Auf dem Amiga habe ich Stunde um Stunde mit dem Spiel verbracht. verschiebende Frontlinien, Luftkämpfe und Bombenangriffe machten richtig Laune. Leicht zu erlenen, aber doch schwer zu bestehen.

Pro Evolution Soccer 4
Pro Evolution Soccer 4Pro Evolution Soccer 4 (or PES4 for short) is a football game developed for consoles such as the PS2 and Xbox by Konami. The Game was released in 2004. The box art for PES4, like PES3, displays an image of then referee Pierluigi Collina, despite the fact that he does not appear in the game. Francesco Totti and Thierry Henry also appear on the cover. PES4 was the first of the Pro Evolution Soccer series to support online play but only on the Xbox. It was the first game to have licensed leagues with Serie A, Eredivisie and La Liga.

Stronghold Crusader
Stronghold CrusaderStronghold: Crusader is the successor to Firefly Studios's 2001 game Stronghold.[3] Crusader has much in common with the original Stronghold, but differs from its predecessor in the fact that the game is no longer set in a pseudo-Europe, instead being set in the Middle East during the Crusades.[4] The game features a multitude of new Arabian units that can be purchased in a new building, the mercenary post. Though the Arabian troops do not require any weapons to produce, they are rather expensive. The game was also released as Stronghold Warchest. This version was a compendium of Stronghold and an enhanced version of Stronghold: Crusader, containing additional characters and an additional Crusader Trail. Stronghold Warchest was only released in limited number of countries (i. e. USA or Poland), meaning players in the rest of the world have never encountered the second Crusader Trail, or second set of characters. This changed when an updated version of Stronghold Crusader, Stronghold: Crusader Extreme was released in early 2008.

Stronghold 2
Stronghold 2Tax, torture or treat your peasants! Rehabilitate criminals or sentence them to death? Decide as you joust over a lavish banquet, all while under siege from the warmongering Lord Barclay. Will you entertain with medieval tournaments or rule with an iron fist and dispense feudal justice to overworked and malnourished peasants? With powerful barons jostling for power over a disintegrating kingdom, it is up to you to stem the tides of ambition and unite the land under the one true King! Building on the sim gameplay of the original Stronghold, Stronghold 2 allows players to rule as they please and still conquer each skirmish. Unhappy peasants turn to crime and must be punished, rival lords can raise entire armies on their title alone and sieges must be fought tooth and nail, with close combat taking place inside castle structures. Stronghold 2 Online extends this gameplay to competitive multiplayer for up to eight players, with offline skirmish mode also available against computer-controller opponents. The online services used GameSpy which was shutdown. The Steam Edition is the only version of Stronghold 2 that still features multiplayer using Steam Multiplayer.
