Zeus + Poseidon (Acropolis)

One of the nice things about GOG is that they keep bringing back games i really remember when i was younger. I played the hell out of these games. Pharaoh was one of my all time fave games until i got Zeus and found the humor that was needed to kinda make the game better. Great art work, the ability to click on people to see what they want. All the detail you could want and god that really do affect how you play. The fact that everything seems so smooth and perfect show why this is the best city builder you can play.

This is one of the my favorite city builder games (a genre I really love). It has robust systems that intertwine in interesting ways, and the use of roadblocks really lets you manage the flow of traffic (unlike the much-needed luck in Caesar and Pharaoh). Building temples is fun and rewarding, as is actually maintaining a full army. If you enjoy city builders, this is a must-have!

One of the best sandbox/strategy builder games ever, especially if you are interested in the Greek gods too it makes it even more interesting

Zeus and Poseidon represent a big step in further development of the games like Caesar and Cleopatra. Very interesting point in the game are quests like conquer this and this foreign city or lets say a quest to deliver 30 wine amphores to Thebes or some other city to make them like you more which enables you for example to trade with them and such. You also build sanctuaries for heroes, additional to normal city development, who help you to defeat mythical creatures like the Mynotaurus or Medusa. The best part is when you see the gods for which you built tempels walking around the city. I can still here in my head Ares when he appears and says: I have come from Mount Olympus :) Anyway recommend this game to anybody; be it casual players or more military players.

It's very rare I go back to games this old, they never give me the same satisfaction they once did. Zeus is the exception. I love strategy games and love city building games of any kind. Zeus is still the best city builder you can buy. Sure it doesn't have the grand strategy games like civ5 or Rome 2 has or the depth of Anno series but as a straight city builder you cannot find better. Easy to learn yet hard to master, with a Greek mythology theme for added fun. Although its not 3D the graphics still look great, especially with the mod that allows full screen resolutions for today's monitors, I'm currently playing in 1920x1080. Looks beautiful. Great sound with voice acting throughout. Recommend to anyone.
