Take control of the S.T. Jupiter, and become a Star Trucker with hyperdrive and force-field protection!

This program is beautifully written, and does what it tries to do very well. It is a general knowledge quiz linked to an inter-galactic trading game. You are presented with a commission to travel through hyperspace to trade with distant planets and come back with power Crystals. There is a secret 'parents page' so you can put it up to 100 questions each with up to 20 character answers.

I can imagine a teacher coding his or her own questions into this program and integrating it as a welcome part of a series of work for children in need of a little motiviation or light relief.

Taken as a game for one player, it is entertaining and fun, in much the same way as is the adult game Trivial Pursuit.
