i know this gets a bit boring, but who better to ask than the experts. I am knocking on a bit now and it is a long time since i used my spectrum (i purchased it when it was first released in the UK). The game i am looking for (i believe it was on the spectrum), was based on a distant planet and you had to collect parts for your spaceship (sails etc) to allow you to leave. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    On the other hand, Jetpac is a great game.

    You buy bits for your ship in Elite.

    Why would you collect a sail for a spaceship?

    In all seriousness though, could it be Brainache. If it is though you're not gonna get it here it's by Codemasters and the copyright still stands on the Codies games.

    A theoretical method of powering an interplanetary spaceship without needing an engine or fuel, using the pressure of solar radiation on a massive sail. Apparently a 1 sq.km. sail could accelerate to 1km/sec. (about 2160 mph) in about 11 days.

    Remember the Solar Sailer in Tron? That was a simulation of a seriously-proposed idea -- see Arthur C. Clarke's short story "Sun-Jammer", for instance.
