I have seen and used an EGA version of RISK (probably shareware).
I don't know where to get it.

Much more interesting is the on-line multi-player BBS game: GLOBAL WAR.
Essentially RISK with a few adjustments.

Anyone know of FTP sites for the Global war terminal programs?
Anyone have any sort of list of BBSs with Global War?
