Roddenberry was a story teller, and like any artist, they draw from prior and surrounding motifs. I am fine with being a fan of si fi, and it is a great franchise most certainly, like Star Wars too, but please do not treat it like a religion and don't treat Roddenberry like a prophet.
There are nuts in every walk of life; sometimes, they are referred to as "stalkers". Star Trek lives on; Tom's hardware has a great overview of the games of the franchise:

As a lifelong Trekkie, I was completely unaware of the 1971 game, as well as most of the others! One game that they did not list is NetTrek, which I used to play online long ago before the invention of the WWW:

It's pretty much dead now; haven't played in many years.
