Name this old browser-based game

I'm trying to come up with the name of a browser-based game I played back around 1998 or so. It was a space conquest game, with the goal being control of territory (planets). The mechanics were based around "turns" which were a resource granted over time. For example, you might get 100 turns every two hours and you might choose to spend 50 turns to build 1,000 fighters. The other specifics that I can recall:

--The size of attacks was ridiculous. The number of ships you might send against another player's planet would number in the tens of thousands.

--You could attack up 10% and down 10% from your rank. I remember this because there was a large Korean contingent in the game that had a tendency to issue me crushing defeats from the edge of that limit while I slept.

--At times, the game offered bonus turns for doing things like clicking on a set of ads.

--Free to play / Ad driven.


Hopefully this description doesn't match too many games. Thanks for any help in sorting out what it was!

I would have suggested Ogame, but that was much after 1998. Very similar though.
 
I don't remember it even having graphics to the level of UltraCorps. The interface was really pretty basic.

Thanks for the ideas so far though.

God the amount of time I wasted with Ogame. All for what? When I was taken down I at least made the Top 10 for debris created.
 
I never did any PC gaming until 2003. Now I'm all PC gaming. I have saved some flash games like Pacman, Frogger, Pong, etc.
