I got this game from a warehouse sale years ago, with Cleopatra already on it. I still play it, even thought the disk is scratched. The game is simple yet complex. You have to create industries, build up your army, praise gods, entertain your citizens, collect taxes, get food for your citizens, trade with other cities, fight enemies, give to other's material requests, keep buildings running without them going in a blaze or collapse, keep the city peaceful, build monuments, and make money without the city going broke, get attacked by other cities or the pharaoh's army, lose citizens,anger gods, or get burnt down or collapsed. Thought it sounds complicated, you need to find the patterns to keep the city prosperous. The game shows how one thing effects another in a pretty realistic way. I believe this is the best game from the city building series that Activision and Impressions Games. You will enjoy it for hours on end.
