subject: Help finding Apple II game

Hi, everybody!

I recently discovered a website called Virtual Apple
http://www.virtualapple.com/ which has about 1,000 old Apple II and IIgs
disk images and an emulator that runs them.  It's great because I've been
able to play my old favorites again like Karateka and Taipan.  However,
I've not been able to locate some games I enjoyed playing because I don't
remember the actual names.

One I am looking for was a galaxy conquest game.  You'd send ships off to
conquer planets.  It would sometimes take several turns for the ships to
reach a planet, and if you timed it right reinforcements from several
sources could converge on the same turn.  Defending ships would rise from
the planet and the battle would be waged off-screen with you only getting
the summary as little * symbols as ships were destroyed.  I think it was
pretty much all text with little if any graphics.

Does anyone remember the name of a game like this?

Thanks,
Troy
