Howdy,
I remember playing empire on VAX/VMS which was not Peter Langston's version.
You played against the computer, and the computer player wasn't half bad.
I had the source back when I was running on a
DEC-SYSTEM 10 (those were the days, weird but still interesting). I know the
computer player in the game was made much more intelligent since I got the
source. I now have access to a number of various machines and architectures,
including a DEC PDP-11/70, and I would like to be able to get a copy of that
version of empire. Binaries would be good, but sources would be much better.
Anybody out there know of a way of getting at the program. Is it only
available as distributed for VAXen ? Anybody at DEC know anything about it ?

Please post that or send me info if you have any. That program was my altime favorite. Source is a neccesity, though, since I'm on UNIX*. Brian Sutin astrovax!sutin * trademark, uh, uh, ...
