                    Ever 
                    fancied being a traveller, moving from town to town trading 
                    your wares? Well now you can, as well as travelling from 
                    world to world. You'll get the chance to fight and trade your 
                    way to fame and fortune embroiling yourself in the internal 
                    struggle between good and evil... 
                   
                    Spells of Gold is a vast trading game, in the style 
                    of the 1980s classic Elite. It sprawls across dozens 
                    of worlds, inhabited by classic fantasy races and strange 
                    and mysterious creatures unique to these lands. 
                   
                    The game features a dynamic financial model, simulating complex 
                    fantasy economies where the player's own actions can be seen 
                    affecting each local economy. As the game progresses, as your 
                    wealth and renown build, and as your magical powers increase 
                    and you complete more of the side-quests, your actions affect 
                    far more than simply economies. 
                  You're 
                    going to need to sharpen your battle tactics as well. It's 
                    no good travelling all over the universe, if you are incapable 
                    of fighting off hostile forces. And your going to have the 
                    be prepared to perform some menial tasks until your standing 
                    as a serious trader starts to take off. 
                  The 
                    graphics are not bad, but the main problem is the long periods 
                    of time where nothing much happens, the next you are in the 
                    thick of the action. It's hard to recommend a game when you 
                    spend most of the time doing nothing. 
                  But 
                    those who like strategy games will probably love this.
