Its an online game, it is text based and you play it whit your browser (our a tellnet application in my case) visit the Trade Wars 2002 forum for more details.
You are a trader in a large universe, and read the documentation before you start (I didnt, flew into a space mine and was toast).
Luckily I had an excape pod and was able save enough money to buy myself a ship that although it wasnt as good as the one I started whit was still ok.
I really like to barter when I buy goods to, the game is simple but really funny.
Oh and my corperation is named Spiderweb Inc (I see a future when all planets are connected by my traders )
