DESCRIPTION: EGATrek simulates the captains console of a starship, and
places you in command during an invasion by enemy ships. Your task is
to conquer all enemy ships in your assigned portion of the galaxy, using
your ship and its weapons as efficiently as possible.

You are scored on the time you take to complete your mission (IF you
complete it!), plus other bonuses such as rescues, number of enemy ships
destroyed, etc.

EGA card or better (VGA cards support EGA graphics modes) is required.

the game and make copies for others. If you continue to use the
game, however, you are asked to pay the author the registration fee
