The Settlers? You don't know that game?


Have you ever heard about the game called Surf City? AFAIK Surf City is what Americans called The Settlers (1)

Surf City? That's nothing like as cute. Don't tell me they replaced the theme tune (which I still hum to this day) with the Beach Boys or something?

No it's the Disney version. You meet with lots of guys and trade mild insults like "you smell" then go home and realise your life is fine anyway.

Hmmm, I'll have to see how SettlersV turns out. I liked 2 and somewhat liked 3. The demo of 4 didn't waste too much of my bandwidth and saved me $.

Bring me down on the side of prefering comic graphics over 3-D graphics. They feel innately more playable to me.


I will never forgive Sensible Soccer for ditching birdseye for 3-D. Maybe.
