the image from the old test program and use it in the title screen of the game?

Great. This way it even looks very much what it looks like on the old computer. A line of the 'Klingon' is missing and it's glued together with the 'Romulan', but it's becoming more recognizable.

This comes very close to the old computer now. I have added one line to the 'Klingon' at the top which should make it look better. The 'Romulan' is flat like a pancake. Like Griff already said, this one is harder to get right.

I'm looking at some 3rd party documentation and trying to figure out what their database platform is (I'm guessing the doc I'm looking at is some kind of Apache/Maven type affair but I'm pretty much a 100% SQLServer guy so I'm not at all sure).
The doc looks like:
Archetype
[List of links to various entities]
1. EntityName
1.1 Additional Information
1.2 Archetype Properties
[Two column table - Archetype Property and Value]
1.3 Archetype Definitions (Attributes)
[Eight column table - AttributeId, Caption, Data Type, Access Type, Default Value, Supports FTS, Multiline, Notes Multiline? That sounds like a non-stop source of pleasure!]
1.4 Query/Quick Find/Sort Definition
No Query/Quick Find/Sort Information is defined
1.5 Indexes
No Indexes are defined (that's always promising!)
etc., etc.
Data types mentioned include RELATIONSHIP (please God, be a real life foreign key), DATE, BOOLEAN, STRING(n), NARRATIVE, MONEY, DECIMAL(n,n), GUID, DATETIME and AUTONUMBER (when I Googled AUTONUMBER, I just got loads of results for Access but thankfully, it doesn't seem to be that!)
Does anyone recognise the doc format or have any idea what the underlying database might be?
Thanks.
Slogans aren't solutions.
