Notes:
__NOTOC__ Star Trader is one of three primary influences cited by [[Chris Sherrick]] in creating the [[Application:TradeWars 1 (Sherrick)|original TradeWars]]. The others are [[Risk Boardgame|RISK]] and [[Hunt the Wumpus]]. Sherrick simplified the trade system by replacing the six trade items, Uranium, Metals, Heavy Equipment, Medicine, Computer Software, and Star Gems, with the more generic three categories of Ore, Organics, and Equipment. However, the spirit of the haggle system was retained, and though it has increased in complexity, is still at the core of TradeWars 2002. Also, Sherrick considered the navigation structure of Star Trader to be too simple, and he replaced it with the more complex system used by [[Application:Hunt the Wumpus|Hunt the Wumpus]]. Star Trader was published in People's Computer Company (PCC) Volume 2, Number 3 newsletter in January 1974.
