A very long time ago, I played a simpler version on CP/M (dad's Cromemco System 3). Possibly typed in from https://www.amazon.com/BASIC-Computer-Games-Microcomputer-Da...

I'd enter games from the book BASIC Computer Games and then make enhancements.
Like adding a computer voice to Star Trek with a program that let you play short sound files created with a cassette recorder. (Can't remember that name of it.)

Oh, wow, that takes me back. I haven't thought about that book in over 25 years...

Not QBasic, but this was my first PC programming "experience" [1]. I got tired of typing these in, so I would con my Dad's secretary to type these in because she could type (I didn't really understand at the time that a secretary typing wasn't the same as a programmer typing :P).
Some worked, some didn't and I think I wasn't really old enough at the time to understand why they wouldn't, but I have a lot of fond memories and pride at getting these to work.
