In the recently posted listing of the top 100 pc games (from a poll of 
132 people), one of the highest rated games is called "VGA Planets", or
something like that.  Anyway, it was shown to be a shareware game, yet
I don't recall seeing it at any of the pc-games archive sites.

If this game is shareware, could somebody point me in the direction of
where I can find it on the Internet for ftp-downloading?

Thanks.

Jon

VGA Planets is available via ftp from the following source:

	ftp.ucsc.edu
	/PC/vgaplanets-3.0

Files to download:
	VP300D1.EXE
	VP300D2.EXE

Strategic discussions and information on newly-forming games can
be obtained by subscribing to alt.games.vga-planets.

We currently have an opening for supreme ruler of the Colonies.  We
are playing 3 turns/week (processing Sun Tue Thu 9:00pm EDT) in a 
relatively new game (turn13).  The player who had to drop out has
left them in good shape, with 4 or 5 planets and a ranking of about 
5th place.
