Good old days

I spent so many hours playing Emperor, Zeus, and Pharao in the 2000s. It's great to get back to emperor after all these years. The graphics are quite dated, but the he is still great to play. The game isn't optimized for modern high res screens, you'll need to install the "widescreen fix", otherwise it will look like the games is zoomed in all the time.

Still one of the best!

Made in 2002, for me, it's still one of the best city building games. Love it x
