King of Sumeria © 1969 Digital Equipment Corp.
A text-based strategy game of land and resource management. The game consists of ten rounds wherein the player, as the ancient Babylonian king Hammurabi, manages how much of their grain to spend on crops for the next round, feeding their people, and purchasing additional land, while dealing with random variations in crop yields and plagues.

Programmed by: Doug Dyment
