This is a classic that has been very well remade. I liked the GBA version (and remember the Amiga version although I haven't played that one in a while) and just love this one! It's perfect for a little quick action if you work on something on your laptop and need a break. The narrator's voice is also chosen very well and shows perfectly that a good storyline, voice and sound are completly sufficient to create an atmospheric setting. Also, the game shows that the guys behind it not only love their work, but also care about this games legacy. I would love to see more from Cinemare soon!
Lords of the Realm is a true classic strategy game that kept me hooked for ours. Thankfully, it offered the possibility to play with some friends via "hot seat" ... something gamers today do no longer know. And it still is a good and challenging game, depending on the difficulty setting you choose. The pixel graphics are still nice to look at and the sound effects might be a bit scarce (although I have an polished CD version even with music and voice - too bad they didn't use that one here), but the point of the game, become king of England and defeat the other players, is still a lot of fun and one of my favorite games of all times. I love this one, and even if the second part was not included here (which I never played), it's still worth the ridiculously low price. Every penny of it.
