The Settlers II Gold Edition (Amiga)

The Settlers II is regarded as the pinnacle of the series and a milestone in the building strategy genre. The game perfected everything that made the first part awesome: the bustling inhabitants, the complex economic chains, and the unique charm. Now finally it’s where it belongs – on the Amiga.
