Zeus: Master of Olympus

[coleslaw]

Has anyone else played this game yet? At first I didn't think that I was going to enjoy playing it, but started to get into it and now I am hooked. I've played through the first 3 adventures already, which actually took quite some time. I haven't been this hooked on a game since, well, Rollercoaster Tycoon. If you're into those world-building sim games, check Zeus out.

Well, the premise of the game does look rather interesting....

just saw this in today's paper... CompUSA has got this game for only 19.99...was 29.99 with an instant $10 rebate...
worth picking up I think... =)

and with the purchase of Zeus: Master of Olympus, you get a copy of Pharoah for free, cuz they give you a mail-in rebate on this game. It's a full $25 rebate, which covers the cost of the game, except for tax..

i was intriguesd by this game too, but am still not sure. I'm not a big fan of turn-based strategy games, and I didn't particularly enjoy the Caesar series. The game is supposed to be like Pharoah, which is supposed to be like Casear, right?

Actually, the Casear games sucked. Pharaoh on the other hand was much simpler and had more of a fun value than Casear. I enjoyed Pharaoh alot, but Zeus was fun in the beginning as well, but it did get a little repititive.

zeus is just like Caesar.. with a few tweaks
the main thing is that you get to keep your city, you dont have to start from the ground up each time..

It's a lot of fun if you like simulations...
