FRON was a multiplayer variant of the BASIC game Star Trek created at UCLA in 1975.
Two of its authors were future gaming luminaries:
-Don Worth created one of the first computer RPGs, Beneath Apple Manor.
-Vic Tolomei worked at Exidy on games like Venture and Crossbow. #videogamehistory

I was playing Star Trek on an IBM mainframe and I don't think it was written in BASIC. But I also don't think it was multi-player either. Now I'm wondering just how old the mainframe game was.
@ClaraListensprechen4 The original version which became widespread was written in 1971 by Mike Mayfield.
