Memories of Q-Type

Does anyone remember Q-Type? I've been searching for a free-ware version for a while now but I can't find anything. Can anyone help me get this antique?

Mind jogging our admittedly senescent memories? What is it?

Isn't that the side (platform) view with a space rocket where you shoot alians? Sort of like R-type.

the underdogs

there was a website, www.theunderdogs.org , that used to have all the old school computer games available for download including apple II, vic-20, C-64, and some Atari emulators that would run on pc and/or mac.

It would seem, that the website is under reconstruction, or has been torn down. If I find anything else, I'll post it here.

No, wait! Q-type was a DOS-based program teaching you to type IIRC... Or am i mistaking?

On subject of old games, anyone heard of an old DOS game called Spacewar? It had combat between 2 ships, and different options allow you to place a sun or planet in the center of the screen, intense gravity, bouncing stars, etc.

Now I know at least someone has heard of it. Any hints on where to find a Windows copy?
