I'm looking waaay back.... into the deep, profound past, and remembering an
actually pretty good (text mode, 40 columns) DOS 3.3 game for the Apple ][. I
can't for the life of me remember the name, but I remember it was space-system
themed--the "companies" were the letters A through F on the screen, with names
like Altair Industries, Betelgeuse Systems, etc.

This is crossposted to comp.sys.apple2 (against my better judgment, since
crossposts of any kind always seem to cause weeping and gnashing of teeth--
not meant as a derogatory comment towards csa2's regulars), so perhaps someone
there can cluedump on this one, because the name has completely slipped my
mind.
