I haven't played this since the NES days.  Are the newer PC versions any good?
PDH!

Expand on that.

It has relatively nice graphics. The various animations and character graphics give a good "feel" for the game. I had an aborted AAR in the previous Languish, where I started a new faction with generals named after Languish posters. I kinda' got surrounded in that with enemies so I just stopped :P

Various troop types in the usual rock-paper-scissors combat system, generals can do stuff like set things on fire, or duel. Its like the older ROTTK titles, really.

I bought it off Gamersgate, I think it worth the price it has there.

Yeah in Tamas's defense, many of the offerings in this brand are quite similar.

I think it is time for you to do your own work.

Kweh!
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

You've been missing out, buddy. 

My favourite incarnations over the years have been #'s 4 (SNES) and 8 (PS2).

The latest PC version is good fun, although a substantial change in many ways vs older versions.  Well worth playing.

I shall try it. On my new gaming computer.  Which I loaded Windows on today. And lost video after loading the video drivers. And cursed a lot.
PDH!
