> Howdy, I'm hooked on the games Strategic Conquest and Reach for the >Stars for the Apple II series (a GS which now pretty much stands for Game >System for me), and I'm wondering if there are any games much similar to the >two. Strategic Conquest is according to friends similar to the mainframe game >EMPIRE, but with graphics and some other interesting things. mainly, you >start with some tanks and a city, and the whole worldmap is black. you have >to go out and explore the world, while building up your military (you can >build sea-going stuff at oceanside cities, air stuff anywhere)... you also >have to contend with the enemy who has to deal with the same problem.. it's >good because of the planning involved with the industrial side, along with the >strategic aspects as well. Reach for the Stars is quite similar but in terms >of space. > any takers? Yea, I've played a game on the net called Galactic Bloodshed. You start as a race on a planet (your own design of race) and explore reproduce build resorces technology and such then explore other planets ofcource while this is going on there are anywhere from 1 to 100 other players doing the same thing in other systems. So ya build ships, fighters, battle cruisers, ect... and war breaks out. There is anouther game called Conquest played the same way only on the planet scale. You can find more info about GB (Galactic Bloodshed) in alt.games.gb Hope this helps. Bill, (Repodvascus) wcal...@nmsu.edu
