Description

Empire is a war game played between you and the computer. The world on which the game takes place is a square rectangle containing cities, land, and water. Cities are used to build armies, planes, and ships which can move across the world destroying enemy pieces, exploring, and capturing more cities. The objective of the game is to destroy all the enemy pieces, and capture all the cities. The computer plays by the same rules you do.

This game was ancestral to all later expand/explore/exploit/exterminate games, including Civilization and Master of Orion.
