Here's a little probem I have, and this seems like a good place to post it.Years ago I played a DOS game in which you piloted a little gray spaceship called an ADC around. At the beginning of every mission you would take off from a capital ship of some kind, perform a mission (usually a patrol), return to your mothership, and land (by pressing L iirc).During the course of a mission you might fly through asteroid fields and engage alien spacecraft in combat. Asteroids were light brown. Enemies came in three varieties (at least in the demo): gray crescents, green "TIE fighters", and red (I think) "Y" shapes.The game was played from a top-down perspective. The left and right keys rotated your spaceship, as you would expect.That's about the size of it. My hazy memories suggest that it was named "Starhammer", but that could be completely wrong. I don't think it is. I just had the demo version, so I don't expect my account to be complete.What I'd really like is to track down the full version of this game, as it was great fun and I never got to play more than the demo. However, I haven't managed to find even a trace of its existence on the Internet. At this point I'd be glad if someone could tell me I didn't imagine it all.
i use to play this cool game rooms were a person had a shotgun and you would have to go threw a house and kill all the people anybody know where i can find this

God of Thunder + Scorched Earth + Sim City 2000 + Raptor: Call of the Shadows = instant digg.
