- Actually it has already been info where to get the game. I got mine from
- ftp.ucsc.edu in the directory /pc/vgaplanets
-
- VGA-planets is played in two-dimensional space. You are supposed to capture
- you opponents (and free) planets by using space-ships you build on your
- own planets.
- Each turn you do your moves and then send in a small file, containing all
- vital information about your moves, to a BBS etc. When your opponents also
- have sent in their files, the administrator of the game updates all the
- moves and returns the same small file, containing yours and your opponents
- moves to you whereupon you analyze the game and make your new moves.
