    Hey all.

    I got Zeus: Master of Olympus for my birthday in, oh man, 1998? '99? It was a while back. I was 9 or 10. It was a lot of fun, but it only works on Windows 98. And now it's not really in stores anymore.

    So, I'm looking for either something to get that game back in working order on XP, or some more Greek-style games. They're lotsa fun :D

    I know that Titan Quest exists, but that's not really Greek. You just go around clicking with your mouse. Something more strategy-oriented, where you have to do things with your economy, etc. Suggestions?

    Although not really Greek, 1503 and 1602AD both are really cool civilization games.

    Theres the microsoft game age of mythology, i know it has greek mythology, but it also has egyption and i believe norse. It's pretty dated though.

    By far the greatest greek mythology game is God of War for the ps2, nothing even comes close to that game.

    It sounds like age of mythology is the only game that is what your looking for, titan quest is pretty sweet though.

    zeus was indeed an awesome game!! Have you tried running it in compatibility mode or checking the net for patches that allow it to work on xp / vista (urgh)?

    Otherwise, I second 'age of mythology'
