So what PC games are you going to buy?

[lord of the mark]

after posting, I realized you might guess that, since Id mentioned looking at in on Amazon. But no thats not it.

Second hint: It will help complete a part of my collection thats already strong.

[Standup]

Rising Sun ?

Is this our substitute game until someone bites the bullet on the name the game thread?

No. I meant a genre, not the campaign series (ive only got DG.)

Ok, this is a game for the dino PC, is old, is used, costs $20, and is in a genre where ive got a pretty strong collection (well, for the games that were published before 2000, and so run on the dino) That genre is NOT adventure games. Its also not historically accurate (IE grognard) wargames.

Panzer General.

Maybe I shouldnt have said grognard. I wasnt sure if everyone here 'grokked' the term 'wargame'.

Not a wargame.

Third hint: an offering from a famous and well respected game designer.

I guess it is Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Great game, suits good with the other hint since you have posted recently about playing Rollercoaster Tycoon, and IIRC it's made by a well respcted game designer.

Fourth hint: its not a sequel, nor does it have a sequel.

Fifth hint: the answer is staring you in the face. Right here in this post.

Ta da!!!!!!!!

This is one ive mentioned needing to complete my collection of historic TBS (though here I say strengthen, rather than complete, as I never got CTP, among a few others), since 2003. Not to mention helping complete my collection of Sid games (though i need several others, of course - like RRT)

Its never seen in bargain bins, apparently being something of a rarity.

I've got that game on cd, complete with manual. I have been thinking of selling it. PM me if you are interested. Bear in mind it will be shipped from Australia.
