I noticed a redraw problem with Empire (Interstel's) v2.05 when running on the 3000 under 2.0. When World map is selected and then closed, the area behind where the world map came up remains black, even hiding explored ares of the map. The game never quite recovers after this unless i save, exit, and return from the saved game (which alters the commander stats to keep me from cheating). Other than that the game runs real smooth on the 3000 and spends almost no time thinking about it's moves when the computer is running one or both opponents. Much more fun against humans though, the computer does not do very good strategy as programmed in this game. Not even on expert with much increased protuctivity and combat ratings. Wish it had HEXAGONS, allowed fighters to overfly cities, ships, and armies, and perhaps slow movement through mountains. Would not mind a little economics too. ScottD.
