Trade Wars on Amiga?
« on: January 31, 2010, 05:30:09 PM »
One of the few games that ever engaged me much was Trade Wars, a game played on BBSs some 20 years ago.  Ppl would login, usually one at a time, and play their daily turn for domination of the galaxy.  Trade Wars was ansii text/graphic based.  The modern day on-line game Eve is, I think, a descendant of Trade Wars.

Was there ever a Trade Wars (or Eve) flavored game on Amiga?

I don't need it to have on-line capability.  It would simply be fun to engage our family on one computer.

Since this was originally a PC program, I am surprised to find it was ported to Amiga to run under the CNET BBS package.  Very cool.

What I'm looking for is a stand alone game (no BBS required), perhaps with better graphics.  My ignorance is my own fault for never gravitating much to gaming.  There must be a turn-based (for many players) space empire type game.

Thanks for the replies.

Total Chaos fits the bill (many players and so on) but the story is not in space?
