Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Are there any computer games set in the business world? Take overs, mergers, flotations, legal hassles with courtroom scenes, commercial espionage, weird entrepreneurial characters (Morgan in SMAC)?
Start small, get big. Lots of negotiation.
One of the players could maybe get to be Sid or Brian and try to build up a some company with a silly name.
In the very long ago Monopoly was a much loved board game.
If such a game exists or got designed playing it might represent my last chance to get rich.
Struck me as I walked to work. Am I just talking about Tycoon?
Never played it. Should I?
And yeah, I am one more who likes both Pirates and Colonization. In fact took Colonization out of the box again 6 or 9 months back. Reminded me that the war of independance phase sucks tho'.
I would like to see Space Bucks 2. Space Bucks was a game developed by Sierra. It is a pretty old game. It is like a Space Transport Game. You choose one of 5 Races all with unique abilities. There is a whole Galaxy to Create TradeRoutes.
Or
I would like to see a Cross of Transport Tycoon, Civilization 2, and Space Bucks. Also I remember the game M.U.L.E could you give me a link so i can download it and also what it means.
How about an RPG set in the universe that never ends. I know it sounds weird but stick with me. Obviously it will need to be a massive multiplayer online game, but make it deal with the whole universe. You join as any race you want, and if you don't find one you want, you make it. The universe will never end. That might be a little hard, but it is possible with time and reaserch. You get upgrades to travel, weapons, etc. You can control robots, and AI persons. Control planets, solar systems, and galaxies, or more. Sounds like EQ but I want something that is much bigger, less bugged, and it must have more interactiveness (just made that word up, check the 2005 "Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary" for it) Something like a mix between EQ and the upcoming Deus Ex, except set in the whole universe.

I wanna make video games!

A game without the need for a dozen patches would be awfully nice.
What I suppose I am (naively) saying is that Brian should make this a labour of love. He has junked FIRAXIS and all the problems that seemed to go with that and is now making the sort of game he wants to make.
There are many games manufacturers out there and a lot of mugs ready to be parted with their money. That means that Big Huge Profits are not going to be there in a MeToo game. If Brian wants to design the greaest RTS ever, then I say take 5 years over it - enjoy it and stand proud. Don't rush something for some artificial window and then have to defend it later amongst a hail of criticism as expectations have been so badly hyped (Shogun, anybody?).
Go for the whole show Brian. That's what Game God status is all about. And go with the blessing of Jesus.
Eh - hem.
Did I ever mention how much I would like an updated version of a game based on pirates? I don't care where or when, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Baltic, Coral, any sea will do. Yeah, Brian Reynolds and BHG could make a financial killing if they did it right. I know I would buy it.
Oh, I see that I did mention this before.
Never mind. (-:
To The Hijack Police: I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do it. I wasn't there. I don't even own a computer.
jsorense: I play this every now and again using C64 emulation. It is quite a cool game and I would love an update.
Game: again, you can find M.U.L.E. at www.c64.com -- it is abandonware. You'll need a Commodore 64 emulator, such as CCS64, 32 bit. While you're at it, you can check out Pirates!, which is also Commodore 64 abandonware.
Did I inadvertently mention Pirates! again? Good.
I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
