Vortex: (Software Invasion)
Pilot your five star fighter through deep space, using laser

are faced with high speed asteriods which must be avoided. Then
you accelerate towards the Black Hole to face yet more aliens
and asteroids.

to buy a Super Computer. You must mine for rare minerals on strange
planets and trade with other races for food, air and fuel.
