Does anyone remember this game?

Hey All-

First time poster here. Been with Atari since 1979... went from a 2600 to an 800 to a 130xe and then a 1040ST and Jaguar. Had a couple of things published in ANALOG magazine, most notably the SKULL ISLAND adventure game. Also ran an Atari 8-bit 300 baud (yea!) BBS for a couple of years - also under the Skull Island name.

ANYway, I've been racking my brain trying to remember the name of a game - which I'm fairly certain was on the 8-bit platform but might have been on the ST.

It was a game where you flew to the planets within our solar system, including many of the major moons. I believe you had to set certain coordinates to get to the planets/moons but it was also very easy to get lost in deep space. I believe it gave you clues like "Go to the only moon with a retrograde orbit" etc.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Thanks all-

-John
