Fun:
I started off my city building career with Children of the Nile and worked backwards from there. Zeus: Master of Olympus was as far back as I cared to go as I found the distance building restrictions on Pharaoh and Caesar III annoyed me too much. With Zeus you have the freedom to have workplaces anywhere on the map - without having to build housing infrastructure to go with it. There are several different campaigns to play of varying lengths and difficulties, each of which presents its' own challenges but all can be overcome. I had heard of the Atlantis add-on, but had trouble finding it so to finally see a Gold edition with both the original game and add-on meant I had to buy it. Atlantis adds more campaigns, different buildings in some cases and, of course, more fun. Sierra made a very successful series of these games and they're still great to play; my favourite being Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom.

Fun:
I love Pharaoh. It is one of my favourite games. I bought this game on a whim because it was cheap, and I love this even more. It's a very similar format of game - build a city, complete the goals, and the next time your goals will be more difficult. However in this game there are story arcs where you'll have the same style of mission with set goals, but over the course of 6-8 missions you'll be working from the same city. So any mistakes in building in mission 1 of the arc may impact on your later missions. This greater investment in each city makes the effort matter more - you can't get away with shoddy design or wasting space as you can in some Pharaoh levels.

Fun:
After my sister (accidentally) destroyed my former copy of this game I was forced to play the online demo. With the magic of internet I found out that this game still was being sold. What can I say about this game, I'm over the moon! After playing games like Simcity, Age of Empires and Age of Mythology I found this game combining all the good parts. It gave me hours and hours of playing pleasure. A great tip for everyone out there. It's a must have classic!

Zeus and Poseidon game
The game is much better than the demo version! You get much more control and there about 20 adventures to complete so there's a lot of versions. Read more
