Great Game to Play at work
 
Anybody else agree the Simplicity of the game and the great multi-Tasking it provides does like no other game can do. For instance I can't play Tropico at work because its to dam much. But Se4 I doesnt take up anything when you multi-Task http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

I would probably get fired if I got caught playing it at work...

Almost worth the risk.

We have PC access at work, but if my employer does not have a licences to have the game, they will delete it the moment they discover it, and I fully support that.

But if it was licenced, wooooooowww no work would ever get done. http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

If I got caught playing games at work I would probably be fired too. My boss can see over my shoulder as well so I couldn't hide a full screen game like SEIV.

Hiding a little browser screen like this to watch the forums though... that's a different matter=-)

Now you'll know what happened if I ever suddenly stop posting http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/ima...ons/icon10.gif

i'm at work too now, and the only games i play here are Utopia and Earth 2025, and that was because my boss wanted to http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif

i don't think i would be able to play se4 here though, but i wouldn't be fired for it

No No No! If it looked like excel I wouldn't get ANY work done (well maybe thats not such a bad idea http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif)

Reminds me of some older games from Micropose and probably other companies did the same. They had a short cut key that would pause the game and dump you to a screen that looked like a dos shell with a prompt. I remember the first I saw it said something about boss key.

I think we should lobby MM for a SEIV Version or mode which uses a special graphics set to disguise the game screen as an excel spreadsheet.


now *that* would rock=-)

I remember a shareware game like that. They had a key (F12 I think) as the Boss key. If you hit it, it would go to a spreadsheet looking screen.

Yeah, I'm at work too... http://www.shrapnelgames.com/ubb/images/icons/icon7.gif No games, jut a few minutes on a forum here and there.
