Caesar III (PC) Gameplay

Imagine my incredible surprise when I took a CD from 1998, put it into the DVD drive on my Windows 10 computer, and not only did the game install just fine, but it also runs perfectly too. Pleasant surprise too, because Caesar III is a really fun game.

Unfortunately, I have never played very far into this game. I remember it was a $1 big lots game that my sister bought me for Christmas one year, and while I really enjoy it's sim gameplay every time I boot it up, I've always gotten distracted by other games.

While later levels do feature building armies, and some other things, Caesar III is a lot more Sim City, or Civilization than it is Warcraft in nature. The additive nature of building, and maintaining a city, setting up trade routes, appeasing the Roman gods, and keeping up the day-to-day operations of a Roman city are incredibly addictive. I'm just sad that I have never played very far into this game.

Part of it too is that I have very little idea what's going on in the game. It's pretty complex, and my copy certainly didn't come with a manual to tell you what to do. I just kind of wing it. I guess I could read more of the descriptions in the training levels, but I didn't do it for this gameplay footage. Even with having a general sense of what I am supposed to do in the game, I find this game to be incredibly addictive, an I'm happy it just runs on my modern PC without any tinkering. Pretty cool, actually.
