it was from the ega era i believe 1986-1988, had the magenta color palette (purple) but i remember the game only having 1 or at most 4 colors it was all purple/ish.... the title was ONE WORD
i always thought the title was OTOPOS but i checked it and thats a different game .... (maybe similar )

1 or 4 colors and purple being notable sounds a lot like CGA. The default CGA graphics color palette is black/cyan/magenta/white. Are you sure you are looking at an EGA game?

scifi game setting 1st person : you navigate through a spaceship with narrow corridors and crude early drawn graphics which imitate a 3d 1st person perspective
you could check on terminals and such things

You're saying it isn't Oo-Topos? It certainly aligns with your description: https://www.mobygames.com/game/148433/oo-topo … creenshots/dos/

you might be right OOTOPOS seems to be it .... i just remembered a little different , w/o texts for instance
