DOS Games Discussion

a friend of mine used to have an old dos game on his computer called empire, until his computer got fried. i wanted to know if anyone here could find it for him/me? it was, as he explained it, 'a strategy where you would follow an adventure in a dungeon/castle'.

I think this is what you are looking for:

There were actually two games from Mindscape:
1991 : Legend (a.k.a. Four Crystals of Trazere)
1992 : Worlds of Legend (a.k.a. Sons of Empire)
Genre: party RPG. Loved them both.
