Not that old. Wasn't it one of the Caesar series that Sierra released? Because there were at least 3 Caesar titles before Cleopatra came out, and a few titles that followed the lot. I got tired with it all around Caesar 3. Lots of fun originally, but they worked that idea with only minor modifications into the ground over time.

Yes this copy came bundled with a Caesar title. Still fun if only for short periods of time. Also pulled out my old 98 laptop and have been playing Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail..forgot how much fun it was and how closely it followed the movie.

Well, I was playing Dungeon Lords until i got on a side track and started playing Prey, which I must say looks incredible on max graphic settings.

I'm gonna head back into Dungeon Lords as soon as I beat Prey, which should be soon.

Haven't played Cleopatra, but if you like it and Caesar 3 as well, then you should try Pharaoh as well... It's based on same system as Caesar, but there is few nifty additions to it, as well as the interesting theme...

Oh, and I'm currently playing Warcraft 3 and Transport Tycoon Deluxe...
The Transport Tycoon is actually suprisingly hard when you haven't played it in ages...

Actually have the Pharaoh w/Cleo edition...

The Caesar 3 disc is laying around here but I've never tried it.
I've always thought I would if i ever finished all of the Cleo missions...

but I never get that far..:laugh:

Well, I played a bit of Genesis Rising demo and the demo of Red Ocean. Didn't like either of them. Still playing Bio-Menace, Flashback and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas at the moment.

Currently playing yet another full run through of the BG Saga (BG1 ToSC followed by BG2 SoA and ToB) with a Kensai/Thief (my first ever evil party in BG

)

Also got two parties going in Temple of Elemental Evil - A Neutral Good Party led by an Paladin with a cleric, druid, thief and evoker (and 2 wives that are tagging along lmao) and a Chaotic Evil party called The Dark Sisters (3 females, one is a Necromancer, one a sorcerer that specialises in Evocation, and a Transmuter). Playing with the Co8 5.0 mod and the latest bug fix patch and having loads of fun - I'm loving role playing in this game, its great and I really feel like my actions have more consequences than in a lot of other CRPGs. The turn based combat is great too, I'd love more CRPGs to have turned based combat set out in a similar style. Wondering why it took me this long to actually buy the game :laugh: Its just a shame that Troika are no longer around. So far I have played 2 of their games, Bloodlines and ToEE, and both are firmly on my list of favourite RPGs (along with all the Black Isle games I have played and Morrowind

)

I am playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and I can say that I enjoyed it much more than Gothic 3, to be honest. Still playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas too.

Hopefully, I can get my hands on Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

Baldur's Gate, Stalker and the Freespace 2 Open Source Project. Not all at the same time, of course.

I've got Medieval 2: Total War, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Supreme Commander and Fable: The Lost Chapters lieing on my desk, with some more games waiting in the cupboard and Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory as a permanent favourite. I don't spend enough time playing

Thanks to myself for not backing up my save games, I have to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. all the way from the start again. Stupid computer crash.

Another game I'm playing is Supreme Commander.

DesR85 · Post by **DesR85** » Thu May 17, 2007 8:02 am

I'm putting Supreme Commander on hold for now as I'm enjoying my time with Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

Also playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as well, though only from time to time. I also played the Lost Planet demo, though to be honest, it isn't that good. A poor port and mostly gunning down lots of monsters the Serious Sam way.

I'm currently replaying Fallout:Tactics...
Currently trying to solo through it...

Bought a new game recently, Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War with Winter Assault and Dark Crusade together.

I'm so glad I got around to playing it today so I could realize just how much this game sucks so I can return it tommorrow. Gods, I've never seen a game so horribly done and lacking in features.
