Hey, there. This is my first news article published, so hang in there if it
gets a little rough around the edges.

Galactic Conquest is a new game by a company just out on the market. The
company is called Agents of Gaming. They have an account on Genie, but I don't
know the specifics.

If you want any real details, ask me. If not, I'll just shut up about it
and be on my way.

Galactic Conquest is a two dimensional space conquest game based on a
wraparound map broken into 100 sectors. Each sector is 16*16 hexes. You start
with control of one planet, and a starting fleet of 500 epv(this games monetary
units).
    The variety of the ships is incredible, as well as random events to keep
even the experienced player happy.
    The game only costs $4 a turn, on a two-week turn around, and has no hidden
fees or charges.
    The game usually starts with about 75 players, but that changes quickly,
starting about turn 5.
    I personally, cannot get enough of the game.

Well, write to me if you want more info.
