I tracked down my backup copy of VGA Planets last night (I had burned the files from the 3.5" floppies to a CD-R -- good thing, too, 'cause I have no idea where the floppies are). I installed the game, grabbed the updates at the Web site, downloaded the CPlayer (computer player) application, ran the setup on the game with my preferences, created a batch file to process turns and then started playing. ... Yeah, VGA Planets comes out of an era of PC games when you had to work for your enjoyment. If you didn't know your way around batch files and manual updates, you were screwed.
