Id an old text BBS game of yore please?

[paperfist]

So I'm not 100% that it was BBS, but it was all text based with maybe some ASCII graphics. lol I probably already lost 80% of the forum.

Anyway you explored in a ship of sorts, could mine asteroids, build space stations around planets and moons. I think there was also trading and fleet construction.

I believe bases/stations were called citadels.

I don't remember much else but always wanted to play it again.

Anyone have some ideas?

Was a game like that called Freetrader. Real early 90s. Had your spaceship you'd fly around in and barter with.

On second thought, you're possibly thinking of TradeWars. http://breakintochat.com/wiki/TradeWars_2002

He is. I played that game back in the early 90's before the internet became available to the rest of us.
