Back in the late '70s, I played a game called -0empire- on a PLATO system hosted, IIRC, at UIUC. Reading http://www.daleske.com/plato/empire.php, the best match to my memory is Empire IV (IIRC, the 0 prefix indicates that the lesson was installed system-wide, rather than being a relatively meaningless part of the name), and http://www.daleske.com/plato/empire-control.php says, inter alia, "You are welcome to look at the source code under Open Source Commons.".
However, it appears my search-fu is too weak to _find_ that source code. So my question for the collective wisdom here is, anyone know where I might be able to find it? /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
