Finally managed to properly install Caesar III under #Linux, to run under the open source re-implementation of the gaming engine, #Augustus. It wasn't as straightforward under Linux due to case sensitivity on files, and a special tool to unarchive shielded .cab files, but it worked at the end thanks to the wiki. Bear in mind, the game requires the original artwork from 1998 (easily found online).

I completed mission "01 - The New Governor" of Caesar III - Julius Fork.
👀 My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️A quick afternoon play through of the first episode of Caesar III - primarily to test out that the content structure and RSS feeds are working correctly for my video games section. #caesariii

Things you realise once you reach #Forever28.

* You can finish and become rich in #SimFarm. But as a Forever28, you can't duplicate your success.
* You can win every single game of #CaesarIII and #CaesarIV, but not as a Forever28.
* You play #Diablo (the original) without cheating (especially the duplicate cheat). As a Forever28, you can't even imagine how you played Diablo without cheating.

Most important of all: you still don't like #eyecandy games. Games like #MUD / #MUSH (text-based online #RPG), #roguelike, dungeon crawlers, and isometric games, are still your go to #games.
