It's actually the old text-based Star Trek game.

Yep, Star Trek game. Real popular back then. I bought my 1977 Apple II and it came bundled with Star Trek on cassette tape, the only way to automatically load it without hand-typing in the program code. My Apple II still works, although I upgraded it to run on USB memory sticks with thousands of programs, and I will still play Star Trek as a nostalgic remembrance of the past from time to time. The PET, TRS-80 and Apple-II came out around the same time, a step up from the Altair and IMSAI machines out earlier, in ease of use.

I’m going to guess 1974.

I remember the ‘64 and the Odyessy and the TRS-80 and a few others. This looks older than those by at at least several years.

And that is a tiny, tiny screen.
