I remember playing this in parallel with Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II on my trusty Riva TNT2... ah, those were the times.

Shut up and take my money!

Thanks. :)

Did you just call me son?

That much I can't tell you. You're asking too much of my kinda awful memory. I wasn't even that much into the game because I used to enjoy other genres more, but my brother played it a lot and sometimes I would sit down and watch him play. (Yes we only had one computer)

So, uh... maybe?

It was a joke. XD Kind of a reference to the movie Vacation. When Rusty would see something really stupid or out of place his dad would tell him, "Well that's the way it was son."

I meant nothing personal by it Sir and I apologize if it was interpreted as such.

Yes, this is a game we Germans typically love, I have to buy it :-)

That's cool, i remember Afterlife. It's an excellent managerial sim, but plagued with gut-wrenching difficulty. It's hard, and i mean VERY hard. Probably too much.
I would say it's as good as Theme Hospital or Dungeon Keeper if it wasn't for the frustrating difficulty.

THANK YOU GOG!

I had hoped that you'd get this game from the LucasArts catalog and you didn't fail me.

Don`t worry I was just j/king too. I was thinking of Wolverine when the beast called him `Son`. Wolverine had the same response!

Thanks for the info!

I've just fired up my physical copy of the game and yes, just like in SimCity, you have to choose a difficulty level at the beginning, which dictates your starting budget and you have the option to turn off disasters (or trigger them...).

There's also a somewhat helpful series of tutorials in the game, filed under the option "help", which has your two advisors explain the basics of the game.

One of the core aspects of the game is the concept of different requirements for building heaven and hell. Heaven is supposed to be as accomodating and harmonious as possible, so you have to build smaller, diversified blocks of zones, alongside short, direct roads. Hell, however, is there for punishment: Large blocks of monotonous zoning and long, possibly even confusing roads. Buildings also give off either good "vibes" or bad ones, with the former being positive in heaven and negative in hell; and vice versa. It is all very complex.

One pretty important element is the balancing: Each "fate structure" can house either temporary or permanent SOULs and depending on how many of either type there are, you need to set the "activity" for that structure. That simply means opening the individual structure's menu and adjust a little slider. The mean part is, you have to do that for every single structure. In theory, anyway. In practice, you'll probably end up using the "auto" function in a menu called "Macromanager" (it's identified by an icon showing two Ms) to adjust the balance in all structures at once. It'll cost money to use, but at least it won't drive you insane.

Thank you guys, I did not even dare to hope this crazy gem will become available again :)

Oh, I still have to original box+CD+manual of this. Quirky game and far from flawless but funny with many odd (but not unthinkable) things. I'm also very fond of the helpers Aria Goodhalo and Jasper Wormsworrth. In-game tutorials are interesting too. You can spend many hours in this. Golden oldie, glad to see it here.

be fast and get it now, before greedy disney decides to rise the price
