Me too - man, those were the days. I especially loved the recognition manual:

Two blocks and 1 stick = destroyer
Three blocks and 2 sticks = merchant

Been hooked ever since
hell yea, ingame it doesn't work... all ship looked the same

It was one of the copy protection you have to find the manual if you *borrow* it.

Of course the copy protection have evolued since and is now known as StarForce
As a budding programmer at the time, the thing I liked most about it was that with a simple Ctrl-Break and LIST you had the whole code at your disposal. And it was in easy-to-read Basic, not machine code! Ahh, the days...
