VGA Planets is a graphical multi-player play by turn war game which
simulates combat in space between galactic empires. The game emphasizes
mining, colonization and the construction of starships. The players compete
against each other economically and militarily on a galactic scale. The
game system allows players to construct their own starships by selecting
various components and placing them on a given hull type. The game can be
played on one computer alone, but it was really designed to be a BBS or
net game. The game can be played on any BBS that supports file transfers,
with or without the sysop's help.

   The game can be compared to a 11 player chess game, only all the moves
take place simultaneously. The game can be played on any IBM compatible
with VGA and a hard drive. This version runs on 286 and faster machines.
The Host program don't need a graphics card, only a hard drive and a 286
or faster machine.
