Each player plays the leader of an interstellar civilization in an area of
space, the idea is to colonize uninhabited planets, research advanced weapons,
built fleets of warships and eventually battle for supremacy against the other
players. I'd post the rules but the file is extremely large! If anyone wants a
copy of the rules without necessarily joining the game I'll mail it to them.

To answer a question someone mailed me, the source code is about 2,500 lines
and I'm currently running the game on an MS-DOS machine but it should work on
pretty well anything, it needs very little computing power and only a few
hundred K of memory.
