  [1;33mUltimate Universe [37mhas been likened to the [35mthinking man's TradeWars [37mand
  that reputation is not undeserved. [33mUltimate Universe[37m, or [33mUU[37m, is probably
  one of [36mthe most under-rated door games [37maround today. Like TradeWars, [33mUU
  [37mplaces you at the helm of a space-going vessel, trading commodities
  across the galactic divide but this is where the similiarities end. [33mUU [37mis
  much more detailed and in-depth and this may turn off some users who are
  looking for something which requires a little less of an investment of
  their time and mental processes. With features like [32mseveral hundred
  technological devices [37mwith which to outfit your vessel ranging from beam
  weapons to hunter drones, or the ability to create a multiverse where
  players can "gate" from one dimension to another, this may intimidate
  some less adventureous types. That's fine though, they can stick with the
  relative safety and comfort of TradeWars.

  This is the type of game where strategy and tactics are more important
  than firepower and brute force. In [33mUU [37myou actually have a goal when you
  play, as opposed to TradeWars, which is really nothing more than a
  free-for-all. The basic idea behind [33mUU [37mis that the universe is being
  over-run with an evil, conquering race of aliens called [0;31mThe Cabal[1;37m.
  The human [0;36mFederation [1;37mhas become desperate and in serious need of
  captains to pilot warships to combat this threat. That's where the
  players come in. The [0;36mFederation [1;37mallows a new player to buy a warship on
  credit. This purchase must be paid back within a set period of time and
  the player must trade, report [0;31mCabal [1;37msightings, etc. to get income in order
  to pay off the debt. Once the debt is paid off, the player owns his ship
  and may do with it as he pleases, but remembering always, the threat of
  the [0;31mCabal[1;37m. As with TradeWars, players may form corporations with one
  another, as well as colonize planets. In [33mUU[37m, the enemy is not other
  players, it is [0;31mThe Cabal [1;37mso destroying another players vessel may give
  someone more than they bargained for. One feature of [33mUU [37mwhich I find very
  appealing is that in the registered version, you are allowed to [32mimport
  and export your ship [37mto other registered [33mUU [37mgames on other BBS's. This is
  a feature I wish would be included in TradeWars.
