Game description:

You have a ship with virtually no equipment. Take her and trade among the different star systems. You can be safe and trade on razor-thin margins among the safe systems, or take some risks and trade with anarchic systems while watching out for pirates. You can save on fuel costs by buying a fuel scoop and fly near the sun, but again, watch out for pirates! Or be a pirate yourself and raid other ships... Don't get a bad rep as the police will come after you... Dock with space stations and do your trades (some may take contraband...) Upgrade your ship with your proceeds with better weapons, shields, and other equipment. With 8 different galaxies, each with HUNDREDS of planets, there are plenty of room for exploration! Can you make your reputation all the way up to "elite"?


What I think:

Well, I can't really say anything, because I had no idea how to move the ship ... and I had no idea how to do some other stuff..

Without a manual, you are screwed...and I had none.

But I know that this game is quite beloved in the C64 community, it is even VERY high on Lemon64's top 100 best C64 games-list!

So I guess if you have the manual for the Apple II it is also that great...
