Hey Walter, thanks for doing the interview and AMA, how cool! I was a young teen when my Dad got Empire and began to play it regularly with one of his friends.

Hey Walter, thanks for doing the interview and AMA, how cool! I was a young teen when my Dad got Empire and began to play it regularly with one of his friends. I would frequently watch them play while trying to learn the game mechanics and strategy, and then later would play the game myself for hours on end. That time watching and playing Empire was really an introduction to computing and gaming for me and would later lead to a passion for building, RTS/fog-of-war games (e.g. starcraft), and a career building software. Just wanted to say thanks! Now I need to figure out how to download the game and play it with pops.
