Patrician is a typical trade game, but the graphics and music are quite good. One flaw is that in the campaign mode, the game continues even if you don't complete the mission by the designated deadline. Unfortunately, the campaigns aren't progressive, like the ones in Caesar.
I should have noted that the game was made in 1992 before I bought it. The storyline is fine and the game-playing is mediocre, but this is basically a very primitive point and click adventure game- one that you used to play on DOS before the Windows operating system. Unless you are wrapped up in nostalgia or doing some kind of research on old games, I wouldn't recommend it.
