I remember playing this game years ago and becoming addicted to the economic campaigns and missions. I bought Stronghold HD on special during the DRM-free sale for the princely sum of $1.79 and I must say, the magic is still there. It's like I never left my old computer. Well, except for the fact that the graphics have definitely been fine-tuned for newer computer systems, and the load times are instantaneous. Phrases such as, "Your popularity is rising" and "People are coming to the castle, my Lord" still give me the greatest buzz. I love that this game is DRM-free, so that I can pop it on my laptop for when I'm travelling.
