The original Empire - http://www.classicempire.com

I had often thought of making the computer strategy pluggable, so that players could build their own bots and have them compete. It would be fun, and an enormous time waster :-)

I grew up playing this as a kid, and I still have a copy installed. It is a simple, unassuming game, with the curious property of erasing large blocks of time from memory

I also keep thinking I should port it to javascript, so it can be run in a browser. Just think on those interminable waits at the airport you could be playing Empire!

Didn't minecraft's Notch say he was going to make a space game similar to something like this?

I think that was 0x10c, I think he abandoned it:
