I am three hours away from finishing a forty-eight hour biography of Ulysses S. Grant I've been listening too via audible. The biography is excellent and it has kept me interested throughout the majority of it.
One thing the book has done is rekindle my interest in strategy games. Years ago I played games like Side Meier's Gettysburg, Waterloo:Napoleon's Last Battle, the Close Combat games, and Medieval Total War.
Later on I tried to play Empire Total War, but the nation building aspect of it had become too complex for me. The original Medieval Total War was a fine balance between the battles and the diplomacy, but the new stuff seems awfully complicated.
Does anyone here play strategy games?
Any suggestions on games to try?
Can you make these old games work on new computers?
