: Actually, I think the game was called SunDog, which ran on the Apple II, 
: and was truly awesome for its time. Written by a guy named Bruce Webster, 

The game was written by FTL Software, and I believe it debuted on the 
Atari ST.  It was one of the first games I bought fot it - it was truly 
awesome for the time.  Very much like Privateer - you traded, explored 
planets, got robbed ont he street, used teleporters, went to the bank, 
flew in space, hyperjumped, and had dogfights.  VERY cool.
