When I was at Univ. of Ill, I had the opportunity to play a cool space conquest simulation game. Now, I would like to buy it, but can't remember the name. :( Maybe someone can jog my memory a bit... Here goes an attempted description... For basic moves, there is a galaxy that is revolving, and the player has the option of moving to a couple of close planets. The player gets the option of designated each planet as a fort, iron something or other, etc. As one games money, you can build more ships. The ships then are "attached" to each planet...that is, when an attacker comes to that planet, those ships are available for combat. Each ship has its own characteristics. THere is a huge ship that can shoot far, but can't turn fast, nor move fast. There is a small ship that is quick, but must be close before it can do any damage. There are other ships as well... Oh yeah, when there is combat, the screen goes from a galactic view, to a close-up view of the planet and the ships orbiting the planet trying to kill each other. There are goodies on some of the planets that you can pick up by claiming the planet for yourself. Such as, turbo engines, etc. This game was running in VGA I believe. Ok, that about does it...anybody know which game I am talking about? Didn't see it the last time to the computer store. THanks Mike mil...@oakhill.sps.mot.com
