Hi folks,

There was a game I used to play as a kid, around the Alleycats/Sopwith era, which was great fun (if insanely difficult). I'm trying to remember the name of it.

Basically you started off by selecting a crew for your spaceship, from a mishmash of humans, aliens and robots. Then you selected a cargo to deliver (some easy, some hard), and off you went. Along the way you'd get attacked by pirates, struggle to meet the delivery deadline, have parts break down, etc. It was ridiculously hard and I only ever made it to my destination on time about twice.

I think it was called something really bizarre, with lots of numbers in the name? Pleeease help!

Be awarned, the DOS version can sometimes crash your computer so badly that it can only be repaired by a disk format. I would highly reccomend looking for an emulation of it instead. (I know for a fact one exists, though I forgot it's location...)
