Where the hell are my city building games???

Thread title says it all. I cant explain why but i become pretty bored of PC gaming after just a couple of hours (sometimes less), there are exceptions though; RTS games, Point and Click adventures and CITY BUILDING games keep me hooked for hours straight.

So.....where the hell are my sequels to games like Caesar, Pharaoh, Master of Olynmpus: Zeus, etc?

I know Impressions Games made a couple of 3D ones but they where souless, BRING BACK 2D!!!!!

PS: Sim City (post 3000) SUCKS!!!

(^Zeus: Master of Olympus)

So pretty:cry:

the first screen what game is that, i can't see the others.clembo1990

Zeus: Master of Olympus

You cant see the other screens? :?

Thats wierd, i see them fine

I liked sim city 4 a lot better than the previous sim city games. It's pretty great. hakanakumono

I bought it and i was honestly very disapointed

Why? At first I was really frustrated with the game after finally getting hte hang of 3000. Once I got the hang of it I loved it, especially the variety to the game.

Anno 1404 looks promising

Get pumped for Cities XL, it may be our only hope.supercubedude64

hmmm, Googled it, found this:

eh, i really hate these games in 3D. And the realistic approach kills all the charm.

It looks...dull

But i'l give it a try when its out.

Anno 1404 looks promising

I like Anno but its really a hybrid game. RTS+CB

But yeah, Anno is the closest thing to a 3D city Building game i actually enjoyed.

I'm still playing SC 3000.

For me it never gets old. Excellent replay value.

I'm surprised almost nobody here knows or played Impressions City Building games.

To me they where some of the best things to grace PC gaming.

These are more then wort the (dirt-cheap) price they cost now.

SC4?

I still play Pharaoh alot. Best city building game IMO.Aku101

Its my favourite too, with Zeus dangerously close.

I have Pharaoh installed right now on my laptop actually :P

I always have one of these installed. Lov'em to death

Oh and the soundtrack ROCKS

i miss the times when i was playing master of olympus

it was a real hard game

augh how do i quote lol, can i only do it through quick quote now? but btw the game we can see is called zeus. that's all. it's REALLY old but very fun. tile based city builder, just like sim city only in ancient greece and you can actually win. no 3 trillion dollar deficits in that.

edit: but if you want a reasonably new citybuilding ish game try 1701 ad. colonization game that does technically have war, but it's not hard to play without war. although the queen's navy is stupid. they send like 4 wimpy ships and by then you have 20 fleets of 1st rates.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the title was Zues, and then what's the 1st pic I see?

I really wish I hadn't lost that disc. :(

I tried the demo but it doesn't work on vista maybe cus i got an error message mid way through install.clembo1990

Your Vista is 64-bit ?

Here (from Gamefaqs):

If you are having further problems in trying to play the game (Zeus or its' expansion "Poseidon"), you may attempt two ways to do so. One is thru the compatibility option & another is thru running the program as an administrator. By default on the first created user account, you should have the administrator privilege. It varies depending on who had the system first.

To use the compatibility option: right click on the program's icon, select Properties, then click on the tab "Compatibility", checkmark: Run this program in compatibility mode for.
You have the options with the Zeus game to play it in Windows 95. 98, ME, and 2000. Unofficially you can say for it to run on Windows XP if you are using Vista. If you want administrator permission to run the program, checkmark the "Run this program as an Administrator". Click Apply then Ok. Restart the system for good measure on the system knowing you want it to stay this way next time & after all. After the system comes back up, enjoy the game after you run it. =)
