Conquest

[bfree]

I have an old shareware version of a DOS game called CONQUEST version 1.7 by David Burns. Despite all my searching for this David Burns I have not been able to find him or any full versions of his game. If anyone can help me I would be very appreciative. If there is a better place to post such a request I would also like to know that too.

Cheers,
Bfree

No, you're in the right place here. :D
But I never heard of that game... What is it about?

[bfree]

It is just a simple little DOS game that I like to play occasionally. It’s a strategy game that has continents that are evenly divided in to smaller areas sort of like states. 2 to 8 players try to out luck and over power their opposition by massing armies represented by a number and attacking the next adjoining area. The goal is to wipe out all opposition.

Could it be any of the games on this list?

[bfree]

No, but thanks for the tip. I can't believe there are so many games about conquest out there. The one I am looking for is by David Burns who was in the Military stationed in Bedford MA, until at least 1982. After that I have no idea of where he went. His game was distributed as shareware which is how I came across it.

Cheers,

I'll look around some when I get the time ;)

I found it
conquest v1.8 by David Burns
sadly I had to give a username and password when I clicked on it to download
I'll continue searching

[Stroggy]

hmmm
I don't think this is it, but it sounds like the same thing
Conquest Shareware (http://www.pcgameworld.com/details.php/id/2699/)
perhaps this? conquest for windows (http://www.pcgameworld.com/details.php/id/2661/)

Hey Stroggy, What do you mean you found it? Where? The Windows version you mentioned does not interest me. I hope you were not having fun with me. :sneaky:

[aaberg]

You can find it here

http://www.legypt.net/general/index/Night_...%20-%20svga.htm (http://www.legypt.net/general/index/Night_Owl_Volume_8/games%20-%20ega%20-%20vga%20-%20svga.htm)

However, as stroggy says, you need somekind of username and password. Try to check out the price. Maybe it's worth it.

You could also download some kind of RISK game, I think conquest and RISK are very familiar. However, I have never heard of Conquest before, so I don't know for sure. :)

[bfree]

Yes, that’s it. But how do I get a copy of it. There is no way I am going to put my credit card info into that unsecured form and let just anyone use it.
Anyone have an idea? Or maybe another site where I can find it?

Buy the way, I found another site with a version 2.5 but it was not the same game.

Thanks for all your help.

this are versions of Risk if you're interested in those:

What are the differences between conquest & risk?

Here you go: http://bhs.broo.k12.wv.us/pub/MegaGames2/GAMES/BOARD/

It's called CONQ18.ZIP.

If you know/like the game, why not get a review and some screenshots done and then we can place it on the site. It was a hard game to find!

[FreeFreddy]

Wow, we seem to have an competitor for the title Master of Searching here... :P
Tom, beware! ;)

Hey... Help is appreciated ;)

[mika]

And I'm always glad to. B)

I found it! David started a company and eventually put out a windows version. I just emailed him asking how to register and unlock the other maps. I found it in a very extensive shareware list at http://www.pcgameworld.com/downloads.php/dltype/4/

Thanks everyone for all your help. I knew that eventually somehow I would find it.
The game review idea is a good idea. I will try to put one together. The game does not look like much but it is addictive and easy to play. I do not like the windows version because it is more work with the mouse. The DOS version flows well. If you try it, give it a bit before you decide if you like it or not.

Cheers for now.
Bfree :D

I seem to have owned that game a long time ago. It's almost just like Risk.

I had another that was also similar that I think represented your armies with a bullet.

You should try out another one like Risk or something as most are similar.

[bfree]

If you still have it, do you want to part with it?

Yes you still can have the shareware version (version 1.7) on Megaupload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RJF0Z2J3

By the way for those who wants a video preview of the game! ;)

My friends and I would play this all the time on my 486. What a great strategy game.
So I was going through some old stuff and came across it after many years. I have three 5 1/4 Conquest disks that were mailed to me when I purchased copies from David Burns. These are the full versions:
Version 1 (printed label)
Conquest Map Editor V 1.6 (hand-written label)
Conquest V 2.0 (hand-written label)

Password is printed on the label.
I don't see myself playing it again but if you are interested, please reply to this thread.

I'll accept the best offer :-)

Please contact me at Natneechess (at) Gmail.com; I would like to talk about getting these from you.

Does this game still count as approved, even though it was originally shareware?

The link to the developer's website leads to a cannot-find-server error.

[Paco]

If the game is not sold and not protected either, then its approved. But we will only take the Full version not the shareware-version.

[The Fifth Horseman]

The shareware version is OK for extras if it has something (levels, whatever) the full one doesn't.

[arete]

Gotcha, thanks guys :)

Hi,

I bought the old magnodyne domain and opened a new site regarding this shareware : v1.x, 2x and Windows downloads.

I also opened a forum to discuss.

Sorry Natneechess, I didn't see your reply until just now. I don't remember if I hung on these disks or not. Since it was like 20 years old, I probably pitched it when I was cleaning house. I'm not sure where I would have put it if I held onto it. If I come across it again, I'll let you know.
