Vagan Attack

Calling Earth... come in Starfleet Command. We are hopelessly lost somewhere off the right of the screen. All systems are so badly chewed up that even the Damage Report mechanism just spurts out gibberish. Our engines won't move us. We are floating helplessly in the inky darkness beyond the Galactic Rim. Even, God help us, a suicide attempt with an anti-matter bomb failed to end it all. Will someone, somewhere *please* tell us how to QUIT?

Answer - you can't. Apart from that rather obvious fault (I got lost first move) this is a reasonably sprightly split-screen space strategy game in which we, with two kinds of drive, three kinds of weapon and several varieties of scanner, buzz about the galaxy putting the Vagans in their place. Not bad but nothing special.
