Look what I found!

An old classic from 1994...Master of Magic, turn-based strategy game in the Civ family. I had completely forgotten about this game...and how addictive simple turn-based strategy games can be.

It can be yours for $5.99...that's almost nothing. And since GoG.com accepts PayPal you can be playing the game in about 2 minutes - that's how long downloading and installation is going to take you.

I'm currently playing as Moerdred the Death Mage, directing legions of Draconians out of my capital of Kal-Shaitar.

Great fun!
