Settlers 2 - great strategy game. The sequels never came close.

I've started replaying this recently, and it still hold up.

Only downside is that it's a bit slow. But with some snacks and drinks this is a great time killer!

Yippee!

I also thought that this one was, and still is, the best in the franchise. Even the music is better in 2.
- Yeah. The other games all felt... off... Even the 10th anniversary of this game didn't have the same magic. I think the sprite work has a lot to do with it.
  
  Though the sequel to the 10th Anniversary ("Aufbruch der Kulturen") was pretty cool because of its three asymmetrical factions.
Wow, what a blast from the past. I loved playing this game as kid. I'm not sure I understood the strategy or anything, but I did love playing it :P
I've been hearing good things about the new game being developed by the original creator on Settlers 2 &. 3. He's released "pioneers of pagonia" as early access on Steam.
An amazing game
