Just read the HoA review, nice idea that. Ideally, there'd be one of those for each traditional adventure, RPG, and strategy write-up. If someone's up for any of these, I'm game:

- Betrayal at Krondor
- Buzz Aldrin's Race Into Space
- Police Quest II or III
- KGB
- Bermuda Syndrome

Wow, I guess that's the only game which actually uses the 'Pause' key for that function Thanks!

Pause: Pause key
Loading soldiers on a ship: Ctrl + left mouse key

Like last time, the game's interface is freaking the hell out of me, and now I need some help: How do I load my soldiers onto a ship to get them to the enemies' islands? Also, is there any way to pause the game?

Okay. I'll make some screenshots meanwhile.

That's fine with me. For the promotial title, I'd suggest "Geheimprojekt DMSO", because it's probably the freakiest idea

Let's do Anno 1602 first, though. I'll dig it out again, play it and let you know when I got familiar enough with it again.

Panzer General 3D (German) = Panzer General II (English)

That's good because I liked it - we could finally have a controversial discussion. All the others are okay for me, too.

So how about Anno 1602 and one promotional game? This is completely random, but we have to start somewhere.

Anno 1602 is something I played three years ago, and I didn't like it at all. Could do it, though. Never tried Verkehrsgigant, but I'd be willing to try if you give me enough time. As for Panzer General 3D, I'm confused about the name again (German or English name?), but to be honest, it'd be last on my list of these three.

Other suggestions:
-Software Manager: German economy sim I played a little about a year ago. Virtually unknown, which makes it interesting.
-The Famous Five: Five On A Treasure Island: I only just found this game for the first time, and haven't played it yet, but it could be funny (just for the record: that's "F?nf Freunde" in German)
-Hunter Hunted: Nice modern arcade style game.
-The Clou: Probably not the best idea for us two together, because our experiences with it should be almost identical, so we can't add to the other's opinion. Definitely a candidate for addition if there's anyone else willing to jump in, though.
-One of the promotial games I collected on that CD once? Especially those Adventures were quite funny...
-Some other Adventure game? I always have lots of those lying around - Discworld, The Dark Half, Innocent Until Caught, Universe, Ringworld etc.

I recently played & finished Anno 1602, Verkehrsgigant and Panzer General 3D, but I'd also like to review a comepletely unknown game. Any suggestions?

Sure

Anyone up for another review?

I'll still do that, but please upload this one. my version's meant more as a reference doc than anything else. to fuel the discussion, so to speak.

Thanks, I guess we can just take what you just said, then:

So will you still do the 'classic review' from the discussion and then compare, or should we just post it as it is now?

sorry about the late reply...
I like the result a lot more than I liked the idea when you proposed to make it a conversation-based review. It's a lot more readable than I had expected and gives a good overview of the game.
To my further embarrassment, I still haven't edited it into the old review form completely yet. However, the review as it now is will probably be a lot better than what will come out of that.

The trigger is random, most of the time the villagers will steal what's in your hand, but occasionally it will come from your inventory even if you are carrying something in your hand.
I've read this in a help text somewhere, but can't find it again. So, I've confirmed it myself. It's true.

...who have both been here and read the remaining question numerous times, but ignored it so far: The problem won't just go away by itself. The review can't be posted as long as you don't say anything. So, please do - and if it's only "I don't care".

Ok, here's what we have now. The last thing still to be sorted out should be this one, then:So... how is it? Carrying gifts always worked for me, but then again, I usually avoided contact with the villagers completely. What is it that triggers this not to work? Random luck? Certain previous actions?

Just put several subheading in between the current text, for better orientation.

As far as I'm concerned, we can use that quote and then lose johann's "can't judge that".

You mean reorder everything which has been said, or just put several subheading in between the current text?
