    yup. It's a funny game.

    don't remember it well, but I had fun for the short time I played it.

    I'd say it's worth $10!

    I wouldn't call it better than SimCity, but it is pretty cool.

    It's close to the DK series but with better graphics and different tools. Worth the budget price.

    It is a great game. I played it about 2 years ago. The funniest was that you could shrink the Eiffel Tower so it would fit in your "Base" :)

    Another management game that you don't hear enough about any more I think: SimGolf by Sid Meier.

    Yep, I bought it from TryGames back then (as a digital download) and had a blast. I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it, but now I think I'm going to reinstall it again. :D

    Where did you buy this? Digital download or from a store?

    I'd pay $10 for it but cant' find it anywhere, except Sierra's site for $20.

    sid meiers pirates is fun at first but quite repetitive. its so repetitive later on it made me sick. dancing kill some pirates, kill some settlers, the land battles just suck coz your usually outnumbered.

    Sim golf is fun but its in a different area, evil genius is like action and golf is a sport, but its fun to see them cuss once in a while :p

    after a few dozen calls from friends, i bought a copy from my friend. lol 5$. finally i sit down to install this on XP. no problem, but with vista i get some process error. then i just press continue and the game works like a charm. kinda worried though about the process problem. im thinking il patch it.
