  1. Anyone remember Galactic Empire? on Terminus Has Gone Gold · · Score: 1

    Okay I realize this predates mass public usage of the Internet by quite some time, but does anyone remember the old Galactic Empire game that was run on MajorBBS/Galacticom Boards?

    If so, how would one rate Terminus to GE?

    I loved GE for so many reasons, the tactical and stategical requirements, and the complexity of game play (for those days anyways). I'm still looking for a realistic space game that even comes close to encompassing half of the features that GE had, I.E.:

    - Correct usage of Azemuth(sp?) navigational methodologies (This is the mathematical model used for navigation by places like ummm NASA).
    - Correct physics, gravitational forces from 'masses', course drift, ennertia, etc.

    Do any other GE'rs have any suggestions for those of use addicted to GE and looking for a suitable replacement?

    Well enough rambling...
