Cirvol,
Mark Kinkaid bought the rights to it, Fixed a lot of bugs and Made it easy to play across the internet.
Current play is very much like Empire Deluxe. For $30 it is well worth it. (in my opion). There is a demo you can download. There is no password protection, (one of the major issues with the 80s Version).
Mark is very active with the game and intends to develope a Version where you can create your own units. Take a look at the Development page.
