ERTHTWIN is a program originally created by Edward H. Carlson but then
modified for the ST by Rober Reeves. In part educational and in part
game this program has you zooming around the galaxy seeking a planet to
colonize. You pick out stars of any given mass and explore them
(actually, you pick a multiple of the solar mass and type it in--that's
your total travel experience!). The game will then show you the
relationship between the mass and the lifetime/luminosity of a star, and
the narrowness of the zone of habitability around a star, based on it's
mass. You are presented with a solar system of planets with mass,
orbital period and distance, mean temperature, and more. Do you want to
colonize any of those planets? Probably not, at least I didn't find any
that seemed as nice as good ol' Earth! ST/STE and Geneva compatible
(at least). .BAS file included. Mono.
