I remember that one! It had a planet map and you had to make the right jump
or you'd die while flying. I remember getting quite far, working out a route
but running out of fuel just before completing it... can't remember the name
of it though unfortunately :-(

How about a two-part text adventure called, I think, GALAXY. I remember a
scene in the first part where you have to wear x-ray specs to get past an
infra-red alien or something. I enjoyed playing it but the disk it was on
got corrupted. Anyone know where I can get that?

Cheers,

Matt
