Originally produced for the C64.

The Spectrum version was by David M. Banner with graphics by Terry Greer.

The PCW dispensed with the graphics altogether but replaced them with massively expanded location descriptions.

I've only played this on the C64, and the graphics draw at an a-g-o-n-i-z-i-n-g pace. Dreadful. Otherwise it's decent but not on par with the sequel.

Try it on the Spectrum instead. The graphics are colourful and nearly instantaneous. It's far from perfect - the vocabulary is far too small, for one - but certainly enjoyable.

Hmmm... that might be an option. I don't know why, but I liked both games a lot (probably more than they warranted). Too bad the third game was never created.

I just wish Empire had been released on the Speccy. I don't think it ever was.

No, C64 and CPC only. The former has slow (although much improved) graphics and nice music, whereas the latter has quick visuals but no tunes (AFAIR).

The Spectrum version is all right; it was converted by David Banner using the same parser of his other earlier works. A compact, unsophisticated game, a bit on the formulaic side, but manages to engage the player.
