Ran across your home page and saw you were looking for a copy of the Interstel version of Empire. Still have 5 1/4 and 3 1/4 disks as well as manual but no other packaging if you are still looking. Just got a new PC running Windows 7 and haven't figured out how to get it (Empire) to run on 64 bit system. Any suggestions for that would be appreciated. By the way, the "e-mail Walter Bright" link on your page doesn't seem to work so had to post here. Cheers |

Posted in reply to Bill | Hi Bill I ran across your post. I had a version by Interstel as well. But the manuel got so beaten up over years of playing and then the computer went belly up and it all got thrown out. I which this classic version was available for modern PC's or some other gaming system as I loved this original version best. I've played the several modern versions of civilization but I like the basic game play the best. Let me know if you get your older version to work! Cheers |

Posted in reply to Nick Sabalausky | The only way I could get the Interstel version (2.05c) to run on Windows 7 64-bit was to run it in a VMWare virtual machine running windows 2000. Works ok on that, though. |

Posted in reply to Ray Cernis | The version of Empire.exe that I have been using is called 5.01 which I believe is derived from Walter Bright's version. I have been using it since late 1980's but starting with Windows 7 (64bit) I have always had to run it in "XP mode" and it has always worked perfectly. If it is legal, I would be happy to email it to anyone who needs it.
It sounds like the exact same program.
