   Thanks guys. I found these as I searched while waiting for replies.   
   However, these are not the game I am looking for. I saw pictures but   
   they didn't ring a bell. yes, theys eem like it. But still not the   
   same.   
   Is there a one stop complete list of Megadrive games that you know of?   
      
   The game was so special because you could fly around a galaxy and get   
   in orbit around a planet and send down a little vehicle that used fuel   
   and had to be taklen abck on bioard before ir tan out. You could shoot   
   and stun creatures that you could sell at a starbase and there weren't   
   many of those. If your ship ran out of fuel, emnergency call would get   
   you back but cost you so much, it would set you back enormously. You   
   could mine panets by douing a scan of the surface and then drill using   
   the vehicle.   
      
   There were wormholes that tranported you elsewhere but that was   
   dangerous because of the fuel proble. The game came with a starmap.   
      
   Perhaps it is one of the games you guys mention....but it doesn't feel   
   or see like it. Strange.   
      
   I loved the game that I borrowed from a freind who worked in a   
   videostore who rented them out but the game crash completley at a   
   certain point. Even a complete restart didn't help.   
      
   Tje idea to use mining vehicle was phenomenal to me.   
      
   The Underdogs carries these games, so you can download them.
