Just to clear things up here - There is three games both called EMPIRE 3/ a strategic war game which has been around for years (Public Domain or Share ware for the IBM) which involves capturing individual (initially neutral) cities and having them produce armys, planes, and a large assortment of boats and subs, then attacking the enemy cities. winner being the last to survive (taken all enemy cities and destroyed all his armies). Display consists of ansi graphics characters. I too prefer Type 2 Since it is available for the amiga. I have spent many hours playing that game. Is there any one out there that would be intrested in playing by email? Thanks Dave --- David Compton, INTERNET: dec@daves.SR.COM (I speak for no one but myself.)
