Patrician 3 is a beloved, classic game by many which is why the discord community in 2025 has gathered over 1800 members since its creation in 2019. Today, it was brought to our attention that this vote exists, AND WE WILL ANSWER!!!!!!
The Italian version of the game is considered a rarity, even though it had full Italian translation, from the text to the dub. That's because the distribution company has gone bankrupt. This game is already on GOG, but it would be really neat to have the Italian version on it too.
I love this game. I used to play it with my father as a child. Now i play it alone but it is not the same. I'd love to hear of more people who love this game and who find it in modern days as a new game.

I play this game sience my childhood with my brother and a friend. This game leant us how business can improve the life around people, and today we both choose to be an entrepreneur.
Have the original game disk to this day, brought me many hours of enjoyment learning the mechanics of the game and expanding my little merchant empire over the year.
This is the game I spent most hours in my childhood playing, not even knwoing what I was doing. Now I pikced it up as an adult and boy it felt wonderful. It would be awesome to have it updated and restored.

Patrician 3 is a game where you feel the love the developers poured into it. The church bell rings according to your realtime. The music flows depending on ingame context. You can micromanage the hansa to success, or just automate, fast foward and watch your money grow. Starting with trading, getting into production and then going on expeditions - the game has a lot to offer, even to different playstyles. You can hunt pirates or even turn pirate yourself and attack the hansa. Maybe even found your own city. Become the Alderman. Using all these mechanics - how big can you grow the hansa?! I play this game solo and still play it today.

This game teaches how a management and economics game should be, from its production chains to its complex logistics management. An old-fashioned game with soul.

This struggle is between the Yshrenian Empire who are harnessing the power of the Knights in a bid to conquer the world, and the Athwani Mage Kingdom who are trying to stop them. These events would shape history to come in the White Knight Chronicles saga, and White Knight Chronicles: Origins tells the story of the unsung heroes who lived through this period of unrest, only to be forgotten in the annals of time.

Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals
Lufia II: Rise of the SinistralsLufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals serves as a prequel to Lufia & the Fortress of Doom, unfolding its events ninety-nine years before. The narrative delves into the origins of the series' antagonists, the Sinistrals, a group of super-humans. Players take on the role of the ancestor of Maxim, the protagonist from the first game, as he embarks on a quest after encountering Iris, a mysterious woman. Maxim seeks other heroes to join forces in preventing the Sinistrals from wreaking havoc and destroying the world. Like its predecessor, Rise of the Sinistrals follows the Japanese-style turn-based RPG format with an infusion of puzzle elements. The game incorporates intricate puzzles into its dungeon designs, requiring players to use various items and accessories for solving. Additionally, it introduces the "Capsule Monsters" system, allowing summoned monsters to participate in battles. These creatures evolve through the consumption of weapons, armour, or special fruits. Unlike the first game, dungeons in Rise of the Sinistrals lack random battles, with enemies visibly moving on-screen.
