    If you're into text adventures, you should check some of many Star Trek based text online games (MUSH'es and MUSE's). They offer an amazing depth of roleplaying experience, often modelling even the smallest aspects of ST universe. Sadly, with the advent of graphical online games, they've fallen behind in popularity.

    A classic game based on TOS (which had Nimoy, Shatner and Kelley visit for chat sessions on several occasions) can be found on space.tos.net. To play, simply telnet to tos.tos.net, port 1701. Several empires to chose from, with fleets, a space system, economy, diplomacy, culture (especially important with Vulcans, Klingons and Romulans), language, etc. All based on roleplaying and some coded systems.
