Drinking Cold Coffee... Computer Games *more is bored*

[David]

Due to the nature of the Masonry Job I'm working on now... this rain makes it impossible to work... so I am sitting in front of my comp drinking cold coffee... a couple of games I think many here might like.

Imperialism by SSI, its an old but very well balanced good game, a turn-based strategy game that puts you in the seat as a 18-19th century European Imperial power, or random maps.

Tropico, another great game more recent, you are a Latin American Dictator circa 1940's to 1980's and have to balance foriegn policy between U.S./Russia, economy, and rebellions. It's a real-time strategy.

Anyone ever play these games?

[Sho]

I've played Tropico. Nice game, pretty realistic. I'm not much good at that type of game, though. For that matter, I'm not much good at any game.

[The Hunter]

Played tropico. Was kinda nice, but i din't have anything else to do then anyway. (Played it during my Achorwatch on board).

Got Tropico 2 too. Better graphics, nice music, but bores quickly.

I love strategy, never played imp tho. I'll check for a "link" soon tho...

SSi , thats the software manufacturer who creates all those strat games like "cossacks" etc. right?

[Thomas Pickert]

Tropico, nice it was, yes. Played it years ago. I particularly liked the German voice of the advisor. 'Prrrrresidente...'. I loved it.
But it gets boring after a while, without offering new motivation to pick it up again.
Tropico 2, I was considering to look at it, but I'm currently not in the position to afford anything like that.

[new.vogue.nightmare]

That's why we have software piracy! And the "I'll pay for it when I can afford it" excuse! ...Not that I do that o_o;;;;

[jeslange]

hehehe...I bought Tropico about a week before discovering Cantr. It's collecting dust in a closet or something, but I do remember liking the way the advisors and such buttered me up.

[David]

Imperialism is much more expansive and in depth than Tropico, graphics aren't as good, but that isn't what makes that type of game anyway... I figure I would share that title with you guys cause obviously if you play Cantr 3d effects aren't a big deal.

[KVZ]

I have played both. I like any strategy games like that two titles. I like Civ series, CTP2, Alpha Centauri, Master of Orion 2. All of those are great strategy games.

[The Hunter]

Alpha Centauri? Yuk... I love all Civ's, but AC was terrible, the other one, (forgot the title) wasn't perfect either.

Anyone has Civ PTW?

[west]

I was told PTW was a crap game, and it was almost impossible to play online (the whole point) because it would constantly crash. Maybe they've patched it, but...

and I used to love Civ II.

[Thomas Pickert]

What's so terrible about Alpha Centauri? It's one of the very few games, that I can take out every once in a while, and enjoy it.

[Bran-Muffin]

I agree with Thomas, Alpha Centauri is a good game to play, havnt played it in awhile but no matter its a good game.

[new.vogue.nightmare]

Let's all pray that I don't find my Civ 2 CD. I will never accomplish anything ever again. Yes, even y'ns. *points to atheists*

[west]

A Centurai was just an attempt to capitalize on the success of Civ II and SId Meier's name. It's not a horrible game, but it's just Civ with a new skin.

[Bran-Muffin]

Cant say that i have played Civ or Civ two always wanted to try it :p just never got around to getting those.
