Hey Netters! Are you familiar with a game called Empire? It's a solitaire game played against the computer. I've seen versions for the VAX and for MS-DOS. I'm looking for a copy, and especially for the source. An old roomate who worked at a computer lab at Temple got a copy there a few years ago. Ring a bell, Temple folks? This is not the interactive game played in the rec.games.empire newsgroup. It's a one-person game of "take their land away" (a traditional American pastime!). Thanks in advance for any help!

Don't know where the source is. DO know that Sid Meier's "Civilization", a recently released piece of commercial software, is pretty much "empire" done the way it always should have been done. Having "Civilization", I should think that there'd be no need for source code.
