There was this Demo that i never really got a chance to get the full game,
This demo consisted of you being a spaceship starting out on your home planet and your main objective was to kill all other ships (Max of 3 other ships). The demo was on this "Windows 95 Games" white disc that idk how i got it. To my recollection, there was oh... 3-4 races that you can choose from: The Yink,a Chinese girl with long hair looking human (i think the names right), the Dit (A blue flat fish face looking creature with a general hat), a squirrel looking creature with goggles, and i think this green one eyed alien with gold earrings. When you have chosen a race you choose 1 of 2 colors Red or green and a ship. I remember one ship clearly because it was a Yellow Evil smiley Face with red eyes that were half circles, the other ships were like Triangles with blue eyes and mechanical arms coming out of them. So All you do is start from your home planet and go to other planets and see if they are inhabited or not. If they are inhabited you can either trade with them or shoot them with various types of weapons to then colonize them with the people on your ship (you get people from landing on your home planet or your own planets), or mine for resources (it looked more like you scanned it than mined it) Which was represented by a yellow bar on the right side when you stopped on the planet. The weapons (a weak red lazer being the first one you get along with 1 shield)was bought on planets and i think there was like 10-15 different weapons. You were the center of the screen and it moved with you, so it was 2d but the planets rotated as if they were 3d cuz they looked that way. The space around you was black on your radar until you passed it and was divided into 4 sectors and those 4 sectors was divided into like 10 or so sectors. I beg of you guys, help meh get my memory back haha.
EDIT: I found a game that has very similar qualities maybe just slightly better and more complicated: Starship Unlimited. Its like this except less complicated
