The other day I downloaded the WHD installer for The Settlers. I had it installed already but being a new installer I thought I'd try it out.
I haven't played the game for AGES so when I double clicked I sat back & watched the cute little intro (Cue the music).
Our friendly little knight rode down the lane, into the village where the children were playing, trotted past the bald bloke beating the metal thing ;-) Honked his horn, down came the drawbridge & into the castle he went...
Then.. There is was, clear as day right in front of me!

I felt a warm fuzzy feeling inside as the corner of my mouth curled upward forming a smile.
The Settlers are 10 years old.
This was the first game that stole hours of my life & I could do nothing to stop it except carry on playing.
Shame we didn't get the following games but still, lets hear it for Blue Byte & The Settlers.. :pint: :-)
