Zeus + Poseidon (Acropolis)

i've been trying to get my disc of this to work for years now, looked around steam earlier for this and it led me here. This was my favorite game from my childhood and i am looking forward to playing many more hours on it

Ignore only the first three Caesar games in the classic city building series and play the rest instead.

I still have my original Zeus & Poseidon CD's. However, upon days, weeks, hours, months... (you get the idea) of trying to get them play... nothing worked! Finally, someone told me about GOG, so I took a chance. I needed my Zeus/Poseidon Addiction I had so long ago. It works on Windows 7 64x and I am the happiest person on earth right now! If we didn't have company and it wasn't past midnight, I'd scream, shout, and do a happy dance and play the game all night! Alas, it shall have to wait until tomorrow, but it's the best $10 I've ever spent! This is the ONLY game of this genre/type I've ever enjoyed (probably because I love Greek Mythology) and I'm so happy to have it back! This game is the BEST! If anyone else is looking for a great strategy game with mythical proportions that runs on Windows 7 64x, buy this! You won't regret it, and if you do, don't tell me about it!

I don't think this title is quite as good as Empire, the Chinese history flavored version that came out after, but it is very good. I give it the maximum rating because the expansion of Poseidon really ups the play value of the title. I'm also a sucker for the Hellenic mythology aspect of the game. First game in the series to have roadblocks, which utterly changed the game;play in so many ways, all for the better. Definitely worth playing if you like games of the city-building style.

By far the best citybuilder, and best overall game, I've ever played. Bought it several times since 2000, and it was difficult to get hold of a fresh copy with full features until GOG.com brought it back to life. The highly detailed graphics of each building and person is amazing, with four directions to oggle at them from. Each individual type of building and worker, trader, god, hero, has something different to say depending on your city's quality and their role in it. All voiced fantastically. The AI and continuity of your workers allows you to micromanage where you want, then leave the city to keep ticking over without any problems. The UI is in theme and easy to use. The only faults in this game are the lack-lustre battles and how its replay value is slightly diminished after several thousand play throughs... If anyone can up the difficulty of Olympian for me I'd be grateful ;) But it's still rewarding to see how many rich estates and cavalry squandrans a tiny city can support.
