Additional Comments

The disk is a "flippy" with the Atari program on one side and the Apple version on the other.

Missing original disk image!

Muffy St. Bernard — 10 Apr 2010
An "Elite"-style space-trading simulation that involves short planetary trips and periodic annoying battles. It's the battles that stop me enjoying this game: a high-pitched siren, the "guess-my-number" style of attack, and the sameness of it all. I have a feeling that there are lots of hidden features in the game -- ones that aren't mentioned in the sparse instructions -- but I can't stand any more battle sequences to find out what they are.
