    l remember a Star Trek themed computer game from the olden times (70s I think) that essentially worked like that.

    My HP calculator had a port running which I played extensively during boring lectures while studying.

      I did a quick search.
      Game I played on the calculator was Space Trek 48.

      Much more refined compared to the simple naval 10x10 naval battle.

      Based on Star Trek from 1971.

      Major milestone in computer gaming history.

        That also seems to be a port of the orignal “Star Trek” from 1971 that I was thinking about and playing on my calculator back in the 90s! :-)
