VMS-Empire is a simulation of a full-scale war between two emperors,
|
|
the computer and you. Naturally, there is only room for one, so the
|
|
object of the game is to destroy the other. The computer plays by
|
|
the same rules that you do. This game is the ancestor of all the
|
|
multiplayer 4X simulations out there, including Civilization and
|
|
Master of Orion.
|
|
|
|
Apparently, this game was originally written outside of Digital,
|
|
probably at a university. The game was ported to DEC's VAX/VMS from
|
|
the TOPS-10/20 FORTRAN sources available around fall 1979. Ed James
|
|
got hold of the sources at Berkeley and converted portions of the
|
|
code to C, mostly to use curses for the screen handling. He published
|
|
his modified sources on the net in December 1986. Because this
|
|
game ran on VMS machines for so long, a previous version is known
|
|
as VMS Empire.
