The hours I sunk into that game...
For anybody unfamiliar, Pharoah is a spiritual sequel to Caesar 3 - same game-play style but set in ancient Egypt rather than the Roman empire. You have to build a city by placing houses, shops, wells, etc making sure you generate enough food and other goods, appease the gods, guard against plague and the threat of foreign armies. Oh, and building a couple of tiny monuments once in a while.
The whole thing is *so* addictive. A lot of the levels end up with you needed to crank the play speed to maximum and sitting back while your workers dash about the screen finishing off that massive pyramid, but I still loved it. I also enjoy watching my disk defragment.
It's available from GOG.com for the curious and uninitiated.
