The chess game screenshot sort of reminded me of the StarTrek game DEC used to leave running in their showrooms in the 70's and 80's: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Star_Trek_text_game....

I remember being kicked out by salesmen many times while sitting there playing. They seemed very annoyed that no adults "got it", but many kids did.

They were all lobeless creatures who couldn't spot an opportunity even if it hit them in the face. A true Ferengi would know how to handle this.

To their credit, they did donate a lot of VAX equipment to New Hampshire public schools where I grew up. They did seem to get the long game there. It certainly worked on me. DEC's bigger misses came later.

I didn't realize there was an original. I played EGA Trek as a kid:

I remember playing StarTrek on one of these in my 7th grade math class: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/computinghistory/la36.html

We played Star Trek on the Apple ]['s in our middle school computer lab back in the mid 1980's. Bless whomever ported that game.
