TIL there's Faery Tale Adventure II
I've only ever played the first one.

Gotta say... it looks absolutely terrible. Maybe I'd enjoy it but the trailer is wholly unconvincing.
I think I'll stick to Rocks'n'Diamonds for now.

Yes, I remember the original Stronghold [External Link], I've always wanted to play it after reading the review in a paper magazine, but it didn't have an Amiga version, eh...

This concept is so alien that I had to read the title three times before grasping the message.

Isn't this [External Link] kind of Colonization 2?

It's one thing to give you skins like CS:GO, it's another for people to actually see their own skin while running around — and people who buy their skins love that.
Who wouldn't pay to be able to stare at Gordon Freeman's ass while playing? :tongue:

Paradox Interactive will be increasing game prices across a bunch of currencies
19 Dec 2022 at 4:06 pm UTC

Yeah, I won't be buying any more of their games after naively "collecting" EUIV and CK2 piece by piece. So they can price their games at $1000 for all I care.
