The Settlers is one of the best games ever written for the Amiga... :)

Used to love playing the ex-wife at it for days on end. I'd encourage her to build up her land and villages and she would spend days building things and making roads as straight as possible... :)

While she was doing that I was sneakily building up my knights ready to launch an all out attack on her, could never stop howling with laughter as I watched her wee teary eyed sad face as I burned down everything she had spent days building up... :)

Sick & twisted... maybe but it was the object of the game after all, though it was pretty risky health wise when I finally burnt down her castle and then she would have a hairy fit and lob everything at hand at me... :)

Gawd... if there's one thing I miss about the missus, it was playing her at Settlers... :D

I have to agree that this game is bad for your helth but for different reasons. I remember doing a 3+ day stint playing it with no sleep. Not to mention the amount of coffee and cigarettes I consumed during the process :P


Yup... the fags, coffee and lack of sleep were all part of the fun, luckily we trained our daughter to keep the coffee coming and empty the ashtrays and poke us if we began to nod off... ahhh, happy days... :)

Bought the Settlers II for the Amiga years ago played it for about 7 minutes then never looked at it again since, it was/is naff compared to the original... :(

The Settlers II was released on the Amiga and was called Foundation, but it was totally naff... :(
