Sorry but gotta jump in to set this straight. Amit programmed Solar Realms Elite. His brother Mehul did Barren Realms Elite. SRE came first, then later BRE was the more popular one thanks to the inter-BBS play.

Yep. I wrote SRE, and then wrote a game engine (modem communication, bbs interface, logins, menus, inter-bbs communication, ansi color, etc.) so that Mehul could write AC6 and BRE. He continued writing games (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swirve.com). I had gotten bored of BBS games and decided to try a hex-board strategy/sim game. That didn't go anywhere but I learned a lot. Fun times.
