Summary: Compelling and fun
Review: A great three-pack. Two games, with the extension to Pharoah. The games are pretty much non-violent, city-building god-games, and you are required to consider most aspects of a city-state (trade, population, religion, foreign wars, diplomacy) to survive. It's also quite safe for children - I'm happy with my 5-yr-old playing alone. No ugly graphics, no commercialism, no junk americana voices and great gameplay. Caesar is just different enough to the Egyptians to pull you in, but similar enough to share some techniques. All-in-all, probably the cheapest entertainment around.

Summary: Caesar and the others
Review: Caesar 3 and the others are very adicting . I warn you if you have a job you need to schedule your play on the weekends. Caesar in particular can consume all of your attention for days. If you have Children. Make sure they do thier home work first and don't play on a night when they have a test or something in the morning. These games are very adicting. But are quite a bit of fun. I think we need to add an Adicted to the Caesar game. if your system can't play these games consider Caesar 2 as it will run even in DOS.

Summary: good city sims
Review: cleopatra and pharo are some of my favorite city sims. I found ceaser 3 chunky and hard to play. But getting 3 games in one is a great value. Get ready to lose some major time here!! A good value.

Summary: Stupendous value.
Review: Great Empires Collection by Sierra Studios is a stupendous value for the money. The three games are awesome and the lack of blood and violence is a step in the right direction. The game is very intricate and quite tricky (especially as one's citizens demand more and more goods). The graphics are very well done and the controls are quite easy to master. Highly Recommended.

Summary: Here is a game,when comes such other?
Review: Hi.Well,I had bought Caesar3 in 2000.I played zealously for 1 year then I had to quit as I could not get time from my school final year.Now that I have graduated,I was searching for the CD and couldn't find it.So I went to Sierra website,came to know of the Empires Collection and reached here.
Let me tell you,I've played Caesar3 and Pharaoh+Expansion(at my friend's).These games are the most addictive games in the universe.Now that I'm without my C3,I'm having withdrawal symptoms.LOL.But truly,kudos to the creators of these games.C3 was the first game I bought and man,is it great.I've spent many 24hr 'shifts' in this game.And just observing the game (while someone else's playing) is equally engaging.I'd never ever trade anything for these games.

Summary: These are the best challenging scenario games - They rock!!
Review: I bought the Empire Collection just about a week ago now, and so far I have only played CaesarIII, but let me tell you, this game is exactly what one wants in a game: Great graphics, challenging scenarios, smooth running with your computer. CaesarIII is very addictive, as I realised one day when I woke up and spent from 9:30am till 4:00pm playing it. I was not even conscience of the time but even after all that time I still hadn't got bored. Personally, one thing I like is that it doesn't cause your computer to "stick up" even after playing it for hours on end. The graphics and sounds are like real life and it is really amazing how a game with such good graphics and sounds doesn't cause your computer to freeze after extended play. The only "con" I see in this game is that it is very time consuming and in many scenarios Caesar's demands seem impossible to met. You either have runned out of space or don't have enough money.
However, if you think you're a pro when it comes to strategy games, then I highly recommend you to buy "The Empires Collection".

Summary: Here is a game,when comes such other?
Review: I got this set for Christmas and I love it. I've gone a few weeks here and there without playing with the games but I always seem to return. There are four CDs in the pack, three games and a preview CD. The best of the pack is Caesar III, of course. It's tight and runs beautifully and once you begin to get the hang of the game you find the real challenges are only beginning. I've played Pharaoh and its expansion less because I find the UI on them a little clunky. Don't get me wrong--it's beautifully crafted, but less intuitive than the Caeser UI. I also dislike all the minor twiddling you have to do with Pharaoh to keep things running smoothly (but then perhaps I've not played it enough to learn all the secrets there), and don't like the design so much finding it less elegant and more harsh on the eye. Overall though I think I'll return to these games often, and they're always a great way to spend a little time relaxing.
