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.

Monster Hunter 2
Monster Hunter 2Monster Hunter 2 has an improved weapon tree and upgradeable armors. As in all Monster Hunter games, armor pieces can be worn to obtain skills and abilities. A new feature in Monster Hunter 2 is the use of gems. Gems add skill points to complement those added by armor and weapons. Gems are created by combining ore and/or monster parts. Gems can be attached and detached from armor and weapons that have special gem slots. Along with the various species of monster returning from the first Monster Hunter, Monster Hunter 2 contains many new monsters, such as the metallic wind dragon Kushala Daora, the lion-headed dragon Teo Teskatoru (named Teostra in the North American and PAL versions of Monster Hunter Freedom 2) and his female counterpart Nana Teskatory (named Lunastra in the North American and PAL versions of MHF2), the primates Babakonga and Dodobrango (Congalala and Blangonga in MHF2), the bull or minotaur-like monster Rajang, and the chameleon-like dragon Oonazuchi (Chameleos in MHF2). With new monsters also comes the prospect of new weapons and armor.

Monster Hunter
Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises. Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.
