Trade Wars: Dark Millenium for Mac

updated 02:05 pm EST, Wed February 21, 2001


Realm Interactive has announced a new massively multiplayer real-time strategy game set in a vast universe composed of thousands of players, Trade Wars: Dark Millenium. The game is based on the original Trade Wars, a turn-based strategy game popular on many early bulletin board systems (BBS). The game is expected to be released on the PC in the second half of 2001 with Mac, Linux and console versions following shortly thereafter...

Key features in the game include the ability to:


  • Command distinct cultures, each with their own technology and special abilities, towards a goal of domination and riches;
  • Travel through an enormous virtual 3D world comprised of both planetary and space environments;
  • Build empires with other players and work towards common goals; and
  • Establish trade routes, mine resources, pirate, hunt creatures, and wage war against opposing empires.

    I loved this game. Take your little ship out, trade resources from here to there. Make enough money or gamble it to buy a larger ship that can blow pirates or other aliens away. I'm wondering if it will be turn based or real action.

    Also wondering if anyone is going to bring other BBS games back like Mutants or Global Domination.
