this reminds me of a combination of two old atari800 games. one was caverns
of mars, the other i can't remember for the life of me, but it came with the
system I think. It was a space game with like a 50x50 grid of the universe
and stuff. but the very coolest thing was that it was all 3D except for the
grid part. i was like 8 at the time and didn't know what the point was, i
just flew arouind and blew up the ship that I was supposed to dock with
(that looked like this image, except yellow)

Was it called 'Escape from Fractalis' or something?
You had to rescue marooned men and, when you'd got enough you could return
to the mothership.
The aliens were called 'Jaggies' so called coz the game was at such a low
resolution all the lines were really jagged! It was a Lucusfilm game.
Ring a bell?

no, that wasn't it. I don't know if lucasfilm was into games at the time i'm
thinking of. but then again, if you asked me when i got the atarti800, i'd
say like 1983 or something. i don't know when it came out though. it was
probably like 1985 that I got the thing. hazy days those are. the days of
doritos and kick the can.
i might have to go to one of those atari conventions...

I got a game called FireFighter with my 800XL. And another
game called Hijacked that went on forever and was just crap.
