Gonna hit the big Five-Oh this year. I started playing back when a 56k modem and AOL was da shizzy. I had a Gateway something DX desktop and a bunch of 5 1/4" disks laying around! I think the best graphical game at that time was Leisure Suit Larry.

I am not sure if hookers and blow are tax deductible. Well, I think if you can show evidence that it was a work-related, you might have a chance. In my opinion, avoid the revenuers...

Well Iggy, don't feel too bad:

8.8 hours ago
You sold 1 Oil Barrels for $205.
790,175 Oil Barrels remain for sale.

Where's Croakers tax code update thread? I'm certain there is a loophole for this tax issue...

Have not spoke to Teneo in years. Last I remember, he dropped a ton of weight, gotten healthy, got his "6-pack" and was a workout coach for Tony Horton's P90 program, along with his full-time job.

Spoke to Sunny a few years ago. Still sweet as ever, living life and in the wind-down portion of her career.

Miss them both!

Big Dog: Talk to him a bit here and there, we play catch up on work, family, etc. He is still an ugly puss that cant run a country even if Iggy did it for him (btw, how did I pass you in A1 and I'm still in protection?)

Yes, you are correct.. I think 1997 is what you are referring to. This was before that and I apologize, but I do not remember what it was called (might have been the BRE as Squirrel mentions, but without my old computer, I have no way of verifying). However, you are correct, the game, as we know it, was on the Utopia or Swirve platform. (I think it was Utopia back in 97)

Hey Cheeseman... I started in 1994 my friend. So yea, not quite 25 years, but darn close :) Either way you look at it, its been a long time...

Man, just thinking.. that was back on a 56k external modem on a Gateway 486DX with a generous 8mb of memory. Hell, I was even on AOL back then.. Is that company still around?

GTFO! Iggy writing strats??? Thanks like Gramberto wearing a red nose...

I was in LaF at one time, many moons ago.

To be honest, not sure I have the time to dedicate to playing on the alliance side like I once did. Hit me back up again come fall / winter.. maybe I will. I'm trying the express game right now, just to see if my knowledge still applies. Hanging on to top 20, but for how long idk. way too skinny.. lol

I agree with eberto's comments and specifically about people quitting the game. From someone who played this game 25 years ago, there is only a fraction of the people playing today versus back then that I can see. Sure, gaming has evolved and garnered a larger audience with the more popular games. But just like old Space Invaders; nostalgia and "old school" gaming always has a place in the hearts of some. Anyway, for those of you that have been double, triple or even quadruple tapped... lesson learned my friends. Dont get too fat and if you do, make sure you have the military to defend or, do whatmany do.. make a note of those countries you need to pay a visit to. Maybe not immediately, but soon enough, go knock on their door and get yo thangs :) Less than 32 hours left.. Good luck to all!

So yesterday, 8/11/2018 (one year to the day Farmer posted above), I was working in the garage, sat down for a beer and a smoke, staring at my laptop. Out of nowhere, Earth 2025 came to my mind so I decided to search and see what ever happened to the game (it had been every bit of 15+ years that I actually played) Low and behold, I find that someone has the game running under Earth Empires. So of course, I have to go to the forums; see if I recognize any old friends, if CWG is still around, etc. That lead me to this memorial page and Fraz...

Coincidental that 1 year after my last interaction with anyone from this game (besides Diamondog, who is my best friend) that I find myself back here and specifically, with Fraz on my mind? and as I write this, there is a cardinal sitting on my fence chirping away... What are you trying to tell me, Fraz? if that cardinal craps on my truck, I will know it was you...

Thinking of you too, my friend.
