Hammurabi, The Game - HD

Hammurabi, The Game, is our tribute to a classical computer game. The original game (called Hamurabi, due to limitations of the original hardware in the lenght of names) was the ancestor of strategy and resource management games and was completely text based. The iPad version is enhanced with graphics (and sound effects) and sliders for input management. Moreover, some additions were introduced to game mechanism to improve longevity. It's also possible to play with the original version initial resources parameters.

The game's goal is simple. You’re given a kingdom to rule over by managing land and grain resources. In each turn you can buy and sell land for grain, you can allocate grain for your people and use the rest of the grain to plant your land.

To succeed, you must successfully balance population demands with available crops. You must achieve this task while trying to stave off random occurrences such as the plague and the ever-present rat problem.

Through trial and error you can find the optimal balance. Govern well and receive the accolades of your people. Govern poorly and you'll be responsible for the deaths of many...

The game is also available for your iPhone and Mac!

Varies very little from 1980's original

No one under the age of 35 will appreciate this game. This was one of the first widely distributed games ever and is only a few years after Pong. I actually hand keyed this code from a book into Basic when I was in my early teens. Most people will pass on this and unless you've played it before DON'T buy it. I only bought and played it for nostalgia and then only a few times.

Not like the original

This game claims to be like the original, yet limits you to 7 or 10 years and not until you win or the people revolt. Also, it claims to have 2 versions of the game, but I found both virtually the same.
