Hello,
I was looking for the old games of Unix, the ones I usually played years
ago.
I was interested in knowing the relationships between them.
It seems Empire served as inspiration for Conquer (Ed.Barlow) and this one
inspired Dominion (aka Stony Brook), also Empire inspired many many others,
like was stated in the
montly posting in rec.games.empire and rec.news
http://groups.google.es/group/news.answers/browse_thread/thread/f101cb2f5092
c2a1/1fee11800033b76a?lnk=st&q=xconq+barlow&rnum=2#1fee11800033b76a
Today I checked:

<<
1986
Initial work on a curses-based Empire clone, manual entry of large world map
earth1.map (now earth-1deg.g)
I wonder if xconq was inspired by conquer in his ideas, or name, or just
directly by Empire itself.
Cheers,
Juan
