One of the earliest real-time space combat / trading / strategy game was well ahead of its time for its blend of trading and combat that preceded EA's classic Starflight by a few years. A hit on Commodore 64, it was largely unknown to the nascent PC gaming world.
Even with its limited 4-color CGA palette, the game's graphics are superb, and the action gets very intense at times. The aliens are even more colorful and varied than Starflight, and some space combat sequences approach the intensity of Star Control despite non-intuitive controls.
Remember: buy low, sell high :)

I loved this game on the C128. I would play it in the dark and pretend to be the ships captain. So many fond memories, I need to download this and show it to my kids.
I remembet it very well. One of my favorite games. I remember the guy in the motor room how he was sweating.
Hey WIsty, I had that compilation as well and played them all to death too! Was only about 8 years old at the time.
I remember loving PSI 5 Trading Company, great game!
one of my fav games with wizball and winter games back then
I got this in a compilation of Tag Team Wrestling, Bruce Lee and Dambusters with my original Amstrad PC512 in 1987. This, Bruce Lee and Dambusters were played to death in those days. PSI 5 was a big fav of mine an so much fun.
