Competition: Name the game

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay, I'll try one.

Clue 1: Released in early '80s for both C64 and Apple, under two different names (I think that there was also an IBM port as well). For full credit name both games.
Clue 2: Much later another another classic was developed based on these games that involved Cows.

[FrustratedPoet]

It wasn't a game to do with Llama's, was it? Revenge of the killer Llamas or something? I have vague memories of a game like that and, IIRC, they made a sequel with cows.

On the other hand perhaps it was all some sort of hellish nightmare.

[DrSpike]

I also have hazy memories.........was it called Llamatron?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Nope, and Nope. Don't take my clues too literally.

Clue 3: On the most difficult setting the AI start 4 tech levels above you (At least on the C64 version).

MOO 0.3?......could be a reference to cows?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Give that man a lollipop, a clue has been unlocked. Now figure out what the names of the games are.

Clue 3: The apple version's name is has had a thread title in the other games section in the last week.

But, full credit only for both games.

well i give up! i had the wrong hardware in this period i think

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay, practically giving it away now.

Clue 4: The Apple version's name had the initials RFTS
The C64 version's name had the initials IG

That should help get one of them.

[Adagio]

I've got no clue... I have never seen an Apple from that time... didn't know anyone who had one (except for those apples that can be eaten of course )

[Spaced Cowboy]

Does this mean that I win cuz no one can guess, or do I keep giving clues?

[CapTVK]

SSI's Reach for the stars and Imperium Galactum

[CapTVK]

Phew, that was a merry chase.

[Spaced Cowboy]

Okay cap...you got it...finally

I was not sure that anyone would.

I believe that the floor is now yours!

Don't worry, I have more of the ugly ones.

[CapTVK]

Let's see, see...hmmmm a nice game. I'm working under the restriction of doing things in rhymes so it should have a nice ring to it.
