Tandy 1000HX games
Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2013 11:01 pmI do not remember the name of this particular game that I'd played back then (*late* 1980's/*early* 1990's) but I can describe it:
It was a single-player space exploration game played using ASCII characters (dots, asterisks, etc) while in space ... one could land on planets (these showed actual color images, one screen at a time, as you moved across the screen entering buildings, etc) & travel about, pick up things as you came across them, collect credits by accomplishing things, buy things & sell things, upgrade armor (& ship capabilities?). The ship would sometimes have to battle other ships, & on planets sometimes battle creatures (or aliens?). It was kind of like playing the old ASCII game Rogue but in space.
Also, I do not remember who put it out to the market. I would like to find this game because I never did finish it & it's kind of bugged me, off and on, ever since then!
Thanks y'all, I'd appreciate any help...
