Probably goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The players' homeworlds in the corners tended to have 1-2 close neighbors so both sides could build up decent resources before sending out fleets.ġ4. In your first turn, you can send a fleet to the enemy's homeworld if you want. A fleet moves one 'space' per turn, and there are no restrictions on movement other than that. You control the planet if you get there first, but you had better keep a decent fleet in orbit to defend it.ġ3. Every planet is habitable and produces resources.ġ2. There is one class of ship that you send out in fleets.ġ0. Response by poster: Stellar Conquest does seem to be inspiration for the game but now I can add these additional points:ĩ. posted by CarlRossi to Computers & Internet (8 answers total) But nonetheless, I want to know its name. If there's even a version that will still work today. Google searches turn up results that point me to Sins of a Solar Empire and the like, but sometimes I want a game that'll take 15 mins to play instead of days. I'm hoping this game wasn't just limited to URI, but was a common PR1ME program for geeks to kill time. I don't think there was another one, I think the other one was an internet server. I think I played this on my university's (URI) PR1ME/PrimOS, as opposed to another mainframe. One could expect the game to take about 15 - 20 minutes to play.Ĩ. The winner was the one who controlled all the planets. The victor was the one who had ships remaining at the conclusion of the battle.Ħ. What was unique was an animated counter that showed real-time losses. When ships crossed paths in space, or when your ships attempt to take an enemy planet, they battled. Planets were randomly populated around the screen and the player and computer player started at opposite corners.ĥ. The screen did not scroll to show more territory.ģ.
It was an Empire style game that took place on a single screen.Ģ. (Could be VT-102, but don't hold me to that, let's say it's in the VT-100 family.)ġ. Game was made prior to 1993, single player, turn-based, ASCII characters on a VT-100 terminal.
