I had this game when I was younger and was quite excited to be able to play it once again. Age is no factor when it comes to enjoying this game and it certainly is no hinderance to understand how to operate the different industries and services you can set up in the game, either. This would be a great game for kids and it really doesn't look all that aged graphically. They'll never know it's a game from the 90's.

Had to buy another copy.

I loved it when it came out, and I still love it today. I had to buy again since I wore out my original copy. Fantastic game play unfortunately, it does not work on vista. So, dual booth with xp and use the OS compatible .exe in properties.

Hours of fun..................

I origionally bought this game in 2000 and played for endless hours. I lost sleep over it at times. I played off and on over the next six years. It's challenging and entertaing at the same time. My ex took it with him when he left and I found myself dying to play, so I bought this one and it has been great. I can't wait to get to the second disk and see what they added.

You can play missions over and over, and each time you can be more creative and try new configurations. You can also challenge yourself and set the level of difficulty, edit missions and create totally new maps. This game never ends.

Excellent strategy game for a few bucks

I enjoy this game greatly. I've played this game before, but had lost the cd, and had upgraded my computer since. But this version is great, works well, music's normally peaceful and enjoyable, and just a fun game to play with.

Great all ages game!

We had purchased this game several years ago,but the disc became too scratched to use. We ended up rebuying it because it truly is a family favorite.

In the original Pharaoh game, one uses logic to plan, build, and manage increasingly more complex Egyptian cities. The cities must include a means to feed and shelter the inhabitants, industry, entertainment, goverment services, educational services, and religious facilities. You keep a delicate balance between spending too much money (going into debt) and not enough money (not providing the services/facilities/jobs necessary to keep your inhabitants happy). While it seems relatively simple, it's not always an easy balance to strike.

As you progress further into the game, you must not only keep your inhabitants happy, but you must also develope foreign relations, trade routes, and prepare for war.

Cleopatra is the expansion pack for the Pharaoh series.

Overall, our family enjoys this game, and it is one of the few that they have come back to over and over for years. As a parent, I appreciate that this game requires a great deal of thought and patience to beat. The graphics, while not as quality as games produced today, are not so dated as to make the game unappealing. The graphics are the main reason we gave the game a 4 - otherwise, we like it enough to give it a 5.
