- yborg 7y agoI remember Empire on the old PLATO system, the grandaddy of them all. Orions, represent!
- sliken 7y agoHeh, yes. It played WAY WAY WAY smoother in the late 80s than space frigates plays on my 3+ GHz desktop. At the time netrek was near unplayable on my 386. But I got the optional 387 FPU and a S3-801 (that had hardware support for vectors) and suddenly netrek, xpilot, and similar vector games played great.
- Tepix 7y agoHell yeah. We even had various leagues such as the INL (International Netrek League). 8 vs 8 (plus up to 16 spectators) e-sports in the mid 90s!
