Egypt Old Kingdom Turn based strategy, empire management. Build up your city, found your dynasty, pray to gods, open techs, place cards of workers to act out your will. Kill crocodiles and hippos, build houses, barracks, temples, plant flax fields and grain. Assimilate tribes. The map view has two levels. One is your capital and neighbouring area, the other is the Nile-Egypt view. I played only little when that opened up finally. Fairly repetitive and actions are restricted. Can just click away mindlessly, but have to pay attention to the resources to be actual successful, calculate with all the decimal numbers. There is a story mode with timed events that matter a lot, and free build, where events more like flavors. Gets a thumbs up from me for the theme, and they build upon the ancient Egyptian aesthetics for the controls. I really liked that they show the name of your capital in the upper left corner with the hieroglyphs: Inebu-hedj, White Wall - which were named Memphis by the Greeks. The devs also offer historical facts to read through, very educational. It's an okay game. Legal Crime popped on my radar last week. I played the demo over 9000 years ago, I found it on a demo cd of a pc mag. I loved it. It allowed some maps to play on unrestricted. Not that much to do in the game. Extort businesses, convert them to illegal operations - Let's sell some boooooze! -, bribe the army, police, fbi, and politicians, recruit various thugs - Ready for the Cause! -, and do a drive by with a car packed with tommy gunners. Copito, Capo. Most surprisingly it runs on Wine. And to my great surprise serials were given to the game to open the rest of the maps! Awesome. It was offered as abandonware, I dunno about the legality... Next to it, a Russian version was offered, with the title: Capone. It is a full game, with Russian voices, and replaced pictures, and some textures. Too bad everything is Cyrillic. Although don't have to read too much in this game. Still I stick with the original.
