Land Of The Pharoahs - Dimitri Tiomkin

A pharoah game to play

Advantages: Incredibly addictive
Disadvantages: Incredibly addictive

. It would have been nice to have that in my version! Obviously I got no manual either, but that tends to be the most expensive part of the game, so I'm not all that surprised. You can play "custom missions" that are basically just individual scenarios (haven't tried those yet), or you can lead your "family" through a series of Periods (basically, campaigns consisting of several missions) starting with the Pre-Dynastic. Distance equals time which equals money?you'll really need to be careful about your city's layout. The farther the sprites have to walk, the slower the game is. This is annoying when you are building monuments. Egyptian engineering wasn't as advanced as Rome's, so you'll find your cities growing along different lines: without aqueducts, much of your growth will be on or near wet, arable lands close to water sources. Most ...

Review of Pharoah (PC)

A Land Rover with the manners of an executive car.

Advantages: Exceptional towing vehicle, comfortable & reliable
Disadvantages: Quite sluggish

I have owned many large, spacious and comfortable vehicles; both 4x4s and cars (Mitsibishi Shoguns, Mercedes...). However, now on my second Discovery (a '52 Reg' TD5 GS) I can safely say that the Land Rover has blitzed the others. It offers a unique blend of ruggedness and comfort without sacrificing luxury. When I bought my first Discovery, again a TD5 back in 2000, friends of mine were sceptical of my choice of Diesel over the V8 petrol. However, when they experienced the smoothness and adequacy of the Turbocharged 5-cylinder unit they quickly congratulated me on my choice. Also in terms of MPG the TD5 offers around 25-30 compared to the horrific consumption of the V8. Indeed it is the coupling of the engine and drivetrain which ultimately makes the Disco TD5, the abundance of torque is after all fundamental to any 4x4 especially ...

Review of Land Rover Discovery 2.5 Td5

Land rover Discovery TD5

Advantages: 4 wheel drive with lowering prices
Disadvantages: A little soft on cornering

If you have the money to spare and are looking for a car that has Looks - Style - Comfort - Reliability and a real name that's had a good following over the years, I would highly recommend the Land rover Discovery. The biggest asset at the moment is that the price throughout the range has been reduced dramatically due to the recent changes in importation and dealership, and if you shop around you really can pick up an excellent deal, Even Secondhand. With the TD5 ( Turbo Diesel ), you get real quality even with the earlier models. The only drawback with the earlier ones is that the ride tends to be a bit bumpy, but having said that the early models are more economical to run in general averaging 30 - 35 MPG. The more recent models ( I.E 1997 Onward ) usually run at around 25 - 30 MPG, But obviously they are much more luxurious ...
