Evil Genius

In light of the success of the RCT2 thread, I thought it would be a good idea to bring out another great game, although slightly more overlooked than RCT2 is.

Bought myself a new copy and it arrived today:

Restarted the mission 3 times over the last 2 days after learning new things. Hopefully got a much more efficient layout now, really enjoying the game though

I could have planned the above lair better.

Was just building randomly to get back into it.

Forgot how to do/find things.

makes me want to play dungeon keeper

This is one of my all time fave PC games, the torture chambers are awesome. Expect it to get a lot harder after you get the meeting of evil genius's.

I thought it was a big pile of crap tbh! I was expecting another Dungeon Keeper game and this was a big let down!

I loved this game, spent way too much time on it lol.

At the stage before the agents start coming to the base i used to leave it running overnight with a huge room for storing gold and have my minnions steal money all night. Then i just spent my time messing around with too much money and to few traps

Is it any less buggy than it was? Seemed to be an entertaining enough game but how buggy it was ruined it for me!

CliffyBiro · 3 Apr 2009 at 17:59

There is an official patch as well as an unofficial patch.

The unofficial one is said to fix all bugs.

Brilliant game. Still got an old PC kicking around with it installed...

Hmm

Now that wouldn't be any fun, I like building my evil empire from scratch. takes away all the fun.

but they said they just left it running over night in the time before agents come. it;s basically the same thin g

A few more screenshots.

Bit of a problem after installing the 1.01 patch though. For some reason I can't delete rooms and there's a problem with minion capacity.

Kyuss · 5 Apr 2009 at 20:03

I used to love this game, i kept getting random crashes though so gave up on it

Streeteh · 5 Apr 2009 at 20:06

Loved this game until i got to the second island and the James-bond parody super agent started to appear. He was just too powerful and would wipe out half of my base before i could catch him. I hadn't got to the point where you would learn how to kill the super agents so they would simply escape and come back and get me later on.

CliffyBiro · 5 Apr 2009 at 20:08

I had to start again as I got the the objective where you had to build a lab.

I had no room left and couldn't delete any.

Re-installing now.

CliffyG · 5 Apr 2009 at 21:05
