I’m looking for strange/interesting/obscure PC games. Could be anything from Windows, DOS, Mac OS (old school), PC-98, Amiga, or whatever else I’m missing there. Let’s hear ‘em!

Lightspeed by MicroProse

It is an Elite like game from the 90s where you had to trade, battle, and negotiate with aliens for fuel and equipment. You could also colonize planets for resources and the like.
