Looking for the name of an old late 80s/early 90s Space Exploration for DOS or Apple II
I've made 2 posts on reddit here [https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/27z1rp/looking_for_the_name_of_an_old_dos_space/] and here [https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/3fnzs9/tomt_computer_game_looking_for_the_name_of_an_old/] with no luck.
When I was a kid I used to go to the local library, and pick out a game to play on the computer. It was in the late 80s/early 90s. I would play things like Carmen San Diego, but my favorite was this space exploration game...
There was a rocket you would take off in, and you could go to other planets and land on them, and find weird aliens. I remember there being a bright color palette, orange, pink, yellow.
You had to manually land the rocket on land using the arrow keys, you landed and took off vertically, and you could totally crash and explode.
It wasn't a space sim, it was definitely more about adventure and exploration... easy for an 8 year old to play.
I don't have too many other details, but with No Man's Sky coming out, that is basically the game I imagined I was playing when I played this old game, so I'd really like to see it again.
I know that it is NOT: Space Quest, Elite, Star Control, Starflight, Commander Keen, Resuce on Fractalus...
The cover art for Strange Odyssey [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Odyssey] is almost spot on, but that is a text game, and this game had color graphics
