"A port of the classic 1968 resource management sim. This port is adapted from the 1973 BASIC version port.

"You must manage the resources of a region of Ancient Sumeria for 10 consecutive years.

"You must make 3 decisions per round:

How much land to buy or sell.
How much grain (or bushels) to feed your people.
How many acres of land to plant seed in."

Ever wonder where the resource-management sim came from?

While I know Star Trek from watching it, Hamurabi is a game that ate up a fair amount of my time in childhood (a version that uses the same ending text that this one uses, so it's probably the Creative Computing version). As a teenager it morphed into games like Space Dynasty as a BBS door.

As primitive as it seems now, even all gussied up with color and ASCII codes, this is a vitally important piece of computer game history updated for modern machines.
