Some long and complex simulations which, unlike many
similar programs have good graphics support. EMPIRE is a 'ruler'
simulation but unlike others is based on history being set in the
Mediterranean between 1480 and 145 BC. You may fight the armies of
surrounding countries or try diplomacy in an attempt to complete your
reign of your chosen country. The style is very much that of wargaming.
RAILKING is set in the USA at the time of the early railroads and is a
game for 1 to 4 players in which you must try and amass a fortune by
building railroads and moving goods between places. This has graphics
and a save game feature and you may play against friends or the
computer. A very extensive playing manual is on the disk. Finally NORAD
is a sort of adventure/ simulation in which you must hack your way into
the Whitehouse Defence computer. There are few clues and a lot of
brainwork required. These are all good quality simulations that will
give you many hours of pleasure.
