I'm a bit slow to post here because of them timezones.

 

[Till]

Merchant Prince?

 

[Rheinmetall]

Merchant Prince?

Well that was quick.

Have you played it recently?

 

[Till]

Woah, i didn't expect to be right!
I tried it a couple of month ago, but didn't get into it. Maybe you need to have played those oldies when they came out, in order to be able to enjoy them now.

This is a trade game i used to play till death. Its only downside was the godawful combat system:

 

[Rheinmetall]

You should give it another try. It's a great game. Quite simple actually, don't let the ugly UI intimidate. Trading system is close to colonization (throw stuff to boat & unload it somewhere else for a tidy profit). Once you get few ships&caravans hauling stuff, you're hooked. Once you get started with the trading you'll have plenty of time to get acquinted with other stuff.

 

[Till]

I might just do that, if the urge to play trade games comes back. The thing that put me down was that i couldn't find my way around the UI and the lack of a tutorial.

 

[Till]

No guesses at all? Here's a hint: The game was published by "sunflowers".

 

[Dreadnought]

1602? Just a guess

PS - I can't see the picture at all but 1602 was a trade game published by sunflowers

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

anno 1503? Complete guess from a quick googling.

 

[Till]

No it's neither of those. I'm having trouble finding it on the web myself, maybe it never was shipped outside Germany!
Here are some hints, in case anybody feels like googling:
1. The game is named after an influential famiy of bankers from Augsburg.
2. The game came out in 1996
3. It was developed by 4head studios and published by sunflowers.
(I think it was 4head studios' first title)

Since i am not sure if the game even was available outside Germany, i'll just post the answer in spoiler tags.

Spoiler Answer :

Die Fugger 2

 

[Ciceronian]

The Fuggers?

 

[Till]

You are right, Ciceronian! Shows that you not only know about world history, but also about gaming history.
Feel free to take over.

Thanks Yom... errr I mean Till! And although I know quite a couple of computer games, my answer was based on the hint about the Augsburg trading family, and that could only have been the Fuggers!
Anyway, hadn't really noticed this thread before, but it seems like a great idea! Since it seems to be standard practice to post a screenshot and ask about the game, I shall follow suit. This game might not be too well known, but I expect that someone will recognise it fairly quickly:

 

[Ciceronian]

Seems as if this was a little too hard...
HINT: The game was published as six seperate chapters, the first of which was available for free download.

 

[Till]

Ah now i know the game! I remember hearing about it, but decided against getting it for one reason or another. The name still escapes me, though. Maybe somebody remembers it, without focing me to ask google again?

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Sadly I have no idea, so feel free.

 

[Ciceronian]

HINT: The title of the game is related to a well-known name from Arthurian legend.

I think with this hint you should be able to get it, Till (without googling )!

 

[carmen510]

King Arthur?

 

[Till]

Was it camelot? Legend of camelot or something? I think i'll have to sleep over it.
How is the game series, by the way?
