Re: Looking for ANCIENT Apple game

["supportUSA.com" <incoming@supportUSA.com>]

Close, in fact that game was from the same publishing company (Automated
Simulations/Epyx), however, after much digging, I found that the title of
the exact game I am looking for is called STAR WARRIOR.

Thanks for the help, now I jsut need to find someone who still has that disk
for the Apple!
