Conquest is a real-time, multi-player space warfare game that was originally written in RATFOR for the VAX/VMS platform by Jef Poskanzer and Craig Leres. It was the early predecessor to Netrek. This page concerns itself with the Unix/C rewrite I completed in 1997. With conquest version 8.1 or better, an OpenGL based client is provided as well, which looks a heck of alot better.

Conquest runs on the following Unix operating systems:
• Unixware (SVR4.2MP), all versions (including 7.x)
• Intel/Sparc Solaris 2.6 or better with gcc 2.7.2 or better
• Linux (2.0.0 or greater kernel)
• FreeBSD 2.2 961006-SNAP (or better)
• Alpha/Digital Unix V4.0 (OSF1) using native compiler. My thanks to Jim Anderson (janderson@NOVALIS.COM) for providing this port
• MS Windows (XP, at least) using the Cygwin environment.

Hopefully any posix'ish unix can run conquest. If you port it to something, send me the patches so I can include it in the next release. Note, I have not built the OpenGL version (8.1) on anything other than Linux and Cygwin systems.

If you want to build the OpenGL client conquestgl, you must have working OpenGL 1.1 or better and GLUT libraries and headers present. To run conquestgl, your X server must support OpenGL rendering (with an alpha buffer), preferably in hardware - though software rendering is adequate if your CPU is fast enough.

Craft is a strategy/war game similar to Warcraft and Dune II. Each player starts off with two workers and a knight, and tries to build a kingdom with which he can kill off all the other players. The workers can build buildings such as mills (which make archers), docks (for ships), and markets (to trade gold and lumber). The game takes a little while to figure out, but it's worth it.
