At the time I wrote Imperial Conquest I had a monochrome, text-only IBM PC. I enjoyed playing Empire on the Amiga, but the Empire game available for my elderly IBM PC wasn't very user-friendly. So I wrote my own version, with a better interface but for some reason a smaller map. Between two and four people can play. I never mastered the art of getting computer players to load and unload units onto carriers and transports, so this is strictly multi-player only. It doesn't feature orders, or patrol, so you have to move each unit turn-by-turn. If you can stand this it could still be fun to play against a friend, but for modern machines there are much better versions of the game out there.
