This was one of the first strategy games I ever played, I think I was around 6-7 years old. Immediately fell in love with the setting, gameplay mechanics and overall musical feeling it provided. Of course, since English isn't my native language and I didn't know it that well by that age... Back then I never figured out how to transport resources between islands, leading to situation I never was able to finish last Egypt campaign mission. Every once in a while I started game from beginning, beating game first as Romans, then Asian and lastly get myself stuck with Egyptians. Until couple of years ago I finally managed to finish that deed of mine. Even still to this day, i feel like Settlers 3 is one of the best strategy games ever made, having engraved it's sweet little spot forever into my heart.

Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter
Breath of Fire: Dragon QuarterBreath of Fire: Dragon Quarter is a radical departure from the previous titles of the Breath of Fire series, and in some ways from standard Japanese-style role-playing games in general. The game is built like a huge dungeon crawler, with no overworld map. The combat is tactical: each character has action points (AP), which can be used to move around the screen during an enemy encounter, and perform a variety of combo attacks. There is no magic in the game, and many of the items found in dungeons are random. All the enemies are visible on screen. Depending on who first initiated a physical contact, the party or the enemies get an extra turn in battles. The game allows (and even encourages) the player to restart it from the beginning, keeping the items and the party experience. The game also features a special counter - Ryu can use his traditional dragon transformation abilities, but the counter raises with each such transformation, and when the counter reaches 100, the game is over. Raising the D-ratio allows characters to access new areas every time the game is replayed.
