Possibly the only game I ever played where even the copy protection mechanism was entertaining. The game relied on your entering a game code to "validate" your installation. It would initially let you play even if you entered the wrong value a time or two, but eventually your in-game ship would be pulled over by some sort of galactic space cops, and you needed to give them the correct answer or bad things would happen. My girl friend and I used to both play this all the time, back in the day. It had a lot of humor in the interaction with alien races, but it was a pretty neat game in general, with both strategy and role-playing elements. I'm not sure how well it'll play in this day for someone who's never heard of it, but it has a lot of nostalgia value for me, so I'm sure I'll enjoy playing around with it again.
