Caesar 3

You know I loved this game when it came out, but never finished it, so I'm going back to finish the job. Didn't like Caesar IV actually, it had better graphics, but the army control stank.

The gog list said this was multi player. Great if this is the case but I doubt it - I really enjoyed this game - I went via the military option; as I found the peaceful one a touch boring

Wow, what a fun game. I spent hours with Caesar and his proconsul when the game was new and loved it then. I was a little unsure about the gaming experience I could expect when I found it again here at GOG. But it was like meeting up with a long lost pal. Actually brought tears to my eyes when the load screen flashed on and I heard that distinctive voice. If you loved a game in the past, then definitely give it a try here. Yes, the graphics are a lot more raw, kinda like the lines on a friend's face. But the playability, the wonder-- its all still there.

There isn't much about this game that hasn't been said before; but even stuck at 800x600 resolution on my MacBook Air running in CrossOver Games, this game still succeeds at utterly grabbing my attention, just like it did back on my old 120 MHz clunker back in the day. As others have done, I pretty much ignored the missions and the psuedo-military combat in favor of just pure sandbox building game play; even that on its own provides an enjoyable, but not insurmountable challenge. Just remember to build lots of Prefectures, Engineering Posts, and Doctor's Clinics….

When GOG first started, this is the very first game I thought to look for. I'm glad to see they have now ... otherwise, I'd have to buy it on ebay yet again. Very addictive, engaging game; you can play it with different goals in mind (focus on military strength, prosperity, culture, etc.) ... I really wished they'd followed up with a multiplayer version. Will be getting this very soon.
