 Interstellar Trader 2 Review for PC at GameSpot
Once upon a time, computer graphical limitations led us to imagine that asterisks were stars, and real galactic emperors might actually have to make decisions based on keyboard choices A through D. Playing Interstellar Trader 2 may make you feel as though you're playing one of these old text-based trading games.
There is something called the "galactic bank" where you can deposit your money prior to leaving a planet so that it cannot be stolen by space pirates.
All you do is slowly amass more and more money by performing rote operations (like the forced order of galactic bank, trade center, and then eventually galactic bank) and watching your cash slowly accrue until you hit whatever amount you set as your victory condition at the start of the game.
