There was a game called Empire which had a VMS
incarnation (start with one city, build armies,
conquer the world, ASCII only).
If that's what you are looking for, I'll see if I can dig it out.

I found a few sites with the Unix of Conquest for Solaris, Linux and BSD so
I'm going to try it out and see if it comes close enough, otherwise I'll
keep digging around until I find the VMS version, thanks!

So, the question here is, has anyone else ever played this game and does
anyone know where I can find it to load onto a 3100 ???
Yes, Conquest was basically a VMS version of the great Plato Empire (or =empire if you are a purist). I used
to have a tarball with
the
source but I have no idea where it is anymore,
alas. I assume you
google'd
a bit? You might do a usenet archive search.

Actually this is a Star Trek game involving ascii graphics on VT100
terminals, you would choose from Federation, Orion or Klingon ships. It was
a really cool multi-user game, you could talk to the other players in real
time and it got very addictive (until the Admin pulled it off the Vax cause
it was killing it! :-)

I used to play that game for hours and hours. The thing that saved
me was that my boss played it more than me. :-)
My recollection is that it was freely available as a binary, but
that the FORTRAN source was kept by the developer. Did that change?
Are FORTRAN sources now available?
