I will add details in the few days time. At the moment it's really late and I'm tired. The code was adapted for the original BBC Micro back in the early 80's (The code works on BeepEm perfectly) I think the code needs some miner adjustments to run on BBC BASIC for Windows because of the more updated code that BB4W uses.

I would like to post this code on here for archival, historical reasons.
There is nothing particularly 'original' about the code that you listed (clearly not, as it's a BBC BASIC version!) and certainly there's no need to record it for 'archival' purposes since versions can be found in many places, for example: http://www.dunnington.u-net.com/public/startrek/.
Anyway this forum is entirely unsuited to that function.
Richard.
P.S. I had to delete the listing because the long lines were mucking up the display of the entire thread. When listing code in a forum message always use [code] tags, that's what they're for! Re: First ever mainstream computer game
