About the same time I was addicted to Empire:
Anacreon Reconstruction

A nifty little, highly detailed, shareware Space warfare strategy 4X game.

Re: OT - What was your first TBS/War game?
Lords of the Earth. Buddy of mine, Tom Harlan, started it when we were in high school, it was the first Play-by-mail - we used paper! - that I got really sucked into. And epic...Almost twenty years later, the same game is going strong, still run by Tom...and there are lots of other campaigns....see:

Once that got me, it was all downhill, and here I am... |

The Universal Military Simulator on the Atari ST. I especially enjoyed the ancient battles.

SSI's North Atlantic '86 on an Apple IIe in 1983....hours and hours of sweating waves of AS-6s.

I forget the name of the program, but there was a TBS wargame construction kit for the Commodore 64 (anybody remember THOSE things...?).

Re: OT - What was your first TBS/War game?
I've played board games for quite some time, but came to the computer later in life. Civilization (the first one) was the first TBS computer game to really draw me in. I played Civ style games almost exclusively for years (Civ II, SMAC, MoO, MoO2), and really only came to SEIV after my disappointment with Civ III.

Re: OT - What was your first TBS/War game?
How is MOO a Civ style game? It seems to be more the same style as SEIV than it is the same style as Civ.

Sounds like SSI's Wargame Construction Set. I think I must have just about everything SSI ever put out for the C64/128 in the '80s. Still have all my 5 1/4" floppies too.

First? Probably Trek, on mainframe computers. Oh no! My photon torpedoes caused a stellar nova chain reaction again!
