Description

DECWAR is an expanded and rewritten version of War for the DEC PDP-10. The game allows 10+ players playing with drop-in and drop-out functionality thanks to shared memory. The core gameplay is based on the game Star Trek, with players roaming around the galaxy picking fights between the Federation and Klingon Empire. In less populated games a computer controlled Romulan faction would also be in play. The game ends once a faction has destroyed all other faction's ships and conquered all planets.
