Not exactly a citybuilder but Europa 1400: The Guild starts in 1400 and is based almost soley in Europe. Other than that, many games set in ancient Rome/ Greece ( Zeus , Caeser , etc.) but I'd go for Medieval Lords: http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/medieval-lords-build-defend-expand A game whic...

Small (game) ROM question
I was just wondering why on NES, SNES, MAME etc. ROM files there are often certain symbols and letters after the filename... I'm referring mainly to "[!]" which one usually sees after certain versions of NES files, say for example: Mega Man 3 (U) [!].nes Now why has that US version of Mega...

The Case for NOT lumping 4x with TBS/ RTS
For me, 4x games are distinct from TBS/ RTS games in many ways. I can see an argument for say, Warcraft and Heroes of Might and Magic going in the same genre, or, say, Command and Conquer and Panzer General - but I CAN'T accept those games going in the same category as Civ, Alpha Centauri, Colonizat...

Hmmmm.... big tech trees... let me think... I remember Galactic Civilizations having quite a big one: http://webpages.charter.net/trevorpowdrell/techtree.pdf Well, maybe not. I've done a bit of a search and it seems that Total Annihilation is reknowned for having the biggest tech tree of any RTS - i...

I made a list of genres to go with my Top 100 games on my website: http://www.parviniworld.cjb.cc/Some%20useful%20gaming%20terms.html Seems to me, 4x and Sneaker are both missing from the list above. I'd argue 4x especially has enough games in it to make it a genre unto itself distinct from a TBS or...

Internet Explorer 7.0
I recently upgraded to IE7.0 - I quite like the tags, streamlined layout and, most of all, how seemingly all text has the appearance of a nicely rounded Verdana font. However, my girlfriend, absolutely HATES it - she REALLY REALLY hates it. She's been asking me to change it back all week. So - do yo...

Dearest Chroelle,
I have no idea if it will remain on there but "The League" has attempted to infultrate wikipedia. See the following link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldgames.nu
Also check my own actions in the relevent thread.
Yours,
Ivan Rip

It's design is pretty functional so it would probably be an advantage to have a working knowledge of the original to get around it quickly as the developers' documentation is rather scant.
