About this game

MegaWars was an online multiplayer space empire building game hosted on CompuServe starting in 1983. The original MegaWars was a port of Decwar with all references to Star Trek removed.

DECWAR is a multiplayer computer game first written in 1978 at the University of Texas at Austin for the PDP-10. It was developed from a lesser-known two-player version, WAR, adding multi-terminal support for between one and ten players. WAR and DECWAR are essentially multiplayer versions of the classic Star Trek game, but with added strategic elements.
