Dungeons Keeper 2, Heroes of Might and Magic III, medieval 2 Total war and Sid Meiet's Pirates!

I love them, but they're too old and I'm sure there's a modern version somewhere that's better. Also you won't get why theyre fantastic unless you were there when they came out. All games that scratch an itch no other game does.

there is no modern version of m2tw, just modern mods!

Yeah the modding community has made some fantastic things for that game. It's huge. I need to play it again soon

Will add Sid Meier's Railroads! Great game but GameByro as an engine really holds the game back. Assuming Pirates has the same issues

I really enjoyed DK2 and Sid Meier's Pirates, but I think last time I tried to get either to run on my system they just wouldn't run. I'd love to give 'em a go again.

Don't tell anyone, but someone I know loved Dungeon Keeper to such an extent they walked out of the local mall with a copy of Dungeon Keeper 2 under their shirt.

Crazy I know. Keep in mind, this may have occurred during the annual "Crazy Dayz" event where they just put bins of crap out at 75% off. Crazy I tells ya.
