Looking for a Mac System 6 classic: NetTrek (pre-3.0!)

Originally it was called "(net) Star Trek" for the disk/folder name, but once the game launched it claimed NetTrek 1.0.

I'm headed to a classic Mac gaming night here in the near future and was hoping to source this one somehow.

Video of the game is available here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z40VMsXtl0Y

The Macintosh Garden has the 3.0 and later "The Real NetTrek" version - but this was after the guy couldn't get the license for the original show sound effects he used in the 1.0 version - so he stripped them all out!

I contacted the YouTube video owner and unfortunately he doesn't know where the disk is any more.

Any suggestions / help would be appreciated!

Edit: The original game had the following sound file names:

General effects: Boom, Death, Transporter
Klingon sound effects: KBeep, KCom, KPhasers, KTorps
Romulan sound effects: RBeep, RCom, RPhasers, RTorps
Terran sound effects: TBeep, TCom, TPhasers, TTorps

Edit: A 2.0 version has been found with the original sound effects!! Thank you so much Daxeria! http://www.reddit.com/r/retrogaming/comments/2iu39u/looking_for_a_mac_system_6_classic_nettrek_pre30/cl5pan7

The earliest I could dig up was version 2.0, but it looks like all the same sounds are there (and the names "Klingon" and "Romulan" haven't been bowdlerized yet.)

:) It was on a shareware CD of 1000 games.

Looks like the Mac Garden NetTrek page is due to be expanded!

Amazing. I started going through "collection" disk images just for this reason, just never stumbled across this one. Thanks again ever so much! :)

I'm pretty sure that game is open-source, so you should be able to compile it. Watch out, though it's pretty old and unmaintained.

You're probably thinking of "Netrek" which is at netrek.org - which is actually a different game.

"NetTrek" was a System 6 / Mac OS specific game that communicated over AppleTalk for LAN play.

Thanks for the suggestion/help though!
