Man, what was better than forcing the price up in the original game and then backing out at the last moment, forcing an overinflated purchase? Great fun! It's all part of the charm! The howls of horror when you land your friend with something as punishment for them forcing you to put the price up in the first place!

Isn't there the kick player function? I was a bit mithed when I had to play the whole 6 turn game against the computer without pause. I had to run off during auctions and came back knowing that the game would have marched on without me. Bring back pressing a button to continue after summary and production! Even in multiplayer games. Even if it's a timed period that can be averted with a button press.

I didn't think it possible, but it almost seems like you might have improved on the original. Only played one game, but have almost nothing negative to say about it other than a few quibbles (which look like they are to be addressed in 1.1 anyway!). Ain't been this excited about a remake since Ultima V Online

Just found out about this game. Can't wait to get home and try it!

Originally played on the c64. More recently, I have it on my N-Gage via a c64 emulator. And I also tried my hand at making a turn based version for the net about 5 years back. This and Little Computer People has always had a place in my heart.
