Elwynor Galactic Empire

Elwynor Galactic Empire is Elwynor Technologies' faithful 32-bit port of Michael B. Murdock's Galactic Empire 3.2e. It preserves the classic game's commands, gameplay, and overall character while making the module available on later BBS platforms. It is a port of the 1994 game, not a new version in the original M.B. Murdock & Associates release series.

Port history

After making an arrangement with Murdock to take over the MBM products, Elwynor Technologies completed its Galactic Empire port in 2006. According to the project's history, it first released the port publicly in 2021 for Worldgroup 3.2. Support for The Major BBS V10 followed in a 2025 release. The port's later publication dates should not be confused with the date of the original 3.2e release, August 6, 1994.

Platforms and scope

The project provides a 32-bit module for Worldgroup 3.2 and The Major BBS V10. Its purpose is to carry the established 3.2e game forward to those platforms, rather than replace its mechanics with a redesigned game. Sysop configuration can still affect an installation's ships, messages, and game settings, so individual boards need not play identically.
