VGA Planets 4
Both are 4X games, made back in the early 90's for BBS play:

As far as I know the sequel to Stars! is as good as dead, as is the company, but could be wrong I guess.
As for the original, it is a great game, I actualy have it installed :-) I have the original CD from Empire Interactive. One of the first CD games that I remember, that had a "Key". Good thing it doesn't need the freaking CD to play. |

I played Stars! a lot when it was still Abandonware (a loooooooooong time ago...). Sadly I lost the copy I had. :tai: Very good game.
Never played VGA Planets. Look like a very good game tough. |
