Summary

In the same league as Civilization (though different), this game is the Genuine Article.

The Good

Serf City is one of the games I used to play for hours and hours on the 386 (and later on the 486). Surpassed only by Civilization, this game had no real competition in the God department: an incredible combination of great music, good control, pleasent graphics and amazingly addictive gameplay. Though I like the Amiga version better (despite its lack of memory handicap) I have to admit the PC conversion is very true to the original and presents the user with an incredibly satisfying simulation of controlling ridiculous feudal territories.

The Bad

It's repetitive, but otherwise damn near perfect.

The Bottom Line

A genius game. If you liked Civilization you will certainly like this one.
