Sarcas' Game Page

Hello, and welcome to my humble game site on the web. I've been gaming and just generally messing about on my PC for almost all my life (which isn't all that long), and when I finally got around to having a page, I thought that I might as well write about the one topic in which I might be said to have "expertise." This of course was a lie to myself, but eh, who really cares. So, if you're looking in frustration for the solution to an annoying adventure game, or want some cheats for a Quake-a-like, because you really can't be bothered to try any more, I wrote this page for you. I've tried to get input from surfers, but since no-one ever comes here, I haven't had much response. If you want to say anything about the site, just click on the link at the bottom of the page.

A lot of my new gaming information comes from , and my holy bible when it comes to games reviews is PC Gamer (UK). PC Plus is the other publication that I read all the time. They have some great full apps., some of which are availible from their website. They also have the latest hardware and software reviews, as well as programming tips.

Game of the Month

Civilization II

With the release of Quake II on a very eager world, many people have not only proclaimed it very, very good, but have subsequently claimed that it is in fact, the very best game that has ever been programmed ever. And despite my respect for PCGamer, and all of these other reviewers, they are in fact wrong. Yes, it did indeed score 96% in this month's issue (#51), which is the joint highest score ever. The other holder of this coveted title is actually the real best game of all time. Ever. It is huge, it is strategy based, it is full of facts about human history, it has rolling video about ancient archelogical sites, and it is turned based. But despite all the things that are against it, Civ II manages to pull almost any type of gamer into its megalomanic grip. No other game has made me want to play it for the rest of my life, ignoring the outside world. Even when there is a power cut, Civ II automatically saves your game every turn anyway, switching between two saved files, in case you make a stupid mistake, and you realise it a bit later than you ought to, which means that you can immeadiatly return to your game. No one can quite pin down the success of Civ II. You sit down to play it for five minutes, check the time after what you feel is five minutes, and discover that it is in fact two hours later (This is in fact known as Civilization Time-Loss Syndrome). If you have never heard of the Civilizations, then where have you been? Here is a quick run down, just in case: Your job is to take a tribe of people from 4000 BC, and create the ultimate civilization. The ultimate goal is to either construct a spaceship and establish a colony on Alpha Centuri, or to destroy all the other civilizations on Earth before the year 2020. You start with one settler, with which you can construct your first city. You then build units to explore and defend that city. If you find enemy cities, then you might be able to take them over, and expand your empire. You can build improvements within your cities to make them better. City Walls increase the defense ability of your units inside the city, and courthouses reduce corruption. You have to research many different things to help you along the way. I could go on, but I will save that for my Civ II page (which will be coming along soon, unlike my ill-fated MDK page, which was sadly eaten by the monster on the road to hell). It has been released this month (in the UK) on budget for 20 pounds. So go out and buy it. Now. (I only expect .1% of the visitors to this site to acutally have to do this).
