Venice from Cryo
This game represents a new principle in online games which combines varied centres of interest.
Venice is the first historical online game of strategic management and training based on the economic system of 16th century Venice. This adventurous PC CD-Rom game is released by Cryo Networks on 31 March, 2000 (£34.99) and is targeted towards men and women aged 20+ who command a strong interest in the economy, art, power and communication of Venice.
Behold the spectacular online City of Doges in the 16th century faithfully reconstructed in 3D. Speculate, trade, buy your works of art, send expeditions to make your initial capital grow and give you access to the highest spheres of Patrician society in Venice.
With our without the help of your Scuola (an association of players), you will need to employ all your qualities as a trader to assemble your financial and artistic wealth, which will bear witness to your opulence. Without it, your ascension in Venetian society is likely to be strongly compromised, particularly since there are many rivals all coveting the Doge's position that will give them pre-eminence over all economic life in Venice. If you distance yourself a little from the plots being woven in the shadows, you can try to solve the enigma of the month and with a trip to Venice to confront reality.
