I haven't thought of Centennia in years. I loved how they wanted to charge so much for it. I think it was Fate who helped people get a full version with all the features.

Had to watch it on my phone since Youtube is blocked at work.  Kinda freaked me out since it went so fast and I didn't have time to mentally reference what was occurring in most places.  Pretty cool, though.

79 bucks? what the hell. it's a cool little program, but not 79 dollars worth.

Centennia?

Did you not look at your link? It says under the video that the software was Centennia - that's what they used to make it.

I don't think so but basing price on size is pretty silly.
