spectacular but difficult!

Pharaoh is one of those game that I wish I was good at playing it! It's one of those impression games that challenge you to build cities in ancient Egypt that still holds up today, both in gameplay and graphics. Gameplay wise, it's a city builder full of details that follows a single family in its many missions through out the entire span of the Egyptian empire. And it requires meticulous and master planning. As such, mistakes are really not an option and everything must be prepare ahead in order to balance everything while tending at random problems that seems to combust (play and you'll know why) at random. Besides that, the most powerful aspect is surely the graphics: beautiful and colorful as never seen ( even when it's just sheds), while soundtrack and story are pretty good. So, worth buying? yes! .... but prepare to fail many times before being successful. It's really hard. But in the end the things worth keeping are.

What an excellent game!

I must say, there's something about this game that is unbelievably fun. It may be old, it may have extremely dated graphics, but the devs really knew what they were doing with the game structure. I can't explain it, but it's just... perfect. I've played a decent number of sims in my life, and I just keep coming back to this one. I had owned it a few times in the past before it before it popped up on GOG, and on just the GOG installation I've logged well over 100 hours of gameplay. If you follow the timeline, the game does a fantastic job of easing you into the management tasks, starting with almost primitive villages in the pre-Dynastic period and continuing on with the evolution of cities and civilization through history, adding things like more advanced entertainment, education and municipal services in a way that's easy to get the hang of. Otherwise, if you prefer you can sort of "free play" and pick specific missions at specific time periods. Apparently you can even edit missions, but honestly I never tried. The music is great. The history lessons are great, and don't feel like a stuffy, boring history class. It's just info you pick up as you play. If you get it, take a minute to read the manual (PDF in the install folder) to get some really great guidance, keyboard controls, etc. Simulation at its finest.

Awesome!

I have been waiting for so long to get this game! My CD based discs regularly crashed on Windows 7 when the Cleo expansion was added, but now I can play all of the extra missions without a single problem! Thanks GoG!
