Still One of the Best 20 Years On!

I was going to buy this old times sake but thought I'd try my old (old) Disc copy first (Pharaoh only) with no real hope it would run on Windows 10. Installed and played with no problems, gotta love this game, how many 20yr old pc games do that? So sorry GOG I don't need to buy this, but if you've never played this I highly recommend it. The interface and graphics hold up, the game never feels sluggish or too dated and more importantly the balance is just right. Each challenge is progressively harder, and requires careful management, and you never feel you hit a wall difficulty wise. I've completed this several times over the years on the hardest difficulty so its completely doable. I don't know what to directly compare it to but I much prefer it to the Civ Series, SIm City series and Banished. A real trooper and very playable.

Reliving my Childhood

I loved these games when I was a teenager so I was stoked to see them available on here. They work fine on Windows 10 through the GOG Galaxy launcher. It's nice to be able to play games with some intelligence and difficulty to them, modern games aren't made like this anymore. I find that modern city sims or top-down strategy games are lacking depth and nuance, so the replayability isn't there. Not the case with something like. I miss the days of Sierra/Impressions making solid, smartly designed games that offer hours of fun.

It's the trader's life for me

One of my all-time favorite games. There's really nothing quite like the Impressions citybuilding games out there anymore. The game can get quite involved with urban planning and micromanagement of your districts. The campaign has a ton of levels-- easily enough for 100+ hours of gameplay-- and many of the missions are optional, meaning you can play the whole campaign several times and do different missions each time. The soundtrack is wonderful and after hours and hours of playing the game, I still pull it up online for a listen occasionally. The graphics are still charming and the goofy voices of your citizens will make you smile every time you hear them. 10/10. Amazing game. I want to be reincarnated as an ancient Egyptian urban planner.

20 years old & still my favorite game!

I've loved this game forever. The music is wonderful, the strategy aspects are great, building monuments is challenging but fun, the gods are a great addition to daily life (throw festivals to Bast whenever you can, because once she favors you, she'll throw a festival for all the other gods to show them that you're awesome and it saves you $ in the end!)... basically this is just a really well-made game and it's really stood up well to the test of time. Highly, HIGHLY recommend!

Stuck with a sense of wonder

Probably my favorite city building game of all time even now after fifteen years. I played this when it came out. I was eleven at the time. I played a lot of games at that age but the one game that truly stuck with me was this game. Pharaoh filled me with a sense of wonder for the ancient world. It probably made me somewhat of a dork too when I kept reiterating the missions and mission briefings as facts to other people back then. Classmates dreamed of being Astronauts or Firemen, I dreamed of being a Historian or an Archeologist...until the real world slapped me with the reality of bills. But that's how strongly this game affected me that even now, fifteen years later, I still spend a few hours of my free time reading up on world history, ancient mythologies or the latest discoveries on ancient civilizations as a hobby. Having owned and played the other games of the series: Caesar, Zeus and Emperor. I still consider Pharaoh to be the best. Now that I think about it, the game's still installed on my Pentium III computer I put in storage years ago...
