VGA Planets (DOS)
SHAREWARE
Version: v3.0
Type: Shareware
Author: Tim Wisseman
Publisher Description
VGA Planets is a graphical, multi-player, play by electronic mail, space war game. This game simulates combat in space between galactic scale empires. The game emphasizes colonization of space and the development of the planets that you will find, colonize and/or conquer. How well you develop these resources will determine what kind of starships (freighters and capital ships) you will be able to produce and how well you will be able to defend your space and attack your neighbors.
VPA – VGA Planets Assistant
Version: v3.80
Type: Freeware
Author: Alex Ivlev and others.
Homepage: VPA Project Page @ Sourceforge.net

VGA Planets Assistant (VPA) is an alternative VGA Planets client program for MS-DOS. Suggestions from many experienced players were used in the program design. VPA implements a number of unique features that are unlikely to be ever seen in other VGAP utilities.

VPA works with great performance even on a 286 PC under MS-DOS with plain VGA video adapter and doesn’t require you to buy an expensive Pentium/SVGA workstation or mess with MS Windows. VPA is an add-on to DOS PLANETS.EXE, though you’ll never have to start PLANETS.EXE any more. And I bet you’ll never want to… <g>

VPA will keep your PLANETS registration – if you were registered all tech levels and friendly codes will be available to you, if you were using shareware PLANETS.EXE all the limitations will remain. But in any case your play will be amazingly enhanced and simplified.
