Empire Deluxe
White Wolf Productions released Empire Deluxe for IBM PC MS-DOS in 1993. Empire Deluxe is a turn-based strategy game that features massive maps and campaigns that can go on for thousands of turns. Empire Deluxe advanced features include built-in help, auto-scrolling, slidebar-scrolling and zoomable maps.
Truth be told Empire Deluxe plays better than most modern strategy games, yet runs on toasters.
Empire Deluxe was designed and programmed by Mark Lewis Baldwin and Bob Rakosky.
Empire Deluxe is based on Walter Bright's text-based Empire of 1977 on the VAX, which was coded in FORTRAN. Empire was first conceived in 1971. The seminal Empire would influence Sid Meier's Civilization.
