E: archive.org gave me some options which I need to test, but for now I’m calling it SOLVED, thanks!
I know I’m not meant to ask for a specific title, but it’s the second in the series where you age up your empire wink wink…

E: speaking of which - I’ve just been testing the games I downloaded off the back of this post, and one is now stuck looking for steam subscriptions before it will run, on to the next!
