Story:Zeus: Master of Olympus is the fifth full title of the City Building Series, developed by Impressions Games and published by Sierra Entertainment.
Like previous titles, Zeus focuses on the building and development of a city in ancient times, this time in Ancient Greece. It features some changes to the Caesar III engine, most notably the new housing blocks, now dividing "common" and "elite" housing from the start, and more detailed walkers.Show more
By the beginning of the 2000's I got totally obsessed with all fantasy and medieval PC games and I remember I purchased Zeus: Master of Olympus but I never could run it on my PC due to some technical issues I never could understand.
I got some red flag message and that was all, I never could manage to play the game. More than 20 years later probably I will be able to if I find it in GOG.com.
"Eine neue stadt, ein neues heim und vielleicht eine neue Arbeitsstelle. Fortuna ist mir wahrlich Hold"
Got this game as a kid in one of these magazines that had CDs included. I remember I payed around 2€ for the Magazine + CD. Endless hours of this game in my youth.
Same intro to game as with @cuestacoffee. Magazine demo cd.
Had to edit .ini files for max house population cheat, because less map space. Big sanctuaries. Trading marbles bronze
It's a nice city building game that's both relaxing and challenging. I think that as a old game it's one of those games that later had influence on our more modern games. Preserving game history is a good way for the new generations of games to get inspiration, understand how gaming culture started and evolved among other things.
