VGA-Planets makes top 15 From: cg@primenet.com (cg) Date: Sun, 27 Oct 1996 00:00:00 +0000 CGW 15th Anniversary Special 1996 The 15 Best Shareware Games 7. VGA Planets (1993) "The most traditional spaceploitation game of [1993], VGA PLANETS, still managed to break new ground; it is a shareware game that runs on any computer via email. Up to 11 players can carve up and exploit a 500 world universe in the comfort of their own homes, and when they have finished a round of managing their worlds and fleets, they simply order the software to pack the turn into a convenient single file that can then be uploaded to the internet. The internet host program integrates the turns, resolves conflict, and updates the galaxy. Diplomacy, treaties, and Jihads abound in this game, which is very similar in feel to a play-by-mail system but without the cost and wait." --Martin Cirulis, CGW #115 Referenced By Up
