The game is verry old but I remember it pretty good. You played as a green ship, with some ally's. You had yellow rockets, blue rockets, purple rockets if I'm not mistaken, some of them were heatseeking but I don't remember that, any idee what the name is? you moved your ship by changing arrow directions.

This game is hard to find....

Sorry I don't remember the detailed things. It's 15 years ago, but I do remember now that the yellow rocket was heatseeking and the purple one went straight. The maps were the same I think, always black background. Probaly I had a demo version cause I always had to be the same space ship. When you was almost dead you could go in a escape pod that was VERRY smal and it could only fly in 1 direction. The full version had some better ships to with a sort of light blue rockets. When the game ends you sometimes get some trophies for most kills and that sort of stuff. Sorry but I can't remember more.

I'm starting to think that the game was on a cd with another 100 games. From intertoys or something -.-

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, still too vague, doesn't ring a bell.
But you always can take a look @4X games @ mobys, you never know you'll find it:

Wikipedia has also some 4X games:

(scroll down for a (-small)- list.)

HotUs is also a possibility to find it, but it's rather slow and thus not so good as search engine:

Good luck, and let us know if you should find it ....

Sorry but I think I'm going to give up, I will try one more thing and that is getting the super old computer out of my garage and hope it still works with all the spiders in it, maby it was a installed game on that computer, if it's not that, than it's a cd with more than 100 games on it and I have no idee where that cd could be. Probaly it will take a while before il post something about the game.
