If I could scream "ME TOO!" I would.  Anyone who knows anything
about different versions of this fantastic game, please post!  My
old copy kept locking up, which was very frustrating because you
lose your ENTIRE game in progress.  The screen would go red on my
520ST and that was the end of my whole game (it deleted it on disk
when loaded in memory).  Someone told me that related to having a
pirated copy but I had bought mine... in fact I returned a copy of
it once for another one with no luck.

And what games are similar to this on the PC?  How about Star
Control or SC2?

Thanks!
