After making my orig. post I decided to retry the demo.  Only to find 
it's NOT the game I was first thinking of [blush] (what that was called, 
I have /no/ idea!) but the demo has been fun.

Every flight has ended up in disaster so far... it's definitely not a 
freelancer clone, but 'tis fun enough that I keep going back to try and 
do it right.  I'm gonna RTB succesfully once or die trying!  ;)

I see that the full game is available via download, so I guess the CD I 
was first offered may very well be an "original."  I'm still dubious 
about buying from that bloke though, for a variety of reasons, but I can 
see Starshatter being added to my game collection soon, soon...
