alright I've got one.

Had a game that came in one of those shareware 100+ games packs from staples, years and years ago. it might have been a 300 Great Games disc? anyway the game was called solarium, solaris, solar something, it had a map of a bunch of planets or stars, probably stars, and a ship that jumped between them. it was a top down view, you had a fuel gauge. that's really all i can remember, i was really young. this was around the early-mid nineties? I doubt anyone remembers it but it haunts me to this day that i could never really do well in it, I was too young to understand it. I want to give it a try now and see if I can win or if it just sucked.

I'm remembering a PC game I bought several years ago, It was a top-down shoot 'em up set in space, where some kind of science experiment had gone wrong and warped you into a weird universe. You piloted a ship (of which you had a couple) away from a larger space-station thing and blew up asteroids to harvest their precious, precious internal minerals. The ships could be upgraded and have new weapons/tools/etc researched, as could the station to a limited extent.

there were several "levels" consisting of many smaller areas, and the end of each area was a bossfight, typical shmup stuff.

My brain is telling me this game was called "stardock" but that's the name of two companies (one a game company, one not gently caress me they're the same company, but still not the maker of this game) and not the name of a game that I have been able to find. Searching just "star" on gamefaqs didn't ring any bells, either. Does anyone remember this or is it all in my head?

Edit: STARSCAPE. I found it. decent game, kinda hard at times though.

You're thinking about Starscape.

Edit: Welp.

Thank you nonetheless, it was driving me completely batty.
