[Richard's Preface:] This game was originally a C128 type-in program from the October 1987 issue of Ahoy magazine. It has now been converted to the 64 and slightly enhanced with new font and music plus a special winning screen. The option to select how much money that you begin with has been added as well. Choose from the default $500 all the way up to $10,000. Here's the original instructions for the game as they appeared in the magazine.
The setting for the game is a map of the world of Empire, a fantasy never-never land. This map contains the kingdoms of eight different warring factions. You will be in the middle of this war and attempt to profit from it, because you are a traveling merchant.
The goal of the game is acquire 100% of the Empire within one year. Each kingdom owns a separate portion of the Empire, and you will attempt to buy out their land shares with profits you'll make wheeling and dealing in the various population centers.
