Patrician IV comes with a storied history. With the original game having launched back in the days of the Atari ST computers, during a time when games like Patrician and others of their ilk were popular. The games didn't require a ton of processing power, since they were about economic simulation and not blasting alien space lords. With the resurgence in "mercantile" games (think Farmville), it seems a fitting time for Kalypso to unleash something new in the franchise that adds a little more depth."
