I love this package of games. If you like civilization you'll l love this game. It has most of the same features but with a more user friendly interface that makes it easy to figure out what to do, so you're not spending so much time trying to figure out how to play and more time accually playing. I found it to be quite addicting and I would loose track of time while playing these games.
excellent deal... historical city building...

"Caesar III" is a best-selling, top-rated historical city building game that established the genre seven years ago. It lets you run a city in ancient Rome. It was so popular that "Zeus"/"Poseidon" for cities in ancient Greece and "Pharaoh"/"Cleopatra" for cities in ancient Egypt soon followed.
This collection is an excellent deal to get the three Caesar III, Zeus, Pharaoh games and the two Poseidon, Cleopatra expansions. Each culture has a different theme treatment for landscapes, buildings, characters, goods, interactions with other cities etc.
Game play ranges from easy to difficult depending on what scenarios and difficulty levels you choose to play. Game help is available in the player menus. Even better help is available free from online fan sites offering strategy guides, walkthroughs, and faqs.
If you like these games, check out also the modern game treatment ("Sims2"-like zooming 3D landscapes and characters) now available for ancient Egypt in "Children of the Nile" (reviewed separately) and ancient Rome in "Caesar IV" (due Fall 2006).
The best collection ever!

I ordered this last week and upon arrival was very annoyed to learn that it does NOT come with instruction manuals. As well as this the box contained only four of the promised five games (cleopatra was missing). If anyone has any idea what I can do to get a refund etc. please post a reply
thank you
(don't buy this unless you have access to the manuals!)

You'll get to play five games in beautifully detailed graphics and animation; it's challenging and very addictive. Expect to spend lots of hours on the computer against your will.
My favorite is Caesar; I often end up playing it till the wee hours of the nite.
Check the Sierra site for patches.
