There are quite some games similar to Stars!, but as "simple"... Only old games would fit there, like Spaceward Ho!, RTFS1 or MoO1. "New" games are fitted with much more/higher quality graphics to fit in few MBs. -New- in quotes, because Ascendancy isn't new, but with it's 50+MB it was the first strategy game I could't put on my 486 (or was it 286?) because I didn't had enough room on 80MB disk.

OT: The first one game of all that didn't fit on my disk was Wing Commander 1. To made room for 8.4MB on 16MHz 286 with 21MB seagate 225 I killed most games and several utility programs (IIRC Dbase 3, there were no Windows at that time on my comp to make lots of room fast Wink). I've never regretted that move!
Eh, nostalgy. Obviously I'm geting old. Confused Wink
