Got 'im. Copy over the msvcr100.dll from Nazgul c:\windows\SySWOW64\ to Puti and ATG just starts. It is a Jun 2011 file. Those who do not read history are forced to repeat it!
Arghhh! My new Mega Beast does not run ATG
Spetz is king of the Mega Beasts. Personally I blame Charlie. Mi'Lord blames his children. Both are correct: After installing ATG for the very first time, and you run it, you get a horrid error: When the tears dry from your eyes, you recall that Vic, one of the designer of ATG, gave you a fi...

I wanna cry. I have been teaching you ATG since the FMW in New Zealand. You still have headquarters with insufficient staff!
Fix Worked And The Beast Roared
Brilliant, option A did the trick.

LOL! I have just been reading the history of the game. The first guy who commercialised it sold two copies!!!
Look what I found
a blast from the past (I also found the access codes too). I don't know where disk 1 is though. I don't have a working computer that accepts these disks anymore ...
It even has a paragraph on the Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_(1977_video_game)#Empire_Deluxe

Getting in the car today i noticed a bee working the bottlebrush. I set the phone to close up and took 20 shots. I could not get the focus right and often blurred the flower. MiLord is the master.
With the telescope, half moon is the best because you get strong shadows making the topography more clear - plus less light so you do not need to use such a strong filter.
Just because it was there
the moon. Starting to wane so not so bright which makes for better shots with contrast and detail rather than 'white out'. (a cropped shot of course).
Yes - the Lebanese Cedar and red stripes faded into the Australia flag. A bit of fun!
Clever, but will irritate my mates no end
I noticed an odd flag flying on the walk home from the office earlier this week. It took me several seconds to deconstruct it. I think it is a clever bit of fun, and, for me, symbolises pride in the past and the future. I think my mates will bitterly disagree and call for a homeland security v...
