I finally found a cd copy of Virtual Villagers:The Lost Children at Amazon for 14.49--which with shipping makes it about the same price as the download.
Also ParaWorld which is I think a strategy game with dinosaur units(?) anyway, it's two bucks, so might be worth a try.
I ordered Paraworld. I figure for 2 bucks can't go wrong. Man I haven't played an RTS since the Total Annihilation, Dark Reign days.
If anyone (from Europe especially) is looking for a good deal on the Fallout 3 CE (in a Vault-Tec metal lunchbox), it's only EUR 48.99 including free delivery(!) from Play.com . That would seem like a really nice price for a CE of that caliber.
Paraworld was a very expensive production. Maybe the biggest flop in German gaming history.
King's Bounty (the new re-make) is $29.99 @ Circuit City this week. (Appears to be $39.99 everywhere else ATM.)
Its fantastic. Its far more an RPG than it is a clone of..itself.
There are dozens and dozens of quests and some of them like the weird romance options are real eye openers.
You should download the demo. We should start a thread for it in the RPG forum.
Perhaps because it is from Germany AND a yartsc (yet another rts clone)? I read the first description lines in the wiki and fled as fast than a typhon!Yes. I never understood why it "flopped" so much.
