This game... is old... I cant remember the name, and probably will be of no help to anyone who wants to help me..
BUT, there was an old space game, I remember playing as a child, on an old IBM 33Mhz, it was a dos based game (arent quite a few of them, har har har) that had joystick compatibility, where you flew around in space and did something... yeah... something...
Sorry, lacking on the real details, but what I can remember is fighting space battles and shooting my nice square weapons, PEW PEW! at a ship that reminded me of the death star (probably before or after star wars, cant recall, again, a child), you could/would get/pickup/buy parts for you ship, and this is the part that might help someone help me, they where all square in their main shape, but they fit in the ship, some looked like a fan off an old heatsink, some looked like a diamond and such, and you went to this screen, and when in a battle and such the parts could become broken and you could see that when you went to the screen, they where like cracked or something of the sort... you interacted with different races/species, and I could swear you could warp or transport to different areas and sum such...
Thats it for now... if I have another brain blast (spurred on by looking at that 10 RPG's from the 1980's news article), where more BITS and SMALL PIECES (as you have undoubtedly come to the conclusion after reading my nonsense) come back to me, I will try to add them to the terrible list.
Hopefully someone out there is in the 30~ crowd and will remember this awesome little gem...
