Settlers® 3: Ultimate Collection

A really great game, but buy elsewhere!

The game itself is as pleasing as it was about 15 years ago. You need to get used to the very low resolution, though or search for highres mods. GOG sells the game as running on basically all Windows versions which is a blunt lie. Be prepared for a bit of googling and a visit to the forums to make it run on modern Windows versions (>7). Even on Windows 7 you might have to twist a knob or two to get around the serial prompt at the start. More importantly, only local multiplayer is possible, since the serial keys on GOG are exhausted. When you ask the support if they can tell when keys will be available again: they can't. You either can get a refund (at least!) or swallow it. So, bottom line: the game is nice and cheap but you pay a premium with your time to get it running. And you can not play multiplayer online without the missing serials. I advise you to try getting vintage games from sellers that actually care about people being able to run them properly. Three stars off - not for the game, but for the dishonest sales methods GOG is using.
