That was the first real mulitplayer game that kicked ass.
Each day you got to run your industrial areas, farms, factories, you got money from your realms and bought new realms or tanks, infantry, fight jets, bombers.
It was very cool and it got a world wide following, our sysop spent $100's a month connecting to USA, Europe, it was great, cause you could work as a team on your BBS and BOMB other BBS's entire realms, instead of funneling money into your own war planes and tanks etc, you would put it all into a super weapon that then got sent and blew the shit out of other BBS's.
We got so good at it our little New Zealand BBS was freaking HUGE.
It would be funny playing it now, only 5 minutes of play each day, that would drive me nuts now days, I'd want to play it non stop.
It was a text based game only btw. Anyone else here played it?

This is my all time favorite game. I actually contacted the new author after it
Mehul patel or whatever his name was sold it and offered to do a port to linux. No reply to the email so I gave up.
I ran it on my own board, multiple games, although the best game I played was a very large multi-bbs game via fido with boards all over northern ontario. I didn't win,
but was the only one to do any serious damage to the board that did win.
(got emails and stuff from that board saying "Come play here!" to which I replied...
uh.. no, that's a 0.60/minute phone call every day.
Those were the days. Waiting to play until 11:30pm so you could play, log off, wait 5 mins, log on, play again to
be sure you really crushed someone good....
