Stronghold review

Electronic Games magazine (1994): "This game doesn't take hours to play it takes days or weeks - maybe even months. Like a good book, Stronghold continues to involve the player even when the computer is off While she carries on the mundane duties of daily life, a small section in the back of her brain is wondering whether the gold mine in Jack the Dwarf's backyard is exhausted yet, or whether Simon the Mage s forest should be cut down to produce more housing. And are there any more dragons in the Southern Wilderness? And what about Baroness Roxanne? When will she attack, and from what direction? And what the heck am I going to do about that little thief Fafnir? Join in Stronghold, and answer for yourself."

This was one of the coolest games I've ever played, and if you can get past the weird interface it's held up really well. The trouble is that you can only have a certain amount of buildings in the game before it starts deleting old ones, which means that you can't really get too into the kingdom building part of it. I wish there were more games like this.
