Risk: the World Conquest Game

Risk: The World Conquest Game is a 1989 DOS version of the famous strategy board game, offering players the familiar objective of controlling territories and eventually conquering the world. Armies are deployed across a global map, battles are resolved through combat rolls, and players must balance expansion with defense. The rules are easy enough to understand, but successful play requires considerably more thought. Expanding too quickly can leave borders vulnerable, while playing too cautiously gives opponents time to grow stronger. The computer provides a convenient way to enjoy the classic experience without needing a large table covered in pieces. Risk remains timeless because its central idea is wonderfully simple: start with a few territories, make some strategic decisions, and eventually discover that your friends have become surprisingly hostile.

Risk: the World Conquest Game review

"Apart from this useful addition, the game is a faithful reproduction of the original, so what's the point? Obviously writing the number of your soldier is more convenient than trying to balance 75 little bits of green plastic on a map of Iceland. Conversely its a lot easier (and more fun) to say "Ha-ha I'm attacking China from Siam, prepare to eat mud, pig dog" than fiddle about with the cursor trying to select compared to watching a wooden cube rolling across the table, onto the floor and getting stuck in the soggy dog biscuit under the side board, Although the computer game offers little that you can't already find on the board game, this is undoubtedly an excellent conversion, capturing the spirit and the strategy of the original." - Zero Magazine Issue 05 (1990)
