I'd forgotten all about the Dan Dare games, haven't played those for 15 years or more....will have to fire these up my my C64!
Epyx:
LOL...just saw the links now...I think the incorrect one was cached...ill fix those.

Ya Epyx was obviously one of my favourites. I loved the "Games" series, Apshai etc.

Lots of other great dev/publishing houses though:

EA (back when gameplay was important!) M.U.L.E, Archon, Bard's Tale

Origin Systems

It's not Dan Dare. The game was not a platformer. (Speaking of Dan Dare game, why is there a vibrator shooting at his head on the cover art? http://www.dan-dare.net/Dan%20C64/Dan-Dare-Commodore-64.htm )

The game graphics were more like long side-view corridors. It seemed very "Aliens" inspired. I used to think it was called "Stellar 7" until I looked it up and remember that Stellar 7 is a 3D tank game I used to love.

So the title might sound similar to that. With a number in it. Also, I think the game might have been from europe and never released in North America.

Epyx:
Hmm there were two variations of Aliens...the NA/Euro versions. I always preferred the NA one with the ship landing sequence...could it be the Euro one you are thinking of?
nipsmg:
Are you sure it's C64?  Sounds somewhat familiar to something out of Sierra's Space Quest series (2 or 3?!?).
