    Is this a versioning of TEOS? I have been playing this since the 90s. Lots of fun.

    Actually no - TEOS (The Exploration Of Space) was/is a door game from Seth Robinson, the creator or LORD (Legend of the Red Dragon). Basically it's a space drama that revolves around the interplanetary trading of goods. Players buy items from one space station and transporting their purchases to another in hopes of selling the them at a profit.

    VGA Planets on the other hand was one of the first "door games" where you downloaded a packet of information, played your turn offline (with GLORIOUS VGA GRAPHICS!!! ;) then uploaded your information packet to be processed by the bbs during maintenance.

    VGA Planets is basically a 4x (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate) stragetgy game created by Tim Wiseman. It was so popular it spawned an entirely new game (but basically the same) called "Planets Nu" ( https://planets.nu/ ) that is still quite popular today and played via web, but for a true nostalgic experience it's best to play the original :)
