Why not.....it was a great game despite poor sales.

What was it that gamers didn't appreciate abut Sacrifice? The different game mechanics, the less than accurate marketing of game as an "RTS" or camera controls? I loved the fact that there was more "strategy" involved than simply building up a massive army to stomp the enemy; supply lines, unit formation and controlling key areas on map are some of Sacrifices pluses that kept me busy...along with diversionary tactics which produced some humorous moments. Graphics are some of the best to date imo, though I know they pushed many video cards to their limits, including Radeon owners who felt the neglect of good drivers from ATI. The re playability is high too [5 Gods to play for] making Sacrifice well worth the price, yet it quickly & sadly faded to the bargain bins of PC games.

So, did you play? Likes/dislikes....and would you welcome a Sacrifice2?

I liked it well enought, would certainly give a Number 2 a try.
This thread made me want to play it again, actually, so I tried installing it on my laptop, a very robust machine. But no, nothing, nada. It messes up the display configuration and then nothing happens.

And since I don't have the patience to spend a whole day triyng to fix a PC game anymore... *sighs* oh well, I have good memories of that game.

Just curious, does your laptop by chance have a Radeon GPU?

Nope, NVIDIA Geforce Go, 7400 I believe.

Why?

Why?

When Sacrifice was realesed I recall Radeon card owners experiencing problems due to lack of quality drivers supplied by ATI. Btw, dont recall Shiny ever patching Sacrifice, do you/anyone?

Well now that you mention it, I went looking for the patch. Not hard, apparently, there were 3 patches for SACRIFICE, I tried them, didn't work...
