   It sound like a game from the star control series.   
   Star Control was released for PC, Amiga and Megadrive.   
   Star Control II was released for PC and 3DO.   
   Star Control 3 and 4 had different gameplay.   
   There is a free game called "The Ur-Quan Masters" which is based on Star   
   Control II (but has been improved and extended during the last 4 years)   
   and runs on Linux, Windows and some other OSes. Their homepage is at
