Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Such an underrated game. I'd love for a sequel. I wonder if there's a modding community for the original...

There is an unofficial patch that I wouldn't play without. It fixes the game up drastically.

I picked this game up years back on a whim. I had never even heard of it and went to the store with no intentions of buying anything. Saw it on the shelf clearanced. Since It looked interesting I grabbed it.

Supposedly number 2 was in the works when Elixer got nabbed or went under or whatever happened.

Do you have any more information on this patch? I feel the search results for "Evil Genius patch" are a bit vague...

Here you go.

http://wiki.n1nj4.com/index.php?title=Unofficial_Patch

There is no mention if the official patches need to be installed first. It has been a long time, but if I remember right it is not necessary. Maybe check the readme file after downloading.

*Edit

Did a little reading into it. Installed the official 1.01 patch. Then Ran the setup for the unofficial patch(remember to change destination directory to the /evil genius folder) And it's good to go. Don't forget to adjust screen resolution in-game. I think this is going to be a fun night.

Too bad Elixir Studios closed down. The game they were working on "Blue Vault" looked really good. Rebellion Developments owns Elixir's IPs now so I don't think we will ever see a sequel.

Never noticed this, but the guy on the far right looks like this

I'm just taking a guess, but they were probably both based on this guy.

No... I want a sequel to this in a year or two once we've gotten past this horrible DLC phase.

Unfortunately activision owns sierra now... so I wouldn't expect any good sierra games for a while. :(

We will never be past this DLC phase.

The original holds up well. I play it through Steam.

I believe there is a sequel. It's a facebook game.
