Hello all,
Once again I would like to question the people here, in particular Harrison about one of the Amiga games I found on the Internet while surfing around.
This time its about Foundation Gold.
I probably do not need to mention it is a Settlers clone but I am curious to know what people's opinions are about it regarding gameplay and if its worth collecting.

Very nice game mate. As you say, it is a Settlers clone, and the Gold edition on CD came with loads of updates and extras such as more levels.
Had a great promotion during development where you could scan in a photo of yourself and send to the developers and they would add your face to one of the in game characters.
It had fairly high specs at the time, requiring a 68030 CPU or better, 8MB fast ram or more, and a CD drive.
If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

Works better if you have at least an 040 and a graphics card.

This is one game I've not actually tried on my A4000 since I upgraded it to an 040 a while back. Really should give this a go on there.

But do you guys think its worth collecting?
Someone is offering it on Ebay but its 25GBP and I don't know if that is to much for this game.[I]Earth is like a 24 hour, Seven days a week Stupidity contest which has been running for centuries.

I'm not sure if it's worth collecting as it's not a "classic" I would consider finding an iso and downloading it, see if you enjoy it and if you do then buy it.
