Absolutely loved Settlers II as a kid, and still enjoy it a lot as an adult although it gets very slow and you can get soft-locked sometimes. Still would be great to play and discuss in the club. Would be good to hear some tips and stuff!
I’m curious about the other entries in the series. Is the original as fun? Do any later ones recapture that magic? I can’t say I was a big fan of the graphics in the later ones, although we had the 10th Anniversary edition and played that a bit.
When I made one of these I had UFO: Enemy Unknown, Transport Tycoon, Dungeon Keeper, Fallout, Sam & Max Hit the Road and Theme Hospital on it. really not a bad turnout for DOS games!
Yeah, this is nostalgic for me, from playing the shareware version. I think I did try to play the full version much later but didn’t get very far, I think the puzzles can be pretty inscrutable in classic point & click style. I wonder if this is the classic shareware problem where all the best stuff is in the demo… still, I think it’d be a fun one to do, lots to talk about.
Yeah, I’ve played AstroFire too, it’s a fun Asteroids clone (with some extra stuff maybe?) but it’s not as interesting as this one.
The bonus levels in TerraFire are basically just AstroFire levels, too 🙂
I came across this one via a post on Mastodon recently and thought it looked really fascinating. I’d be interested in giving it a play, it’s so atmospheric and unusual! No idea if it plays well, though.

A bunch of my friends had been raving about it, and this post tipped me over the edge and I got it a few days ago. Really cool, I’m having a lot of fun with it. Party House is my favourite so far, a great deckbuilder game. So much character and polish across the board.
It seems like both DOS and Windows versions are provided on the retail disc. Not sure about the GOG version.
I played the demo back in the day and it had a very cool style. I’d be well up for playing this through.
thanks for posting this, I played Cheesy Invaders as a kid but I hadn’t seen it for 30 years!
the call to arms (held down) is pretty much the way to go, but also – you can drop an imp at the edge of your claimed land, and they’ll start wandering around claiming whatever land they can get their hands on.
if there’s a route from your dungeon to the enemy dungeon, your imps will eventually get there – if they get attacked they’ll just run away, at which point you can dump all your creatures at the nearest piece of claimed land and they’ll start brawling with the enemy. if you beat them you can dump your imps here again and keep claiming land and rooms on the way to the dungeon heart, or again, just use the call to arms spell.
