Basically, you are the captain of a starship that you select the crew for (you can pick different races for each position each with their own strengths and weaknesses) and you can upgrade your ship with better armor, shields, engines, etc. You need to go from planet to planet (i believe the game even included a fold out map of the galaxy) and collect minerals, alien creatures, etc. and trade them for cash, which you can then use to upgrade the ship or train the crew.
Starflight 1 and 2. Excellent games, both.
