>[Talking about the early strategy game Empire:] But the most relevant version for our purposes was created by Walter Bright, a 20-year-old student at the California Institute of Technology, in 1977. Bright himself later ported it to microcomputers, efforts which culminated in him selling the game to a small publisher called Interstel
Bright would later be known for earning over 18000 karma on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=WalterBright https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=WalterBright
Among other things :)
- busterarm 9y agoEmpire (or rather, Empire Deluxe) is still today one of my all time favorite games.
- simonebrunozzi 9y agoI don't have a lot of time to play videogames anymore, but I'm like you - my favorite is Master of Magic (never surpassed, in my view). Sometimes I play it on Dosbox.
- pwang 9y agoAgreed! Empire Deluxe is my favorite! Sadly, I've never been satisfied with the Killer Bees "modernization" ports - the UI/UX is odd and deficient. I just want a good Empire Deluxe for tablet. Polytopia is the closest I've found, but it's not really the same.
