A truly fun little game. I decided one day to give it a spin for old times sake, and ended up playing it for six hours. Not many a game this age can do that. Oldie but goodie for sure, personally on par with Halo Combat Evolved. If you can ever find a copy in a bargain bin or for around $10 online, worth it. Also a great introduction to city-building for age 10-11ish kids; not violent or overly complex, and ranging in difficulty from nearly impossible to fail at to rather challenging. I recently enjoyed showing it to my younger brother (4th grade) and teaching him the basics. Now, back to conquering Sparta...
