Here it is, in all of its Turbo Pascal glory.\n\n## A bit of history\n\nThe best I can remember it anyways. \n\nI wrote much of this game for my Grade 11 computer science class. Though I don't actually remember learning\na lot of actual comp. sci. \n\nAt the time a couple of us ran a small BBS system from some old hardware we scrapped \ntogether around the highschool. I remember begging our principal for a 14.4kbps model so we can serve our users\nbetter. The 9600bps we had was quite slow even by 1996 standards. She managed to help us out with hundred\ndollars out of our tiny school budget for a 28.8kbps model. \n\nIt's taken me almost two decades to appreciate that. Damn. \n\nAnyways, we ran this little BBS called the Infinity BBS. It was one of three BBS systems\nthat we had in Prince Rupert. The other were ran by two friends of mine. One, \nthe Junkyard BBS would be my first experience with email. Of course, not knowing\nanybody outside of Prince Rupert, I didn't have anybody to email. \n\nTo be as popular as the Junkyard BBS was our highschool dreams. I mean, Keith had TWO \nphone lines, multiple CD ROMS of content and email (well sort of). Our little BBS\nran out of a back room of the school's computer lab. \n\nActually, it started out in the lab itself. As word got out about our little BBS\nthe random modem [ping, boop, wrrrs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvr9AMWEU-c) throughout the day \nwould interrupt the class. That gave us the purest form of geek joy that I can remember. \n\nAbout that time is when I started writing Dominion. It was to be like Legend of the\nRed Dragon, Usurper and Trade Wars 2000 which were so popular at the time. I never\nquite finished it however, spending way too much time on getting the cursor to \nblink green and print like a slow retro-futuristic terminal. \n\nRegardless, here it is. Finding code from your childhood is as nostalgic as \nfinding old vacation photos. Enjoy. \n\n## The `.ANS` files\n\nThese require the awesome [TheDraw](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheDraw) program to open and \nedit these files.
