Patrician 3 is a beloved, classic game by many which is why the discord community in 2025 has gathered over 1800 members since its creation in 2019. Today, it was brought to our attention that this vote exists, AND WE WILL ANSWER!!!!!!
The Italian version of the game is considered a rarity, even though it had full Italian translation, from the text to the dub. That's because the distribution company has gone bankrupt. This game is already on GOG, but it would be really neat to have the Italian version on it too.
I love this game. I used to play it with my father as a child. Now i play it alone but it is not the same. I'd love to hear of more people who love this game and who find it in modern days as a new game.

This is the game I spent most hours in my childhood playing, not even knwoing what I was doing. Now I pikced it up as an adult and boy it felt wonderful. It would be awesome to have it updated and restored.

Patrician 3 is a game where you feel the love the developers poured into it. The church bell rings according to your realtime. The music flows depending on ingame context. You can micromanage the hansa to success, or just automate, fast foward and watch your money grow. Starting with trading, getting into production and then going on expeditions - the game has a lot to offer, even to different playstyles. You can hunt pirates or even turn pirate yourself and attack the hansa. Maybe even found your own city. Become the Alderman. Using all these mechanics - how big can you grow the hansa?! I play this game solo and still play it today.

This game teaches how a management and economics game should be, from its production chains to its complex logistics management. An old-fashioned game with soul.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Parasite Eve II
Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name. Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.
